Job Description:

FPGA Prototyping Engineer – Full Chip (Synopsys HAPS)

We are seeking a highly skilled FPGA Prototyping Engineer with strong experience in full-chip prototyping using Synopsys HAPS platforms. The ideal candidate will have hands-on expertise in partitioning, mapping, and validating large-scale ASIC/SoC designs across multiple FPGAs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform FPGA prototyping of full-chip ASIC/SoC designs using Synopsys HAPS (High-Performance ASIC Prototyping Systems)
• Execute logical partitioning of large RTL designs for efficient FPGA implementation
• Map and implement complex designs across multiple FPGAs while ensuring optimal performance
• Integrate and bring up full-chip prototypes on HAPS platforms
• Debug and validate complete SoC functionality on FPGA prototypes
• Collaborate with design, verification, and software teams to resolve issues and ensure design correctness
• Optimize timing, resource utilization, and overall system performance on FPGA platforms
• Develop and maintain scripts, automation flows, and documentation for prototyping processes

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Proven experience working with Synopsys HAPS systems
• Strong understanding of FPGA architecture and prototyping methodologies
• Expertise in RTL design (Verilog/System Verilog) and ASIC/SoC development flows
• Hands-on experience in partitioning large designs and multi-FPGA mapping
• Experience with debugging tools such as logic analyzers, waveform viewers, and on-chip debug solutions
• Familiarity with synthesis, place-and-route, and timing closure for FPGA designs

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Intel or similar high-performance SoC platforms
• Knowledge of high-speed interfaces (PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, etc.)
• Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, or Perl
• Exposure to emulation/prototyping flows and tools beyond HAPS
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills in complex hardware environments
