About the role

  • We are looking for a Senior 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.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Requirements

  • 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.
