About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Embedded Firmware Engineer with a strong focus on FPGA Development. The role involves designing, developing, and verifying FPGA logic for Microchip PolarFire SoCs. You will create and optimize IP cores, integrate FPGA firmware with embedded processors, and build robust verification environments. This position requires a deep understanding of digital design principles and real-time systems, with close collaboration with software teams.

Requirements

• 3-5 years of experience in embedded firmware development
• 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

Responsibilities

• 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.
