LEAD BEHAVIORAL MODELING ENGINEER – LATTICE SEMICONDUCTOR INDIA Location:
Hyderabad / Pune / Chennai (India)
JOB SUMMARY We are seeking a Lead Behavioral Modeling Engineer to join Lattice Semiconductor's FPGA Architecture & Design team. You will lead development of behavioral and architecture models for next-generation low-power FPGA fabrics, own power and timing characterization, and mentor a small modeling team. This is a technical leadership role focused on modeling methodology and design optimization—not traditional product RTL design or verification.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Develop and maintain behavioral models for FPGA fabric elements (CLBs, routing, interconnects, logic blocks) Own power and timing characterization across PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature) corners Build Python-based automation flows for rapid design exploration and PPA analysis Lead modeling methodology improvements and drive continuous optimization Collaborate with architecture, RTL, and circuit design teams to validate design intent Mentor and guide modeling engineers on best practices and technical excellence Correlate behavioral models against silicon measurements and real chip data Establish and communicate modeling standards and documentation
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (Master's preferred) 8+ years in behavioral/architecture modeling or FPGA/ASIC design 2+ years of technical leadership experience Proficiency in C++, SystemC,
and Python for model development Deep knowledge of FPGA fabric architecture (CLBs, LUTs, routing, interconnects) Strong understanding of power and timing characterization methodologies Excellent problem-solving and technical communication skills Ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive cooperative efforts
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS Master's degree (M.Tech, MS) in Electrical/Computer Engineering Prior experience at semiconductor companies Published papers or patents in FPGA modeling or architecture optimization Experience with ML-based power prediction or on-die sensor integration Test-chip bring-up and silicon validation experience
WHAT YOU WILL NOT BE DOING This role is NOT focused on: Verilog/VHDL/SystemVerilog code development for product design SystemVerilog testbench and formal verification Gate-level or post-layout simulation Traditional Design Verification (DV) Physical design (place & route, floorplanning)
If your background is primarily RTL design or DV, this may not be the right fit.
WHY LATTICE SEMICONDUCTOR? Lattice is the global leader in low-power FPGA solutions for edge AI, automotive, aerospace, and IoT. Your modeling work directly impacts next-generation FPGA architectures and time-to-market for innovative products.
We offer: Deep technical challenge and leadership opportunity Collaborative, innovation-driven culture High-impact products used globally Competitive compensation and benefits
