FPGA / VLSI Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement RTL using SystemVerilog with consideration for timing, power, and area
• Perform FPGA prototyping, validation, and hardware bring-up for digital designs
• Develop and execute simulation and debugging strategies at block and subsystem levels
• Contribute to SoC-level integration, including interfacing with processors, memory, and peripherals
• Analyze and resolve timing issues, including setup/hold violations and basic clock domain crossing concerns
• Collaborate with verification, ASIC, and software teams to ensure functional correctness and performance
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to improving design quality and best practices

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• Strong experience writing synthesizable SystemVerilog/Verilog
• Proven experience with FPGA development flows, including synthesis, implementation, and validation
• Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals and timing analysis

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with SoC FPGA platforms (e.g., Xilinx Zynq, Intel SoC FPGA)
• Familiarity with AXI/AHB or similar bus protocols
• Exposure to ASIC design flow, including synthesis and STA
• Experience with high-speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet)
• Knowledge of communication systems (e.g., 5G PHY/MAC concepts)

What Success Looks Like:

• Independently handles well-defined design blocks from RTL to FPGA validation
• Produces clean, efficient, and timing-aware RTL
• Effectively debugs issues across simulation and hardware
• Collaborates well within a team and contributes to overall project progress
• Continuously improves technical depth and delivery efficiency
