Engineer, Electrical Design – FPGA Logic Design

Job Description 

As an Electrical Design Engineer – (FPGA Logic Design) in the Systems Integration Group (SIG) at Micron Technology, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and implementing FPGA and/or SoC solutions for advanced semiconductor manufacturing test equipment. Responsibilities include generation of specifications, component selection, FPGA coding, simulation, and analyses, support of PCB/PWB layout, and integration & verification testing.  You will work closely with cross-functional teams located around the world to ensure the successful integration of FPGA designs in various projects, contributing to innovative test solutions and enhancing system performance. 

Responsibilities 

• Derive FPGA and SoC design specifications from system requirements 

• Using HDL, develop modules and top-level implementations.  

• Debug RTL code using modern simulation tools ensuring coverage closure and functional correctness 

• Perform Synthesis, Place and Route (PAR) and Static Timing Analysis (STA) 

• Perform timing closure and optimization for high-performance designs. 

• Generate verification test plans and perform end-to-end simulations 

• Collaborate with other design disciplines, including electrical, software, and systems engineering. 

• Support electrical engineers during various phases of PCB assembly verification: design, bring-up and test. 

• Prepare technical documentation, including design requirements, specifications, test reports, and user manuals. 

• Provide regular progress updates to other team members and leadership. 

• Participates in the improvement of digital (FPGA/ASIC) design processes.  

Skills and Experience 

• BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline. 

• Proficiency with FPGA logic design using HDL such as Verilog/VHDL and SystemVerilog. 

• Experience integrating and testing third-party IP cores/blocks 

Preferred Additional Skills 

• Experience with AMD/Xilinx Vivado, Intel/Altera Quartus, or other comparable FPGA/ASIC development EDA tools. 

• Understanding of common protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART/Serial, JTAG, PCIe, etc. 

• Familiarity with DDR4+ memory interfaces and their implementation in FPGA and SoC designs. 

• Hands-on experience with embedded systems and microprocessor/microcontroller integration. 

• Experience with clock domain crossing, timing constraints, pin assignment, placement, and layout constraints. 

• Experience with simulation & verification tools like Siemens ModelSim/QuestaSim, AMD/Xilinx Vivado, or Altera/Intel Questa 

• Knowledge of UVM methodology for verification. 

• Expertise in laboratory debug techniques using digital scopes, logic analyzers, BERTS, and other complex measurement devices. 

• Solid foundation of engineering skills and knowledge, including how engineering projects progress from initial planning to final completion and use by partners/customers. 

• Experience with AXI streaming and control buses. 

• Familiarity with networking protocols (UDP/TCP, Ethernet MAC/PHY, FIX, PTP). 

• Experience interfacing with ADC and DAC devices. 

• Familiarity with debugging and development on RISC-V and/or ARM-based SOCs. 

• Experience using Linux OS including command-line and LDAP 

• Knowledgeable in scripting/programming languages, primarily Tcl and Python. 

• Experience with configuration management tools like Git and Artifactory.
