Requirements

Candidates should possess a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, along with a minimum of 5 years of experience in RTL design for both ASIC and FPGA technologies. Applicants should have at least 3 years of direct experience working with complex FPGA designs and hardware emulation systems, demonstrating a proven ability to develop and maintain high-quality design documents. Strong verbal and written communication skills are also required.

Responsibilities

The Staff Emulation & FPGA Prototyping Engineer will develop and deploy FPGA-based prototypes for functional and performance validation of SoC subsystems, partition, synthesize, and implement RTL designs on FPGA platforms, ensuring timing closure and optimal resource utilization, and debug FPGA implementations to align with design specifications. They will configure and operate hardware emulation systems such as Synopsys ZeBu, Cadence Palladium/Protium, or Mentor Veloce for large-scale pre-silicon validation, develop and optimize transactors, bridges, and test environments for emulation platforms, identify and root-cause hardware, firmware, and software integration issues, and collaborate with firmware and software teams to enable early bring-up and pre-tapeout driver development. Additionally, the engineer will be responsible for occasional travel to the downtown Toronto office.
