We are seeking a Principal/Staff-level FPGA Engineer and technical authority to own the end-to-end FPGA architecture for our next-generation Communications Test & Measurement products.

In this role, you will drive critical architectural decisions—from make/buy IP tradeoffs to floorplanning and timing closure strategies for multi-gigabit designs. As the final technical escalation point, you will mentor engineers, lead complex debug efforts, and guide products from architecture all the way through volume production.

Key Responsibilities

- Architectural Ownership: Define and drive end-to-end FPGA architecture, including DFX approaches and IP evaluation.
- High-Speed Design & Timing: Own floorplanning, multi-gigabit transceiver integration, and advanced timing closure strategies for complex designs.
- Technical Leadership & Escalation: Serve as the ultimate technical authority for FPGA design, acting as the primary escalation point for team debug issues.
- Bring-Up & Root Cause Analysis: Lead hands-on root-cause debug for silicon, board bring-up, and link-layer issues across high-speed protocols.
- Mentorship: Elevate the engineering team by mentoring peers and communicating high-level architecture decisions to integral stakeholders.

What You’ll Bring (Mandatory Requirements)

- Education & Experience:



BS or MS in Electrical/Computer Engineering with 12–15+ years of relevant experience, including 5+ years specifically architecting and closing timing on multi-Gbps Ser Des/transceiver-based designs.
- HDL Mastery: Demonstrated expertise implementing high-speed designs using Verilog, System Verilog, and/or VHDL.
- Transceiver Expertise: Deep, hands-on experience with FPGA transceivers, hard IP, PLLs, equalization, and multi-Gbps link debug.
- Networking & Protocols: Proven experience with high-speed Ethernet (10M to 1.6T), IP protocol stacks, optical interfaces (SFPs, QSFPs), VLANs, MPLS, VPLS, and VoIP/IPTV.
- Toolchain & Device Mastery: Extensive production experience with AMD or Altera devices and their full implementation toolchains (advanced floorplanning and timing closure).
- Advanced Verification: Proven background in formal verification and/or UVM-based verification methodologies.
- Product Lifecycle: Track record of taking complex FPGA designs from architecture through volume production, including HW/FW boundary tradeoffs.
- Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with a proven ability to mentor and lead globally distributed teams.
