Hiring Manager
Diane Walkowiak
Responsibilities
Participate in technical role in all phases of the product development cycle from new product exploration, architecture through implementation, prototyping, validation, productization and support including but not limited to architecture, design, and documentation for Ips
Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, and firmware engineers to understand the new features to be developed
RTL Development: Design, verify, and validate high-performance logic using System Verilog/Verilog. You will focus on the data and control path, implementing interfaces for PCIe (Gen 6/7), CXL, UAL, Ethernet, and DDR5/6
Embedded System Development: Develop firmware and low-level system software for the on-chip ARM Cortex (APU/RPU) or RISC-V soft cores. This includes managing inter-processor communication (IPC), DMA orchestration, and secure boot
System Level Integration: Utilize the AMD (Xilinx) Vivado and Vitis ecosystems to integrate custom IP with the Network on Chip (NoC), Memory and other subsystems
Pre-Si Verification: Perform pre-silicon verification and emulation to ensure functional correctness and performance
Post-Si Validation: Lead the "Bring-up" process in the lab. Perform post-silicon validation, debugging complex interactions between the embedded software, Hard IPs and FPGA hardware fabric
