SoC FPGA prototyping

Overview

Develop, test and optimize emulation and FPGA models to enable pre-silicon validation and post-silicon software development for SoCs, building hardware/software collateral and improving usability of emulation and prototyping platforms.

What you'll do

• Develop emulation and FPGA models using synthesis, partitioning, and routing tools.
• Create, integrate, test, and debug hardware/software collateral for simulation, emulation, and FPGA platforms.
• Improve emulation and FPGA usability for presilicon verification, postsilicon validation, and software development.
• Debug RTL failures and support verification teams in optimizing test suites and methodologies for emulation efficiency.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support IP and SoC bring-up activities.
• Innovate and apply automation flows, scripts, and tools to improve productivity and emulation utilization.
• Leverage hybrid emulation environments with virtual platforms and FPGA models to enhance testing capabilities.

What you'll need

• High signal-level debugging expertise in complex designs within simulation and lab environments.
• Willingness to work across geos (remotely), sometimes in inconvenient time zone differences (mainly Israel).
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 7+ years of hands-on experience in domains such as FPGA prototyping, emulation, or RTL development; or a Master's degree with 6+ years of experience.
• Proficiency in Verilog/VHDL for FPGA design and development.
• Proven experience with FPGA tools such as Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, proFPGA CS VPS or equivalent tools.
• Extensive knowledge and experience with AI tools, skills, agents, MCPs on the usage level.
• Strong debugging skills using tools such as logic analyzers, Chipscope, or equivalent.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with industry-standard protocols like AXI, PCIe, or USB.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, TCL, or similar for automation.
• Experience with CPUs, GPUs, complex fabrics, or graphics chips.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to collaborate across technical domains.
