• Debug customer designs involving interface IP such as DDR4/DDR5, LPDDR, PCIe, Ethernet, USB, AXI, and other standard protocols.
• Reproduce and analyze technical issues reported by customers, working with R&D to identify root causes and deliver solutions or workarounds.
• Develop and document methodologies for partitioning strategies, clock architecture, debug instrumentation, and bring-up procedures.
• Collaborate with Sales and Customer Success teams to support technical evaluations, proof-of-concept engagements, and deployment planning.
• Use Verdi, ProtoCompiler runtime debug tools, and protocol analyzers to troubleshoot RTL, netlist, timing, and hardware issues.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5-8 years in FPGA implementation, ASIC design, ASIC verification, FPGA prototyping, or applications engineering.
• Solid experience with FPGA synthesis, place-and-route, and timing closure using Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, or similar tools.
• Working knowledge of SystemVerilog, RTL design, and verification concepts.
• Hands-on experience with at least one interface IP family such as PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, USB, or AXI.
• Scripting ability in Tcl, Python, or shell for automation and flow customization.
