Principal FPGA/Prototype Design Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Principal FPGA/Prototype Design Engineer

Description

Work with the Design Validation team to ensure ASIC designs are fully validated. Partner with design, verification, and software teams to accelerate software development, enable early hardware integration, and support post-silicon bring up.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain ASIC-to-FPGA retargeting flows, including resource constraints, clock rate reductions, and memory retargeting.
• Deliver FPGA prototype platforms across multiple design configurations, top levels, and release qualification.
• Qualify commercial emulation platforms for release and assess test case compatibility and coverage partitioning versus simulation.
• Reproduce and debug prototype and emulation failures with design and verification teams through resolution.
• Build portable platform environments spanning block and top level, RTL and gate, and pre-silicon and silicon.
• Support post-silicon bring up using shared pre-silicon bench and simulation platforms.
• Accelerate software development and early hardware integration through prototype releases and documented feature limitations.
• Support internal platform users through triage, documentation, and direct technical assistance.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical discipline.
• 10+ years of experience in FPGA prototyping, emulation, or digital design verification.
• Experience with FPGA implementation tools and flows, including synthesis, constraints, and timing closure.
• Experience developing and debugging production RTL in SystemVerilog or Verilog authored by others.
• Experience defining FPGA prototype or emulation flows, including build automation and release management.

Benefits

Join a safety-focused, collaborative, and inclusive culture contributing to reusable, safe, and low-cost space systems.
