About the role
As an FPGA Platform Development Engineer in the Hardware Development Group, you will be responsible for FPGA IP integration, synthesis, timing closure, and validation, as well as developing FPGA prototypes for ASIC verification. You will drive commercial-grade FPGA projects from initial development through deployment for both ASIC and FPGA targeting.
What you'll do
- Lead FPGA IP integration, synthesis, timing closure, and validation.
- Develop FPGA prototypes for ASIC verification and early deployment testing.
- Drive commercial-grade FPGA projects from initial development through deployment.
- Optimize timing and achieve closure on high-speed FPGA platforms to maximize system performance.
- Collaborate with ASIC and software teams to resolve integration challenges and ensure system bring-up.
What you'll need
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in FPGA engineering.
- Proficiency in HDL (Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL).
- Hands-on experience with FPGA design and EDA toolchains, such as AMD Vivado, Intel Quartus, Synplify Pro, VCS, or Xcelium.
- Solid knowledge of system architecture, clock domain crossing (CDC), and power management designs.
Nice to have
- Experience with AMD (Versal series) or Altera (Agilex series) FPGA platforms.
- Proven track record of delivering commercial FPGA-based products.
- Experience with ARM-based FPGA platforms and high-speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, SmartNIC).
- Experience with memory subsystems (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, LPDDRx).

How we counted: 1098 open Digital/RTL Design (RTL Design) roles from 104 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 11 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Digital Design & Verification family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
