Required Skills, Experience, and Education:

3-5 years of experience in embedded firmware development, with 3+ years in FPGA design and verification. Proficiency in VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog for RTL design and FPGA development. Hands-on experience with RTL verification, testbenches, and UVM methodologies. Familiarity with FPGA design flows, including simulation (e.g., ModelSim), synthesis, and Libero SoC tools. Knowledge of digital design principles (e.g., clock domains, pipelining, AXI/Avalon protocols) and verification concepts like constrained-random testing. Experience with real-time systems and FPGA integration with Linux/RTOS. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

Key Duties:

Design, develop, and verify FPGA logic using VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog for Microchip PolarFire SoCs, including programmable logic, DSP blocks, and high-speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, SERDES). Create and optimize IP cores and custom peripherals/accelerators tailored to PolarFire's architecture. Integrate FPGA firmware with embedded processors (e.g., RISC-V cores) and collaborate with software teams to support Board Support Packages (BSPs) and Linux kernel drivers. Build RTL verification environments with testbenches using UVM methodologies for design correctness and coverage.
