- Drive FPGA projects through the complete product development lifecycle from architecture to production
- Design, implement, and optimize DSP algorithms on FPGA platforms
- Perform hands-on lab work including hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation
- Collaborate with ASIC design teams to support RTL development and verification
- Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership on FPGA best practices
- Work with cross-functional teams including system architects, software engineers, and hardware engineers
Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
