Are you passionate about FPGA prototyping? Are you interested in pushing the boundaries of innovation to make FPGA prototypes faster and more efficient? Can you work in a fast-paced environment that requires coordination between many teams across geographies and resolving sophisticated problems daily? If so, we are looking for hardworking engineers who will craft FPGA prototypes of our next generation GPUs and SOCs on standard FPGA prototyping platforms. We are now looking for a Senior FPGA Prototyping Engineer to join our Emulation team onsite in Santa Clara, CA. What you'll be doing: Build FPGA prototypes by making RTL FPGA-friendly, partitioning the design and taking it through synthesis and place and route. Improve performance of the prototype, analyze timing and generate bit streams. Bring up the design on FPGA prototyping platforms and indulge in problem solving. Release the prototype to the customers and support them when they face problems. You are expected to understand the design and implementation, define the configurations, develop/modify the bringup and testing infrastructure and verify the correctness of the design. Good coordination with architects, designers, verification engineers, and SW teams 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 12+ years of experience, or MS with 10+ years of proven experience in FPGA prototyping. Good understanding of FPGA prototyping architecture, devices, flows and tools.
