About the role

We are looking for a Principal FPGA Engineer to join our hardware team.
You will write and deploy code to FPGAs that are central to our chip development and verification workflow.
This is a fully onsite role based in Boston.

Design, implement, and test FPGA-based systems that support our chip verification and prototype development pipeline.
Work closely with ASIC engineers to build test benches to test ASICs and to bring up and test prototypes of our computing systems..
Support the hardware team by performing FPGA trade studies and assessing the viability of proposed pin mappings on developmental circuit card assemblies
Support bring-up and test of new printed circuit boards and prototypes by writing and testing interfaces to peripherals such as ADCs, DACs, memory, etc.

RTL proficiency required - Verilog or VHDL.
Real industry FPGA experience - we want to see that you have deployed code to real hardware, not just completed academic coursework projects.
Undergraduate or Master's degree - a PhD is not required.
RTL proficiency required
Familiarity with major FPGA platforms

Familiarity with major FPGA platforms - Xilinx/AMD experience is preferred
Embedded systems experience is a plus - ADC/DAC interfaces, working with real-world signals.
Lattice or Intel/Altera is also fine.
