Senior Engineer I-Design • FPGA Applications

Overview

Senior Engineer I (Embedded Firmware) in Corporate Applications Engineering, Microchip FPGA Products Group, supporting firmware and hardware for FPGA-based custom embedded processing systems (FPGA SoC) used in Microchip and customer products.

What you'll do

• Design, develop and provide customer support for embedded software on new FPGA-based electronic products, ranging from simple ARM microcontroller-based solutions to highly complex RISC-V based multicore embedded processing systems.
• Work with hardware designers, application engineers and firmware developers to support worldwide customers in designing in Microchip FPGA and FPGA-SoC devices.
• Collaborate with customers and FAEs to evaluate possible alternatives during design and development and determine the best approach based on performance, cost and resources.
• Participate in board bring-up and out-of-the-box experience of new FPGA SoC with embedded processor hardware, with support from hardware designers and other engineering teams.
• Document ideas, designs, specifications and instructions to Microchip's standards.
• Mentor junior members of the technical support engineering staff to promote a 'Customer First' culture and establish good work practices.

What you'll need

• BE/B.Tech or ME/M.Tech with 4-6 years of experience.
• Demonstrated skill in developing original designs with Assembly/C/C++ in embedded environments, including bare-metal, multi-threaded RTOS and embedded operating systems.
• Specific experience with common microcontroller and/or embedded processing platforms such as RISC-V, ARM and PIC.
• Strong understanding of embedded software design and architectural concepts, and of the integration between firmware and hardware.
• Strong understanding of software development tools and methodologies used in embedded systems.
• Familiarity with source control via established systems such as Git.
• Demonstrated skill in independently using electronics lab equipment to develop/troubleshoot low-level drivers and hardware integration for interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, USB, etc.
• Ability to work with minimum supervision and follow established design procedures during the development cycle, documenting the design to Microchip's standards.
• Good interpersonal skills and the ability to work across multiple departments.
