Job Title

FPGA Prototyping Debug and Runtime Infrastructure Development Engineer

Role Summary

Contribute to FPGA prototyping debug and runtime infrastructure for Mentor/Siemens FPGA prototyping software and hardware platforms. Implement, verify, and maintain FPGA RTL IP and supporting software components used in prototyping and validation workflows.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Specific years of experience not provided.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include design, verification, deployment, and support of FPGA/RTL IP and related software.

• Design, implement, and maintain RTL/IP in Verilog/SystemVerilog or VHDL.
• Validate and test designs using simulation and FPGA hardware boards.
• Develop and test related software components (C/C++, Python) and work in Linux.
• Perform RTL synthesis and implement timing/physical constraints using Xilinx Vivado and Intel PSG Quartus flows.
• Analyze, debug, and tune hardware system performance and capacity.
• Provide customer-facing support to ensure successful deployment of features.
• Participate in specification, code review, and maintenance of design artifacts.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills listed below; a short list of desirable skills follows.

• Must-have: RTL design experience with SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL.
• Experience with ASIC and/or FPGA implementation flows (synthesis, place & route).
• Hands-on experience with Xilinx Vivado or Intel PSG Quartus toolflows.
• RTL simulation, verification, debug, and timing analysis skills.
• Programming experience in C/C++ and Python; familiarity with Linux OS.
• Experience validating designs on FPGA boards and performing hardware-level debugging.
• Ability to work effectively in a distributed R&D team and support customers.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with vendor IP integration and design reuse (Xilinx/Intel IP).
• Experience with performance tuning and capacity planning for hardware platforms.
• Prior experience in EDA or FPGA prototyping product development.
• Willingness to travel periodically to R&D or customer sites.

Education Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or Computer Engineering (BSCE) required.
