Job Description:

The staff FPGA/SoC integration engineer will be responsible for integrating all custom and external IP’s into the FPGA top. This high visibility role involves ownership of chip top RTL, place/route and timing closure and other deliverables needed to release the FPGA for production.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Develop flows and methodologies that improves on current methodology  to integrate complex IP’s into FPGA chip-top using digital-on-top (DoT) approach.
• Develop tools and scripts (RTL and custom scripts) to verify connectivity and functionality of chip-top.
• Own chip level floorplan activities, place and route, timing closure, and physical and electrical verification.
• Coordinate activities between different groups like architecture, design, software and verification to ensure smooth integration of various IP’s into the chip top.
• Generate netlists with different views for software, physical, electrical and functional verification.
• Collaborate with the packaging team to generate package files for several different members of the FPGA product family.
• Work with verification team to help debug chip top level integration issues related to timing and functionality.
• Effectively presenting technical information to small teams of engineers.
• Communicate regularly with the management, design and verification teams in multiple locations to resolve issues, update status and solve technical problems related to chip/SoC integration and delivery.
• Become well-versed in new ASIC and custom tools related to chip integration.

Requirements/Qualifications:
