The ideal candidate is a highly experienced FPGA prototyping engineer with strong technical leadership skills. You are detail-oriented, collaborative, and capable of driving complex technical initiatives while mentoring engineering teams and influencing cross‑functional stakeholders.

• Define and own the FPGA prototyping architecture, methodology roadmap, and platform strategy for complex SoCs, including partitioning, interconnects, clocking, debug infrastructure, and high‑speed interfaces.
• Lead the development and deployment of FPGA prototype platforms, including RTL adaptation, implementation flows, verification infrastructure, regression environments, and system‑level debug capabilities.
• Drive collaboration across Architecture, RTL Design, Verification, Emulation, Software, and Firmware teams to enable early hardware validation, software bring‑up, and functional coverage goals.
• Provide technical leadership for FPGA prototyping engineers through mentoring, design reviews, best‑practice development, project planning, and execution of key program milestones.
• Establish engineering processes, implementation methodologies, documentation standards, and continuous improvement initiatives to improve efficiency, quality, and scalability.
• Represent the FPGA prototyping organization in architecture reviews, program reviews, and customer‑facing technical discussions while partnering with EDA and FPGA tool vendors to drive technology adoption and resolve complex technical challenges.

• 12+ years of experience in FPGA design, implementation, and SoC…
