Design, develop, and verify FPGA logic using VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog for Microchip PolarFire SoCs, including programmable logic, DSP blocks, and high-speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, SERDES)
Create and optimize IP cores and custom peripherals/accelerators tailored to PolarFire's architecture
Integrate FPGA firmware with embedded processors (e.g., RISC-V cores) and collaborate with software teams to support Board Support Packages (BSPs) and Linux kernel drivers
Build RTL verification environments with testbenches using UVM methodologies for design correctness and coverage
Perform functional verification, simulation, regression testing, and coverage analysis (e.g., functional, code, assertion)
Conduct synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and debugging using tools like Libero SoC, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes
Implement radiation-tolerant and fault-tolerant designs for space-grade applications
Develop automated test benches and CI pipelines for verification, including hardware-in-the-loop testing
Contribute to system architecture, security, and real-time processing requirements
Participate in code reviews, documentation, and stay updated on FPGA technologies and open-source contributions.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
