Description
The Silicon One team at Cisco is looking for an FPGA Design Engineer to lead the FPGA design and development of complex systems supporting next-generation networking devices and AI infrastructure.
You will take technical ownership of FPGA design activities, including architecture definition, RTL development, simulation, synthesis, timing closure, and hardware validation.
Key responsibilities:
- Define FPGA specifications, develop and implement RTL designs, and collaborate with Hardware, ASIC, Software, and System engineering teams throughout the product lifecycle.
- Design and integrate high-speed interfaces and communication protocols, including PCIe, Ethernet, and SerDes.
- Identify and resolve complex functional, timing, and integration issues through simulation, debugging tools, and hardware measurements.
Minimum qualifications:
- B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
- 4+ years of experience as an FPGA design engineer, developing and delivering complex FPGA-based projects.
- Experience in RTL design using Verilog or SystemVerilog.
Preferred qualifications:
- Experience with FPGA architecture, design implementation, synthesis, place-and-route, and timing closure.
- Solid understanding of digital design principles, including clock domain crossing (CDC), timing constraints, synchronization, and reset methodologies.
- Experience with FPGA simulation, functional verification, and debugging using industry-standard EDA tools.
- Experience integrating FPGA IP cores, memory interfaces, and communication protocols.
