Requires a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering or equivalent experience
Knowledge of FPGA development for High Gate Count FPGAs required
Experience of VHDL, Verilog, IP core integration and Matlab Simulink
Familiar with and practices Agile and continuous integration concept, like how to use Jenkins automation
Hands-on laboratory experience and familiarity with electronic test equipment required
Basic office skills, like interacting with corporate ERP systems, outlook and office suite
Ability to work in a team environment is required

Responsibilities

Design, develop, troubleshoot and debug FPGA logic controlling the power supplies delivering advanced control to plasma in semiconductor manufacturing processes.
Create, update, and maintain test benches for various FPGA systems and subsystems to validate the behaviors against specifications and real-world applications.
Develop simulations and test bench models to prototype proof-of-concepts of new advanced algorithm before implementations.
Analyze and refactor FPGA designs to meet timing and resources utilization constraints for future growth in the system-level architecture.
Understand PCB schematics to aid the FPGA development.
Collaborate with embedded developers to implement complex system-level architecture, like high-speed high-payload, data transfers across FPGAs, processors, memories, storage devices and external devices through high-speed data transfer protocols.
Collaborate and support other functional teams, like system, reliability, manufacturing, field application engineers to troubleshoot, guide, support and test our products.
Produces maintainable design documents providing technical information about designs to facilitate rapid future development.
Follows the SW development process to work collaboratively to design, prototype, implement, test, validate, review, debug embedded system architectures with team members.
Consume and creates engineering requirement specification to fulfill customer needs in accordance with business strategies.
