Principal FPGA Emulation Engineer
Core
Build and own FPGA-based platforms to emulate mixed-signal power ASICs before silicon, validating real-time digital, mixed-signal, and power-control architectures.
Role type
Principal FPGA Emulation Engineer
Builds
Pre-silicon emulation vehicles for mixed-signal power ASICs
Domain
Semiconductor / Power Electronics / FPGA Emulation
Required skills
FPGA design and implementation, SystemVerilog/VHDL, ASIC RTL adaptation, FPGA resource mapping, implementation flow (synthesis/P&R/timing), hardware bring-up/debug, scripting (TCL/Python), technical leadership
Preferred skills
Hardware-in-the-loop emulation, digital power-conversion control, FPGA DSP implementation, commercial prototyping platforms (Synopsys HAPS/Cadence Protium/Siemens Veloce), Model-based design (Simulink/System Generator), high-speed interfaces, custom board architecture
Technologies
Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, SystemVerilog, VHDL, TCL, Python, Synopsys HAPS, Cadence Protium, Siemens Veloce, Simulink, Xilinx System Generator
Responsibilities
Partner with silicon architects to bring ASIC designs onto FPGA, adapt RTL for emulation (clock-gating, memory mapping, reset schemes), map designs to FPGA fabric for real-time performance, build real-time environment with analog/power stage models, develop pre-silicon debug and visibility tools, define and improve emulation methodology and automation, provide technical leadership and mentorship
Seniority
Principal, hands-on IC with technical leadership
