Required Skills, Experience, and Education:
- 3-5 years of experience in embedded firmware development, with 3+ years in FPGA design and verification.
- Proficiency in VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog for RTL design and FPGA development.
- Hands-on experience with RTL verification, testbenches, and UVM methodologies.
- Familiarity with FPGA design flows, including simulation (e.g., ModelSim), synthesis, and Libero SoC tools.
- Knowledge of digital design principles (e.g., clock domains, pipelining, AXI/Avalon protocols) and verification concepts like constrained-random testing.
- Experience with real-time systems and FPGA integration with Linux/RTOS.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
Key Duties:
- Design, develop, and verify FPGA logic using VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog for Microchip PolarFire SoCs, including programmable logic, DSP blocks, and high-speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, SERDES).
- Create and optimize IP cores and custom peripherals/accelerators tailored to PolarFire's architecture.
- Integrate FPGA firmware with embedded processors (e.g., RISC-V cores) and collaborate with software teams to support Board Support Packages (BSPs) and Linux kernel drivers.
- Build RTL verification environments with testbenches using UVM methodologies for design correctness and coverage.
