FPGA Design Engineer

About This Role

Finding new and better ways to accelerate what's next is at the core of this FPGA Design Engineer role. You will primarily work from an HPE office, developing RTL for Xilinx (AMD) FPGA and/or Lattice CPLD designs, and selecting appropriate parts for designs based on various criteria.

Responsibilities

• Develop RTL for Xilinx (AMD) FPGA and/or Lattice CPLD designs
• Select appropriate parts for designs weighing against numerous criteria such as cost, complexity, longevity, expandability, etc.
• Design hardware controls & knowledge in sequencing power, control and monitoring LSI and ASIC devices within compute, switch or storage board designs
• Perform simulation, design, synthesis and timing validation in Verilog RTL
• Create IP for interface controllers, functionality as needed
• Conduct reviews of your designs with the design and operations teams, and contribute to team schematic design reviews per HPE’s product design, development, and release processes
• Generate programming models and work with firmware engineers on driver development
• Work closely with board engineers for bring-up and testing of printed circuit assemblies
• Lead or support debug of development and field issues
• Track and document issue discovery, investigation plans/results, issue resolution, and issue closure in issue tracking data bases
• Work with HPE partners and vendors to define requirements, support co-development or debug efforts
• Work with FPGA vendors to understand roadmaps as well as new IP developments

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering
• 4 or more years experience writing RTL for FPGAs for complex compute boards and/or ASIC designs
• Ability to read and understand complex digital board schematics
• Ability to work independently and within design teams on multiple projects
• Ability to use lab equipment, scopes and analyzers, to debug complex problems
• Ability to work successfully with engineers across all geos to meet design requirements and schedules
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Nice to have:

• Experience with BMC controllers, management interfaces for various CPU or GPU types, hardware management using I2C, SMBUS, JTAG, SPI, LPC, Wishbone, eSPI, PCIe, Ethernet, etc. protocols
• Knowledge of server grade x86 and/or ARM and/or GPU processors
• Experience with Xilinx Spartan 6, Spartan 7, Artix 7 families

Benefits

• Comprehensive suite of benefits that supports physical, financial and emotional wellbeing
