USA - California - Mountain View/Sunnyvale

Job Description and Requirements

Responsibilities:

• Architect, Implement and integrate high speed interface IP with required interface PHY device on circuit board to Synopsys FPGA based prototyping hardware platform from system level including hardware, FPGA IP, software, and user application
• Define methodology, bring up, debug, and validate interface IP FPGA prototyping implementation and application using simulation and hardware test.
• Define software application and driver requirements, Build required OS environment and boot process in embedded processor and desktop computer/server, implement SW drivers and application software for high-speed interface IPs running in FPGA based prototyping platform on x86, Arm, RISC-V, and Arc processors under Linux, Windows OS, or BareMetal.
• Document design specification and application note along with example designs.
• Work with product engineers and field application engineers to guide customer implementation and help resolving customer issues.
• Collaborate with other teams including cross BU.

• Extensive hands-on experience in design and validation of FPGA IP and hardware for FPGA prototyping. Experience with applications related to the following and other interface technologies is a plus.
  • video interface technologies such as MIPI, DisplayPort, and HDMI
  • interconnect technologies including chip-to-chip, PCIe/CXL, USB, and Ethernet
  • memory technologies such as HBM, DDR, LPDDR, GDDR, flash, etc.
• Extensive hands-on experience in device driver and application software implementation for embedded processor and desktop/server computers, preferably interacting with FPGA IP and hardware for FPGA prototyping.
• Experience in translating high level application requirements to solution architecture definition, implementation requirements, and validation plan including required FPGA IP, hardware board, and software/firmware.
• Extensive experience in validating implementation against design requirements for both functionality and performance. Debug skill and experience in defining design validation methodology and troubleshooting bring-up and customer usage issues.
• Proficiency in FPGA IP development including RTL coding, design debug, functionality validation from simulation to hardware bring-up.
• Good understanding of board design challenges and able to work with board design engineers through entire implementation process until demonstrating a functional design on hardware. Hands-on experience in hardware board design is a plus.
• Good communication skill and team collaboration with both Synopsys internal and external teams. Experience and willingness to mentor Junior engineers
• Experienced user of FPGA development tools including Synopsys Synplify and ProtoCompiler, Xilinx Vivado and/or Intel/Altera FPGA tools
• Proficient in C/C++ coding for Linux kernel driver and application implementation for hardware initialization, configuration, data transfer including DMA and interrupt handling, etc.
• 10+ year working experience in FPGA prototyping and high-speed interface required.
• MS or PhD preferred.
