Since 2010, we've shipped over 300 million units to customers building smarter wearables, medical devices, IoT products, and AI-powered edge applications.\nOur cross-functional teams span design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations across Austin, Hsinchu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore. We move fast, tackle hard problems, and create space for people to grow through complex, meaningful work that shapes the future of technology.\nWe're looking for self-motivated, creative problem-solvers who are eager to push technological limits and make a real impact in energy efficiency.\nAt Ambiq, we live by five values: Innovate. Collaborate. Focus. Learn. Achieve.\nIf that's you, join us - the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.\nAs the Senior Engineer, FPGA at Ambiq, you will drive the development and rendering of FPGA images in support of our pre-silicon prototyping environments. \nIn this role, you will work with our SoC design, software development, design verification, and system test teams as our primary internal customers for the FPGA images. \nThe successful candidate will have experience in RTL design, verification, and FPGA/Prototyping platform creation to support Design Verification, Validation, Software Development and System Test at the pre-silicon phase. \nThe person in this role must be comfortable working with RTL to implement specialized changes to the SoC database for the FPGA development flow. This role will require defining and implementing internal and external FPGA timing constraints to enable repeated delivery of design iterations to the software and validation teams. The candidate will be required to debug RTL designs using FPGA tools, external logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers. \nResponsibilities \nImplement and debug FPGA designs on AMD FPGA based prototyping platforms using Xilinx Vivado and ISE tools. \nImplement and debug FPGA designs on a Stratix-10 development board using Intel Quartus prime Pro. \nSupport a regression test-suite consisting of system-level test cases to validate updated FPGA builds. \nAssist development teams in reproduction, triage, and debug of issues both pre-silicon and post-silicon \nDefine and implement timing constraints. \nQualifications \nBSEE or BSCE with 6+ years of SoC design, verification, or related work experience and 8+ years of experience of FPGA design, bring-up, debugging, and verification. \nIn-depth knowledge of top-down FPGA development process with recent experience with FPGA-based prototyping on an FPGA development platform. \nSolid experience with defining timing constraints for Static Timing Analysis. \nSome familiarity with Cadence SoC design flow. \nExpertise in both Intel Quartus Prime Pro and Xilinx Vivado suites. \nSolid understanding of the tool flow from RTL to bitstream. \nSome familiarity with programming in C language. \nFamiliarity with source code control systems (git) required. \nFamiliarity with simulation tools. \nHands-on lab bring-up experience, debug, and instrument usage. \nIn addition, the following areas of experience are highly desirable for the position but not strictly required: \nIn-depth experience with Stratix 10 FPGA platforms: boards, debug, performance, and throughput tuning. \nIn-depth experience with AMD VU19P prototyping systems, debug, design partitioning, performance, and throughput tuning. \nExperience with Siemens proFPGA prototyping/emulation platform and VPS software. \nExperience with ARM’s MPS4 platform. \nExperience with low power designs. \nExperience with embedded microprocessors. \nProven design validation skills. \nIn-depth experience writing Verilog code. \nExperience with System Verilog verification environments. \nGood analytical skills. \nPython script experience. \nYAML \nPeripheral protocols: I2C, I3C, MSPI, UART,
