Firmware Developer & FPGA System Integraton

The FPGA/Embedded Systems Engineer will be responsible for designing, integrating, and validating FPGA-based systems, low-level firmware, and IPs. This role spans hardware architecture understanding, board bring-up, embedded firmware development, test specification, and collaboration with cross-functional teams to deliver robust system-level solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Understand hardware architecture, datapaths, and IP specifications.
• Develop low-level drivers to interface with IPs and protocols such as PCIe, SPI, NAND Flash, and others.
• Integrate hardware components and IPs to achieve required system functionality and FPGA board-level bring-up.
• Create test specification documents and define test objectives for system validation.
• Align development and validation processes with cross-functional teams including ASIC, Firmware, and Validation.
• Prepare internal and external specifications, documentation, and user manuals.
• Apply critical thinking and problem-solving to analyze results and support product development.
• Continuously learn new technologies and embrace problem-solving in ambiguous environments.

Required Qualifications

• 8-10 years of experience in FPGA/RTL design, embedded firmware, testbench development, and system-level integration.
• Experience with FPGA board bring-up using low-level firmware.
• Hands-on experience with ARC and ARM CPUs.
• Strong knowledge of AMD Vivado, Vitis SDK, and Vitis AI tools.
• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded firmware development and Python for scripting/automation.
• Experience with Petalinux build flow, U-Boot, Linux driver modifications, and FPGA SoC debugging.
• Multi-disciplinary experience across Firmware, Hardware, and ASIC/FPGA design.
• B.Tech/B.E. in Electronics, Electrical, or Computer Science Engineering.
• Proven ability to work effectively in global, multi-geography teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of ARC CPU architectures and cache hierarchy.
• Familiarity with PCIe Gen4/5/6 technology, SPI interfaces, and storage protocols.
• Previous experience with NAND flash and other storage systems.
