Verify implemented design in simulation and hardware. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to Integrate, debug, and support the product before and after launch. Write detailed design documentation, including specifications and verification protocols. Support the quality and regulatory processes. Required Skills and Experience Expertise in Verilog and SystemVerilog for both synthesis and verification, with a strong command of RTL design principles. Extensive experience in FPGA and front-end IC design, including architecture, implementation, and optimization. Deep understanding of FPGA architecture, covering design methodologies, timing analysis, verification strategies, and debugging techniques. Proficient in FPGA design tools such as Vivado, QuestaSim, and Chipscope, with hands-on experience optimizing workflows. Skilled in scripting languages like Python, Tcl, Perl, or Shell for automation and design flow enhancement. Experienced with version control systems such as Git and SVN, ensuring efficient collaboration and project management. Strong communication, presentation, and technical documentation skills, facilitating seamless collaboration across teams. Proficient in C/C++ and MATLAB, leveraging these languages for modeling, simulation, and system-level design. Required Education and Training BSc degree in Electrical Engineering or adjacent technical field with 15 years of experience, or Master's degree with 12 years of experience, or PhD degree with 8 years of experience.
