• Translate protocol and product requirements into RTL design and implementation.
• Develop and maintain RTL using Verilog and/or VHDL.
• Work with Intel/Altera and/or AMD/Xilinx FPGA tools and design flows.
• Perform functional simulation, synthesis, implementation, timing analysis, and FPGA debug.
• Work closely with hardware and software teams for FPGA integration and platform bring-up.
• Debug protocol, hardware, FPGA, and system-level issues.
• Participate in validation, performance optimization, and product qualification.
• Contribute to reusable and maintainable FPGA components and verification practices.
• Use AI/ML and AI-assisted engineering tools to improve productivity, RTL development, verification, debugging, documentation, and automation.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional and global engineering teams.

Essential

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field.
• 5+ years of FPGA design and development experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with RTL design using Verilog and/or VHDL.
• Good understanding of FPGA architecture, digital design, simulation, synthesis, and timing.
• Experience with FPGA development tools from Intel/Altera and/or AMD/Xilinx.
• Ability to debug FPGA designs and work with hardware/software integration.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
• Ability to quickly learn new protocols and technologies.

Preferred

• Strong knowledge of CXL and/or PCIe protocols.
• Experience with PCIe Gen5/Gen6/Gen7 or other high-speed interconnect technologies.
• Experience with protocol analyzers, exercisers, or validation platforms.
• Experience with FPGA-based high-speed test systems.
• Experience with hardware bring-up and lab debugging.
• Experience using AI/ML or GenAI tools to improve engineering productivity and automation.
