Job Title: FPGA Design Engineer

Job Description

You will work with Xilinx devices, SystemVerilog, and Cadence simulation tools to implement, verify, and refine FPGA logic, combining reuse of existing modules with targeted development from scratch. The scope of your work will align with your experience level, ranging from extensive new logic creation for more experienced engineers to focused development and enhancement of existing designs for those earlier in their careers.

Responsibilities

Design and implement FPGA logic using Xilinx devices, leveraging existing components and creating new modules where needed.
Develop, maintain, and refine RTL code in SystemVerilog for complex digital designs.
Use Cadence tools to run simulations, analyze results, and validate FPGA functionality.
Modify existing test cases to cover new features and design changes, ensuring thorough verification.
Debug FPGA designs by identifying, analyzing, and resolving functional and timing issues.
Collaborate with other FPGA designers and expert verification engineers to define requirements, review designs, and improve overall platform quality.
Contribute to feature additions and new platform variants that support an optical switch and multiple digital interfaces.
Apply good digital design practices, including modular design, code reuse, and clear documentation.
Interface with related hardware components such as DACs, ADCs, external memories, and multiplexers using vendor IP where appropriate.
Support synthesis, timing constraints, and timing analysis activities when required to meet performance and reliability targets.

Essential Skills

5+ years of ASIC/FPGA Design experience
Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog for digital design and verification.
Experience with synthesis, timing constraints, and timing analysis for FPGA designs.
Hands-on experience using Cadence tools for FPGA simulation.
Familiarity with simulation environments and the ability to work within existing simulation frameworks.
Practical experience with design debug, including analyzing simulation results and resolving functional issues.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Knowledge of VHDL for digital design and maintenance of legacy or mixed-language code bases.
Familiarity with Xilinx Vivado or similar FPGA development tools.
Exposure to scripting (for example, Python) to automate design, simulation, or verification tasks.
Experience with C or C++ for firmware or low-level software that interfaces with FPGA logic.
Experience in DSP or high-speed digital design.
Understanding of PCIe and other high-speed interfaces implemented on FPGA platforms.
Experience working with DACs, ADCs, external memories, and multiplexers, including use of vendor IP cores.
