• Scripting/automation experience (Python, Tcl) to improve build flows and productivity.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement FPGA solutions for prototyping platform and link partner platform.
• Develop and maintain FPGA build (simulation, synthesis, P&R, timing closure, bitstream generation, regression).
• Integrate FPGA logic with embedded software, drivers, and host interfaces (Ethernet, USB, UART, SPI, I2C, etc.).
• Bring up FPGA platforms: board-level testing, power-on sequencing, clocking/reset strategy, and peripheral enablement.
• Perform system-level debug.
• Document platform architecture, integration guides, and best practices to enable internal users and downstream teams.
