About This Role
- Validate programming, security (crypto), and debug features of Microchip SoC/FPGA across pre-silicon, emulation, and post-silicon platforms.
- Lead validation efforts including writing and executing system/product-level plans, FPGA prototyping and emulation, and managing failure analysis and hardware debug.
- Assign and manage work, mentor junior engineers, and coordinate with cross-functional teams including design, firmware, IP, software, and architecture.
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
- 8+ years of silicon or FPGA validation experience.
- Strong skills in Verilog/VHDL RTL, simulation and synthesis flows (ModelSim/QuestaSim, Synplify, Libero).
- Experience with embedded processors (ARM Cortex-M, RISC-V), embedded C/C++, scripting in TCL and Python, board-level lab debug tools, and NIST-compliant security validation.
- Experience leading a group of engineers.
- Travel availability: 25%-50%.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Experienced in complex silicon and FPGA validation with deep knowledge of hardware/system architectures and cryptographic security validation.
- Capable of independently leading validation projects and mentoring junior engineers in a cross-functional environment.
- Hands-on expertise in FPGA prototyping, emulation, embedded processor knowledge, and scripting for regression and automation tools.
