As a Sr. SoC Prototyping Engineer, you will be part of a pre-silicon platform team responsible for delivering prototypes of custom SoCs for use in early SW development. In this role, you will be responsible for architecting, building and debugging a prototyping environment for custom SoCs using Synopsys HAPS. You will lead the design, build, bring-up and delivery of these prototypes by preparing SoC RTL for prototyping, deciding on external lab equipment / daughtercards, completing partitioning / timing closure and performing bring-up and debug activities.You will work closely with multi-disciplinary groups including Product Design, Audio Technology, Computer Vision, Hardware Engineering, and Software Engineering, to define solutions that enable development of world-class hardware devices.
Key job responsibilities
- Deliver SoC level prototyping platforms, using Synopsys HAPS, for software teams
- Prepare SoC RTL & constraints for prototyping
- Work with SW teams to architect a SoC prototyping solution
- Perform partitioning, clock network design and timing closure of the SoC design using the Synopsys HAPS toolchain
- Write bring-up tests and debug to validate the platform- Manage HAPS lab and equipment including purchasing

- BSEE, BSCS, or similar degree
- 7+ years of experience mapping complex SOC design into multi-FPGA prototyping platforms., e.g. Veloce, HAPS, Protium or other FPGA systems
- Strong FPGA model development expertise across all aspects of FPGA development cycle - Front-end, Back-end using FPGA tool flows like Synopsys Protocompiler, Xilinx Vivado
- Understanding of emulation/prototype/Silicon verification, test plan development and execution
