The role leads system-architecture discussions, drives design wins, and supports customers from design-in through post-production.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 5–7+ years of relevant FPGA-based design or applications experience.

Responsibilities

Support sales and customers through technical leadership across FPGA-based system design and deployment.

• Provide pre-sales and post-sales technical support for Microchip FPGA solutions and companion ICs.
• Lead system-architecture discussions, design reviews, and board-level schematic reviews.
• Guide customers on programmable-logic design phases: requirements analysis, HDL development, synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and debug.
• Support embedded CPU integration (soft-core or ASIC-based) and system bring-up.
• Deliver product training, technical overviews, seminars, and workshops for clients and internal teams.
• Collaborate with global teams to develop account strategies and convert design wins to revenue.
• Provide feedback to product divisions based on customer engagements and ROI observations.
• Manage multiple customer engagements and resolve system-level issues with strong debugging.

Requirements

Must-have:

• 5–7+ years of FPGA design or applications experience (industry experience with customer-facing support preferred).
• In-depth experience with Microchip/Microsemi, Xilinx, or Altera FPGA devices and strong Verilog or VHDL skills.
• Hands-on with Libero, Vivado, or Quartus and common synthesis/simulation EDA tools.
• Experience with high-speed interfaces and transceivers (PCIe, DDR3/4, LPDDR, MIPI) and timing closure techniques.
• Embedded processor experience (RISC-V or ARM), C programming, and working knowledge of Linux and software debug tools.
• Strong debugging, communication, presentation, and customer-management skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience building/customizing Linux images and using Keil, IAR, or Eclipse toolchains.
• Familiarity with hardware security concepts (secure boot, encryption, key management, PUFs) and HSM-based key provisioning.
• Prior experience supporting strategic or enterprise accounts and delivering technical workshops.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in an engineering discipline (examples: Electrical & Electronics, Electronics & Communication, Electronics & Instrumentation, Telecommunication Engineering, VLSI) with a strong academic record.
