SoC FPGA engineers
Job Description:
• This position should perform Pre-silicon (FPGA) implementation of the ARM based SoC chips for mobile devices
• Support FPGA user design, testing and troubleshooting
• Engage FPGA prototyping domain technical skill improvement and engineering process improvement
Responsibilities:
• Define FPGA prototyping methodology and strategy
• Draft FPGA design spec and development plan
• Keep tracing and improving FPGA validation technology, methodology, flow and define/improve the engineering processes
• Develop FPGA DV and sanity check test case
• Implement FPGA integration based on FPGA prototyping strategy
• Experience in Logic design with high-level description language like VHDL/Verilog. It will be an added advantage if the code were written to be FPGA friendly.
• Understand the custom requirements of a Complex ARM based FPGA design which includes: ARM boot-up requirement, complex clock tree scheme, RAM/ROM inferring, and some basic analog blocks/interface like PLL. Experience with Radio RF will have an added advantage.
• Ability to translate ASIC design into FPGA by translating clocks, RAM/ROM and other essential analog block to equivalent FPGA device components and requirements
• Familiar with Synthesis with Synplify with clear understanding the interface/timing constraints, and ability to clean all timing issues before P&R phase.
• Familiar with FPGA tool to ensure bit file generation fits the size, performance and I/O of the design.
• Understand FPGA board requirements and co-design with HW team
• Responsibility to verify the netlist so that it will be fully functional when downloaded on FPGA board.
Requirements:
• Candidates must have at least 4-6 years of relevant experience.
• Master’s/Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering with an emphasis in IC design
• Must be familiar with Xilinx and Altera devices and their tools
• Must be familiar with Synplify synthesis tool
• Must be able to understand and debug FPGA boards.
• Must understand tcl/shell scripts to construct or modify constraints files.
• Knowledge about complete life cycle of IC and FPGA development.
• Knowledgeable in digital High Speed GHz frequency design and RF Radio is an added advantage
• Knowledgeable of ARM based SoC design is an advantage
• Good written and communication skills
• Experience in WLAN, BlueTooth, GPS, NFC, FM or Modem (LTE, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA) SoC/IP design is preferred.
• Experience with muli-site/multi-team/multicultural cooperation is preferred |
