Job Summary
We are seeking a skilled and motivated FPGA Prototyping/Emulation Engineer to join our hardware design team. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in FPGA-based prototyping and emulation of complex SoC designs, and will work closely with RTL designers, verification engineers, and software teams to enable early software development and system validation.

Key Responsibilities
Develop and maintain FPGA-based prototyping platforms for pre-silicon validation.
Integrate and debug RTL blocks on FPGA platforms (e.g., Xilinx, Intel/Altera).
Collaborate with design and verification teams to bring up emulation environments.
Optimize FPGA resource usage and timing closure for large-scale designs.




Support software teams with early access to hardware through emulation/prototyping.
Automate build and deployment flows using scripting languages (Python, Tcl, Shell).
Document design flows, debug procedures, and provide training/support to internal teams.

Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
5–6 years of hands-on experience in FPGA prototyping or emulation.
Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals and RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog).
Experience with FPGA tools such as Vivado, Quartus, Synplify, or similar.
Familiarity with emulation platforms like Palladium, Veloce, or Zebu is a plus.
Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, Tcl).
Valuable problem-solving and debugging skills.
Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
