Job Overview:

The ideal candidate is a senior technical expert who architects and delivers advanced FPGA-based real-time media and high-performance processing systems. You bring deep knowledge of FPGA architectures, high-bandwidth data paths, and complex system integration. You drive technical direction, solve high-complexity problems, and elevate engineering excellence across the entire FPGA development lifecycle. You collaborate closely with software, hardware, and verification teams to ensure world-class system performance, reliability, and product innovation.

Who You Report To:

Senior Director, Technical Product Management, Production Switchers

What The Job Is All About:

Architecture & Technical Strategy

• Architect high-performance FPGA solutions for real-time processing, including data-path design, clocking/reset architecture, memory hierarchy, and high-speed interfaces.
• Define and maintain high-level FPGA design requirements and specifications.
• Perform detailed analysis and trade-off evaluations for device selection, resource usage, timing feasibility, and performance scaling.
• Establish best practices for FPGA development methodology, coding standards, and verification processes.
  
  

Design & Implementation

• Develop advanced RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog for high-bandwidth pipelines, hardware accelerators, timing-sensitive logic, and complex interconnect subsystems.
• Implement SoC-class FPGA architectures including AXI/Avalon interconnects, DMA engines, high-speed memory controllers, and multi-rate clocking architectures.
• Integrate high-speed serial interfaces and IP cores such as PCIe, Ethernet, high-speed transceivers, and video/audio transport interfaces.
• Drive timing closure and physical implementation including synthesis, floorplanning, constraint development, and place-and-route optimization.
• Develop IO ring configurations and pin-planning for Xilinx and Intel devices.
  
  

Verification, Integration & Debug

• Lead verification strategy using simulation, UVM-based environments, constrained-random testing, and coverage-driven methodologies.
• Perform FPGA bring-up, system integration, and in-lab debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and embedded logic analysis tools.
• Debug complex real-time behavior such as synchronization, multi-rate timing, dataflow bottlenecks, and high-throughput processing.
• Collaborate with software and hardware teams to ensure full system performance and feature correctness.
  
  

Technical Leadership

• Lead design reviews, technical investigations, and risk assessments.
• Mentor FPGA developers, supporting growth in architecture, RTL design, verification, and implementation.
• Promote continuous improvement through automation, reproducible build flows, enhanced verification depth, and robust release processes.
• Provide expert guidance to cross-functional teams on FPGA capabilities, constraints, and implementation best practices.
  
  

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with software, hardware, verification, test, and manufacturing teams across all stages of development.
• Support NPI processes including design documentation, integration support, test development, and release readiness.
• Interact with internal stakeholders and external partners for technical coordination and feature integration.
  
  

Who You Are:

A senior-level FPGA architect and developer with broad technical mastery, strong analytical skills, and a proven ability to deliver complex FPGA systems at scale.

Core FPGA Expertise

• Expert in Verilog / SystemVerilog RTL design.
• Deep knowledge of reset and clock domain management, flow control, arbitration, high-bandwidth pipelines, timing closure, constraints, and hierarchical FPGA-based SoC architectures.
