Senior Design Engineer

Job Summary:

We are seeking a skilled and motivated FPGA Prototyping/Emulation Engineer to join our hardware design team. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in FPGA-based prototyping and emulation of complex SoC designs, and will work closely with RTL designers, verification engineers, and software teams to enable early software development and system validation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain FPGA-based prototyping platforms for pre-silicon validation.
• Integrate and debug RTL blocks on FPGA platforms (e.g., Xilinx, Intel/Altera).
• Collaborate with design and verification teams to bring up emulation environments.
• Optimize FPGA resource usage and timing closure for large-scale designs.
• Support software teams with early access to hardware through emulation/prototyping.
• Automate build and deployment flows using scripting languages (Python, Tcl, Shell).
• Document design flows, debug procedures, and provide training/support to internal teams.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 3–4 years of hands-on experience in FPGA prototyping or emulation.
• Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals and RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog).
• Experience with FPGA tools such as Vivado, Quartus, Synplify, or similar.
• Familiarity with emulation platforms like Palladium, Veloce, or Zebu is a plus.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, Tcl).
• Good problem-solving and debugging skills.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
