AI SoC FPGA Prototyping Lead

Ecarx Co.; Greater London; Presencial; GBP 90.000 - 130.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Ecarx Co. seeks a Prototyping Lead to establish and guide our FPGA-based prototyping and emulation capability for AI SoC designs. You will build and manage the prototyping platform enabling software development, system validation, and performance evaluation before silicon becomes available.

This role blends hands-on FPGA engineering, hardware bring-up, and cross‑team coordination across architecture, design, verification, and software groups to accelerate AI chip readiness.

Formación

• 8+ years in FPGA design, prototyping, or emulation.
• Strong RTL experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Hands-on FPGA lab bring-up and debugging.
• Experience with high-speed interfaces (PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, AXI).
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field.
• Proven technical leadership in projects or mentoring engineers.

Responsabilidades

• Lead development and deployment of FPGA-based prototyping and emulation platforms.
• Define FPGA prototyping strategy including partitioning, tools, and architecture.
• Drive end-to-end FPGA implementation flow: RTL integration, synthesis, PnR, timing, bitstream.
• Own FPGA lab bring-up, hardware debug, and lab validation.
• Develop prototyping build flows, regression infra, and automation scripts.
• Collaborate with software/firmware to enable early development on FPGA prototypes.
• Support emulation-based verification and acceleration flows.
• Interface with design teams to optimize prototyping efficiency.
• Manage FPGA lab infrastructure and resource planning.
• Mentor junior FPGA engineers and grow the prototyping team.
