Introduction:

We are seeking highly skilled FPGA and emulation engineer/lead to join our team and help us build FPGA designs for our CPUs (64-bit and 32-bit) and SOCs. This is very important role given FPGAs play key role in our validation as well in our shift left software development approach.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute across the full silicon-to-software lifecycle combining software engineering with post-silicon validation to ensure high-quality safety-critical SoC solutions.

Heres what you can expect from us:

At MIPS youll be a member of a fast-growing team of technologists that are creating the industrys highest performance RISC-V processors. Small teams that are part of a non-compartmentalized structure youll be able to understand and have an impact on the bigger picture. A great deal of autonomy with support from some of the industrys most experienced CPU engineers. An unlimited growth path with the right skills you can decide where you want to expand and grow in your role at MIPS. The opportunity to learn a great deal about the blossoming RISC-V architecture in cutting edge applications with industry leading customers.

What Youll Do:

Design build and develop innovative FPGA and emulation platform solutions for both single and multi-core clusters integrating additional custom and 3rd party system IP as needed.
Perform pre-silicon CPU and system validation using FPGA and HW emulation platforms to ensure functional correctness and performance targets.
Analyse system performance on FPGA platforms and optimize for area and speed leveraging available FPGA resources effectively.
Create tailored FPGA prototyping platforms based on customer specifications and evolving project requirements.
Collaborate closely with customer teams to enable rapid prototyping of their SoCs supporting both hardware evaluation and software development needs
Develop document and execute comprehensive pre-silicon validation test plans including corner cases and integration scenarios.
Integrate verify and bring up daughter boards custom IP and peripheral modules in real-time device environments.
Provide technical support and troubleshooting for FPGA systems in both customer-facing and internal R&D contexts.

Ideally youll have:

10 years of hands-on experience with leading FPGA Platforms like proFPGA VPS and Veloce.
Solid understanding of FPGA architecture system-level design and prototyping flow from RTL to implementation.
Good understanding of Verification and Validation fundamentals.
Hands-on experience with integrating and bringing up daughter cards custom IP blocks and peripherals at the board/system level.
Familiarity with SoC boot flows and platform initialization (for ARM or RISCV-based architectures).
Working knowledge of MIPS ARM or RISC-V based IP subsystems and their integration within FPGA platforms.
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in both Windows and Linux environments.
Proficient in scripting languages (such as Python Bash TCL) to automate design build and validation flows.
Experience with industry-standard digital design tools (e.g. Vivado)

You might also have:

Experience working on CPUs or other high complexity pipelined digital logic products.
Familiarity with different Instruction Set Architectures (e.g. RISC-V ARM64 x8664) and understanding of coherency protocols for multi-core clusters.
Background in hardware-software co-design and early software bring-up.
Experience working with CI/CD and agile tools (Jenkins Git Jira).
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with a strong customer-oriented mindset.
