Senior Engineer I - Design, FPGA Applications

Technical support of firmware and/or hardware as part of highly integrated, FPGA-based custom embedded processing systems (FPGA SoC) used in new products developed by customers.

Functions & Responsibilities:

• Design, development, and customer support of embedded software for new FPGA-based electronic products ranging from simple ARM microcontroller-based solutions to highly complex RISC-V-based multicore embedded processing systems.
• Work with team members, including hardware designers, application engineers, and firmware developers to support worldwide customers to design in FPGA/FPGA-SoC devices.
• Collaborate with customers and FAEs of the design team to evaluate possible alternatives during the design and development process and determine the best approach based on performance, cost, and resources.
• Participate in the board bring-up, out-of-the-box experience of new FPGA SoC with embedded processor hardware with support from hardware designers and other engineering teams.
• Document ideas, designs, specifications, and instructions to standards.
• Mentor junior members of the tech support engineering staff to promote a Customer First culture in the team and establish good work practices.

Requirements/Qualifications:

• BE/B.Tech or ME/M.Tech with 4-6 years of experience.
• Demonstrated skill in developing original designs with Assembly/C/C++ in embedded environments including bare-metal, multi-threaded RTOS, and embedded operating systems.
• Specific experience with common microcontroller and/or embedded processing platforms such as RISC-V, ARM, and PIC. Experience with DSP and/or FPGA-based SoCs is a plus.
• Strong understanding of embedded software design and architectural concepts as well as the integration between firmware and hardware.
• Strong understanding of software development tools and methodologies used in the context of embedded systems. Familiarity with source control via established systems such as Git.
• Demonstrated skill in independently using electronics lab equipment to develop/troubleshoot low-level drivers and hardware integration for interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, USB, etc.
• Be able to work with a minimum of supervision and follow established design procedures during the development cycle, documenting the design to standards.
• Experience with 10G Ethernet, AMBA, PCI Express, DDR/QDR controllers is a big plus.
• Must possess good interpersonal skills and can work between multiple departments in carrying out this position's duties.
• The position involves interaction with customers/FAEs and internal engineering teams. The applicant will work independently to help customers develop solutions on FPGA SoC. Any such experience will be a big plus.
