## Description

Are you passionate about FPGA prototyping? We are looking for a hardworking engineer who will craft FPGA prototypes of our next generation GPUs and SOCs on standard FPGA prototyping platforms.

**What you'll be doing:**

- Build FPGA prototypes by taking the design through synthesis and place and route, analyzing timing and generating bitstreams.

- Bring up the design on FPGA prototyping platforms involving hands-on lab debug with HW and SW debuggers.

- Release the prototype to the customers and support them when they face problems.

- Using HW diagnostics specific to Prototyping platforms to help isolate issues between HW platform, FPGA design programmed on to platform.

- Good coordination with verification engineers and SW teams and Lab Technicians will be needed to accomplish your tasks.

**What we need to see:**

- BS (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields with 7+ years of experience in FPGA prototyping, or MS with 5+ years of proven experience in FPGA prototyping.

- Good understanding of FPGA prototyping hardware architecture, flows and tools.

- Experience with hands-on FPGA prototyping lab tasks and working with or managing lab technicians in lab environment of medium to large scale.

- Experience in backend flows of FPGA Prototyping - Synthesis, P&R and Timing closure, with emphasis on Synopsys Protocompiler and Xilinx Vivado.

- Hands-on experience with lab FPGA debug methodologies, tools (Identify and/or ChipScope), and lab debug equipment (oscilloscopes, logic/protocol analyzers).

**Ways to stand out from the crowd:**

- Experience with carrying out independent as well as collaborative debug tasks and ability to quickly triage and root-cause issues is a major plus.

- Prior experience with prototyping (Synopsys HAPS or FPGA platforms) of a high-performance processor or SOC is a plus.
