Senior FPGA Prototyping Engineer

NVIDIA is seeking a highly skilled Senior FPGA Prototyping Engineer to join our team. As a key member of our design team, you will be responsible for crafting FPGA prototypes of our next-generation GPUs and SOCs on standard FPGA prototyping platforms.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design and implement FPGA prototypes using RTL, partitioning the design and taking it through synthesis and place and route.
  • Improve performance of the prototype, analyze timing, and generate bit streams.
  • Bring up the design on FPGA prototyping platforms and troubleshoot issues.
  • Release the prototype to customers and provide support when needed.
  • Collaborate with architects, designers, verification engineers, and SW teams to ensure successful project execution.
Requirements:
  • BS (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields with 7+ years of experience, or MS with 5+ years of proven experience in FPGA prototyping.
  • Strong understanding of FPGA prototyping architecture, devices, flows, and tools.
  • Experience in backend flows of FPGA Prototyping - Synthesis, P&R, and Timing closure, with emphasis on Synopsys Protocompiler or Synplify Premier and Xilinx Vivado.
  • Exposure to ASIC design and verification tools (VCS or equivalent, Verdi, GDB).
  • Knowledge of Verilog, System Verilog, and digital design concepts.
  • Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills.
  • Hands-on experience with lab FPGA debug methodologies, tools (Identify or ChipScope), and lab debug equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Scripting knowledge (Perl/shell/Tcl) is desired.
  • Good documentation, communication, and interpersonal skills.
  • Experience in system/SOC/Full chip level verification desirable.
  • Prior experience with hardware emulation or prototyping (Synopsys HAPS, Zebu, Cadence Protium, Palladium, Mentor Veloce) of a high-performance processor or SOC is a plus.

NVIDIA is a leader in the development of graphics processing units (GPUs) and high-performance computing hardware. Our team is passionate about pushing the boundaries of innovation and making a meaningful impact on the world. If you are a motivated and experienced FPGA prototyping engineer looking for a new challenge, we encourage you to apply.

The base salary range for this position is $164,000 - $304,750 USD. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits. NVIDIA accepts applications on an ongoing basis.
