Job Details:

Job Description:

  • Join our Silicon Validation team and contribute to the development and enablement of next鈥慻eneration FPGA devices.

    • As a new graduate engineer, you will support validation activities focused on FPGA configuration flows, device security features, or the Hard Processor System (HPS).
    • You will gain hands鈥憃n experience working with FPGA silicon, configuration interfaces, secure boot flows, and embedded systems while collaborating closely with cross鈥慺unctional design, architecture, and software teams.
    • This role offers strong learning opportunities and exposure to real silicon behavior, validation methodologies, and the technologies that enable reliable and secure FPGA operation.

    Key Responsibilities

    馃敼 FPGA Configuration

    • Assist in validating FPGA configuration architectures, including JTAG, Passive Serial, Active Serial, and other configuration interfaces.
    • Develop test content, scripts, and automation to verify configuration modes, boot flows, failure recovery, and configuration robustness.
    • Perform silicon bring-up, debug configuration issues, and collaborate with design/architecture teams to resolve defects.

    馃敼 Security Features

    • Contribute to validation of FPGA security technologies such as secure boot, authentication, encryption, and key management.
    • Execute security test plans covering secure configuration flows, tamper scenarios, and access鈥慶ontrol mechanisms.
    • Support root鈥慶ause analysis for security鈥憆elated issues and help improve test coverage and documentation.

    馃敼 Hard Processor System (HPS)

    • Support testing of HPS boot flows, firmware loading, peripheral initialization, and FPGA鈥憈o鈥慔PS interactions.
    • Work with software teams on debugging U鈥態oot/Linux boot processes and validating communication between HPS and FPGA fabric.
    • Assist in evaluating performance, stability, and robustness of HPS features on development boards and silicon platforms

    Qualifications:

    • Qualifications
      • Bachelor鈥檚 or Master鈥檚 degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
      • Knowledge or coursework related to FPGA architecture, embedded systems, digital logic, or SoC design.
      • Familiarity with configuration interfaces, embedded processors, or security fundamentals (advantage).
      • Basic understanding of programming/scripting languages such as Python, C, or Verilog (advantage).
      • Strong analytical thinking, willingness to learn, and interest in hardware bring鈥憉p and system鈥憀evel debug.
