What is an FPGA firmware engineer?

An FPGA Firmware Engineer is a professional who designs, develops, and tests firmware for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). These engineers use hardware description languages like VHDL or Verilog to program the FPGA's logic circuits for specific functions or applications. Their work often involves collaborating with hardware and software teams to ensure seamless integration of the FPGA with other system components. They also perform simulation, debugging, and optimization to ensure the firmware meets performance and reliability requirements.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an FPGA firmware engineer?

To thrive as an FPGA Firmware Engineer, you need a solid background in digital design, VHDL/Verilog programming, and a relevant degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with FPGA development tools such as Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus, along with experience in simulation and debugging tools, is typically required. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective problem-solving abilities are standout soft skills. These competencies ensure robust, high-performance firmware solutions that meet project requirements and industry standards.

What are some common challenges faced by FPGA firmware engineers when collaborating with hardware and software teams?

FPGA Firmware Engineers often work at the intersection of hardware and software, which can present unique challenges. Coordinating design requirements and ensuring compatibility between firmware, hardware schematics, and software drivers requires clear communication and thorough documentation. Debugging issues can be complex, as problems may stem from any layer of the system. Successful engineers proactively engage with cross-functional teams, participate in regular design reviews, and use simulation tools to identify and resolve integration issues early.

Job description

The Role

We are seeking a Senior FPGA & Silicon Bring-up Engineer to accelerate the development of next-generation communications ASICs. You will own FPGA prototyping, firmware enablement, first-silicon bring-up, and hardware validation, serving as the bridge between ASIC design, firmware, software, and system integration. This role spans the entire silicon lifecycle from pre-silicon FPGA platforms that enable early hardware/software integration to post-silicon debug, interface validation, and automated test infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Develop FPGA-based prototypes to enable early ASIC integration, firmware development, and system validation.
  • Build hardware platforms that allow software and firmware teams to develop before first silicon.
  • Support first-silicon bring-up, debug, and functional validation.
  • Develop automated validation infrastructure for silicon characterization and regression testing.
  • Configure and validate digital interfaces including high-speed Ethernet SerDes, SPI, UART, GPIO, and other peripheral interfaces.
  • Develop FPGA-based traffic generators, protocol checkers, and test applications for interface validation.
  • Debug issues spanning RTL, firmware, software, FPGA prototypes, and silicon using simulation and laboratory instrumentation.
  • Collaborate closely with ASIC Design, Verification, Firmware, Software, Systems, and DFT teams to accelerate product development.

Qualifications

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • 5+ years of FPGA development experience using Verilog/SystemVerilog and AMD/Xilinx FPGA tools.
  • Strong understanding of ASIC development and digital system architecture.
  • Experience with FPGA prototyping for ASIC development.
  • Experience with firmware/software enablement and hardware bring-up.
  • Strong hardware debugging skills using JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers.
  • Proficiency with Python and scripting for automation and test infrastructure.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with networking, communications, or satellite systems.
  • Experience with embedded processors (ARM or RISC-V).
  • Experience working with hard real-time embedded systems (bare-metal or RTOS).
  • Experience validating high-speed digital interfaces, including Ethernet and SerDes protocols, SPI, and UART.
  • Experience with silicon bring-up using JTAG, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes.

Compensation and Benefits:

  • Base salary range for this role is $120,000 - $225,000 + equity in the company
  • Salary will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level
  • Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision/ coverage, life insurance, paid parental leave, and many other perks
