SENIOR ENGINEER - FPGA design techniques

Job Description: FPGA Design Engineer (3-5 Years Experience)

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced FPGA Design Engineer with 3-5 years of hands-on expertise in FPGA development, design flow, and hardware debugging. The ideal candidate will have strong knowledge of FPGA tools, RTL design, and protocols, with exposure to domain-specific applications such as SDI, DisplayPort, HDMI, and Ethernet.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and verify FPGA-based solutions across multiple domains.
• Work with FPGA design flow including synthesis, place-and-route (PNR), and timing closure.
• Perform timing analysis and resolve timing-related issues.
• Conduct simulation using Questasim and validate designs.
• Debug hardware in lab setups using oscilloscopes, analyzers, and FPGA debuggers.
• Enhance and maintain design documentation based on project updates and improvements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate FPGA designs into larger systems.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong knowledge of FPGAs and hands-on experience with Synthesis and Implementation tools, like Libero or Vivado or Quartus.
• Proficiency in RTL design (Verilog/VHDL).
• Experience with FPGA hardware platforms and lab-based validation.
• Hands-on experience with Tcl scripting for automation.
• Understanding of IPs such as Transceivers, DDR, and PCIe.
• Familiarity with simulation tools like Questasim.
• Strong debugging skills using hardware tools (oscilloscopes, analyzers, etc.).

Domain Knowledge (Preferred)

• SDI, DisplayPort, HDMI 2.2, SLVS OR
• Motor Control, Holoscan OR
• TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking), Ethernet protocols

Desired Attributes

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Ability to work independently and in collaborative team environments.
• Excellent documentation and communication skills.
• Passion for exploring new FPGA trends and applying them to real-world applications
• FPGA Design and Validation experience
• Experience validating FPGA designs on Board
• Should be able to use Oscilloscopes
• Usage of Spirent or other Traffic generator tools will be added advantage
• Proficient with scripting language like TCL
• Good understanding of Lint, CDC is desired
• Knowledge of usage of AI Agents and Prompt Engineering is a plus.
