Key Responsibilities

As a Subject Matter Expert (SME), engage with tier 1 customers and field teams to assist with pre- and post-sales support on design/debug of FPGA/SoC designs.

Provide advanced-level consulting and technical support (remotely and on-site) to tier 1 customers through product demonstrations, design examples and reference designs, advanced FPGA/SoC design and timing-closure techniques, and debugging hardware bring-up issues.

Demonstrate expertise across phases of FPGA/SoC design, including requirements analysis, HDL code development and simulation, embedded processor system design, synthesis optimizations, place-and-route and timing constraints, timing closure, board-level schematic reviews, and FPGA hardware development and debug tools.

Lead or participate in cross-functional teams across the BU; present proposals and gain buy-in to improve existing solutions or develop new ones for future products.

Participate in functional block reviews, product characterization and rollout, and facilitate tools' ease-of-use discussions with senior Engineering and Marketing experts in the BU.

Train field and technical support engineers on new Microchip FPGA/SoC products and tools.

Drive early adoption and evaluation of advanced debugging and software flows, IP cores, and kits within the team.

Create customer-facing collateral, including application notes, reference designs, and white papers on advanced interfaces and solutions for Microchip FPGA/SoC products.

Qualifications and Experience

8+ years of relevant industry experience with FPGA-based architecture definition, design, and support, including Embedded Processor and High-Speed Serial IO.

5+ years of experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and signal analyzers.

Advanced level domain expertise in FPGA/SoC design and debugging (e.g., DDR memory interfaces and protocols, timing closure techniques, FPGA synthesis and simulation, Embedded Cortex or RISC-V processors, Serdes and high-speed serial interfaces).

Experience with FPGA devices and ecosystems from at least one major FPGA supplier (Microchip or Xilinx or Altera).

Embedded processor experience with knowledge of C, development on Linux, and software debugging tools (Keil, IAR, or Eclipse).

Experience with Libero, Vivado, or Quartus; and EDA tools for FPGA design.

Board-level experience including power supply decoupling, high-speed signal termination and routing.

System-level debugging with ability to identify root causes of issues for clients.

Expert level experience with VHDL/Verilog and C.

Excellent communication and problem-solving skills; ability to drive issues to closure independently.

Hard-working, able to handle stress and multi-task in a dynamic, customer-centric environment.

Self-starter and strong team player.

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering/Science.
