Role Type: SMTS/MTS
Domain: Memory-Centric FPGA Prototyping & Emulation | DDRx/LPDDRx Integration | System Debug & Validation
Role Summary
As an FPGA Prototyping & Emulation Engineer, you will design, build, and scale FPGA-based platforms to enable next‑gen memory‑centric solutions. You will work across RTL, system integration, and debug to accelerate time‑to‑market for complex silicon programs.
Key Responsibilities
FPGA Prototyping & Emulation
- Develop and maintain FPGA prototypes/emulation environments for SoC/IP validation
- Perform RTL integration, partitioning, synthesis, and timing closure
- Support multi‑FPGA bring‑up and scalability for large SoCs
Interface & System Integration
- Integrate and validate interfaces such as PCIe, USB, UFS, Ethernet (EMAC), I2C, SPI, UART
- Enable memory controller development and interfacing
- Enable DDR/memory subsystem integration in prototyping environments
- Collaborate with design teams to ensure functional correctness and performance alignment
Debug & Bring‑Up
- Debug system‑level issues across RTL/integration, clocks, resets, CDC, firmware/software interactions
- Support early software bring‑up and system validation on FPGA platforms
- Build debug visibility (probes, traces, instrumentation)
Automation & Flow Optimization
- Improve prototyping/emulation flow efficiency (build, deploy, validate cycles)
- Develop automation using Python/Tcl for regression runs, platform configuration, debug trace collection
Minimum Qualifications
- 10-20+ years of experience in FPGA Design/FPGA Prototyping (A Must)
- Good understanding of RTL integration, SystemVerilog, Verilog, timing closure, STA, CDC, multi‑FPGA
- Familiarity with memory controller, DDR interfaces and memory subsystem integration
- Familiarity with high‑speed and low‑speed protocols such as PCIe, UFS, USB, EMAC, I2C, SPI, UART
- Good understanding of SoC architecture and verification methodologies
- Strong debugging and problem‑solving skills
- Experience with scripting languages (Python, TCL) for automation
- Exposure to software bring‑up on FPGA/emulation platforms
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field with 10+ years of experience, OR
- PhD with 10+ years of experience
