Solutions Architect, FPGA

About the role

Solutions architecture here means judging whether an opportunity fits, then mapping a technical path, an estimate and the risks before a proposal goes out. Projects span several industries rather than one product line.

At a glance

What you will do

• Work with current and prospective clients to pin down their needs and turn them into requirements
• Architect a solution that meets the client's needs and split large programs into logical parts
• Plan the work, flag risks with mitigations and prepare estimates
• Write the technical sections of proposals and defend the approach and estimate when challenged
• Join project work when needed and help spot new products, investment areas and R&D directions

What they look for

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science or equivalent
• Ideally seven or more years of design work in a senior FPGA designer role
• System-level design experience, including weighing architectural options and tradeoffs
• Expert RTL design in VHDL or SystemVerilog, from architecture through timing closure
• Hands-on work with AMD or Altera families such as Versal, UltraScale+, Zynq, Agilex or Stratix and their toolchains
• Experience architecting high-speed interfaces and subsystems such as PCIe, Ethernet, DDR controllers, JESD204 and AXI-based SoC integration
