Job Description:
This position is in the Advanced Development team of Microchip's FPGA Division. Microchip is a major supplier of low-power and highly reliable field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), a type of programmable logic chip. Our FPGAs are used in a wide variety of applications, including embedded vision; digital signal processing; machine learning; industrial and medical equipment; and satellites. Microchip is also a pioneer in embedding RiscV processors in FPGAs.The successful applicant will work as part of a core team that develops future FPGA fabric architectures and collaborates with design engineering to develop, verify, and integrate the fabric architecture with other device components such as IO, hard IP blocks, configuration, and security. Responsibilities will include a mixture of the following to suit your interests and skills:
Develop FPGA fabric architectures that support a range of applications across communications, industrial, and aerospace
Propose and evaluate logic and routing for future FPGA architectures, and help drive speed, power, and cost targets
Required experience in full custom design and/or layout experience on advanced process nodes (preferably FinFET)
Experience in non-FPGA technology areas would be acceptable, for example memory cell design, stdcell library element design & implementation, analog circuit custom design, IO custom design
Develop example FPGA application benchmarks, either by coding them in RTL, using state-of-the-art high-level synthesis tools, or developing algorithms to generate them automatically
Develop other software tools to support our efforts, applying graph algorithms, statistical modeling, and combinatorial optimization
Analyze and share your data with various groups within the company, including Software Engineering, Circuit Design, Marketing and Applications Engineers. This broad organizational exposure will provide an unusual opportunity for learning and advancement
This senior role will have influence over future product architectures at the circuit level and so experience in the FPGA industry is a desirable pre-requisite.Demonstration of analysis and design implementation in adjacent disciplines such as ASIC design may also be acceptable.
Requirements/Qualifications:
Masters/PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Math, Statistics or Physics.
At least 12.5 years' relevant research or work experience in programmable architectures, applications implementation, or other relevant experience with a MS or 10.5 years' relevant research or work experience with a PhD.
Experience in circuit design, parasitic extraction & analysis, simulation, DSM design analysis, EM/IR analysis
Experience with Cadence / Virtuoso design tools & flows
Familiarity with at least one of these areas: digital logic design; data structures and algorithms; linear algebra; processor architecture; compiler tools (e.g., LLVM)
Perl/Python Scripting, C/C++ programming advantageous
Outstanding oral and written communication... For full info follow application link.
