We are looking for hardworking systems engineers who will craft FPGA prototypes of our next generation GPUs, SOCs, NICs, Switches on standard FPGA prototyping platforms. The Senior Systems Prototyping Engineer will join our Emulation team onsite in Santa Clara, CA. The role involves building FPGA prototypes, improving performance, bringing up designs on FPGA platforms, and supporting customers with prototype issues. Coordination with various teams is essential to accomplish tasks effectively.

  • Build FPGA prototypes by making RTL FPGA-friendly, partitioning the design and taking it through synthesis and place and route.
  • Improve performance of the prototype, analyze timing and generate bit streams.
  • Bring up the design on FPGA prototyping platforms and indulge in problem solving.
  • Release the prototype to the customers and support them when they face problems.
  • Understand the design and implementation, define the configurations, develop/modify the bringup and testing infrastructure and verify the correctness of the design.
  • Understand the system topologies with multiple ASICs to realize the DGX systems on prototyping platforms and emulators.
  • Coordinate with architects, designers, verification engineers, and SW teams.
  • BS (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields with 7+ years of experience, or MS with 5+ years of proven experience in FPGA prototyping.
  • Good understanding of FPGA prototyping architecture, devices, flows and tools.
  • Experience in backend flows of FPGA Prototyping - Synthesis, P&R and Timing closure, with emphasis on Synopsys Protocompiler or Synplify Premier and Xilinx Vivado.
  • Exposure to ASIC design and verification tools (VCS or equivalent, Verdi, GDB).
  • Knowledge of Verilog, System Verilog and digital design concepts.
  • Understand the industry standard protocols like PCIe, CXL, NVLINK, USB, CHI and CPU-GPU Coherency.
  • Good debugging and problem-solving skills.
  • Hands on experience with lab FPGA debug methodologies, tools (Identify or ChipScope), and lab debug equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).
  • Scripting knowledge (Perl/shell/Tcl) is desired.
  • Good documentation, communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Experience with memory bring up of Memory (LPDDR5/6, DDR5/6), CXL/PCIE and/or high speed I/F such as USB4/3 is desirable.
  • Prior experience with hardware emulation or prototyping (Synopsys HAPS, Zebu, Mentor Veloce) of a high-performance processor or SOC is a plus.
  • Equity and benefits.
