Role Posting Log in to save

The Solutions Architect-FPGA joins the team to architect and develop hardware/software co-design solutions for FPGA-based acceleration across networking, storage, automotive, aerospace, and AI/ML workloads. The role involves designing high-performance hardware acceleration engines and embedded software to enable next-generation compute platforms. Key responsibilities include participating in the full product development cycle, performing RTL development using SystemVerilog and Verilog, and developing firmware for ARM Cortex or RISC-V cores. The position requires integrating custom IP with the Network on Chip using Vivado and Vitis ecosystems. Candidates must possess skills in C/C++, Python, Tcl, and shell scripting, with deep knowledge of PCIe, AXI, DDR, and Ethernet protocols. The work focuses on solving complex technical challenges in high-speed logic, pre-silicon verification, and post-silicon validation.
