Job Title

Product Engineer

Role Summary

Support definition, promotion, and deployment of hardware-assisted acceleration using the Veloce proFPGA CS prototyping platform. Focus on external interface connectivity (PCIe, Ethernet) and FPGA-based prototyping for pre- and post-silicon validation and software bring-up.

Work as part of the global Veloce expert team and collaborate directly with customers, application engineers, sales, and R&D to deliver and improve prototyping solutions.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Typical experience guidance from the posting: Master's degree with 5+ years relevant experience, or Bachelor's degree with 8+ years relevant experience.

Responsibilities

The role combines customer-facing technical support, hands-on lab work, and cross-functional product feedback.

• Integrate, configure, and debug interface solutions on the proFPGA CS prototyping platform in support of Application Engineers and customers.
• Enable and troubleshoot PCIe, Ethernet, flash, and other extension boards connected to Xilinx VP1902 FPGAs.
• Configure and debug Xilinx IP and use the Xilinx Integrated Logic Analyzer (ILA) for validation and debugging.
• Provide hands-on technical expertise to drive adoption of prototyping technologies and deliver technical presentations, demos, and training.
• Collaborate with sales, R&D, and product marketing to relay customer requirements and identify product improvements and business opportunities.
• Manage complex technical projects independently and build peer-level relationships with customer engineering teams.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and practical experience required for day-to-day success. Degree details are listed under Education Requirements.
