- Participate in all phases of FPGA design - from concept through design to integration on a wafer inspection tool. This includes creation of design documents, reviewing schematics, bringing up new hardware, and defining/overseeing/performing unit and system tests.
- Work interactively to derive FPGA requirements from system requirements.
- Implement logic/control blocks, including custom filters, DSP/image processing blocks, a high-speed image data path, and a processor and memory interface to support real-time processing.
- Familiar with optimization of FPGA designs for area, speed, and power to meet system requirements.
- Verify DSP and image processing code against Python/MATLAB models and collaborate with systems engineers.
- Run implementation tools, such as Xilinx Vivado and Intel Quartus; perform timing closure for your designs.
- Bring up FPGA design in the lab with necessary lab equipment and complete validation of the design.
- Collaborate with software engineers to integrate the design into wafer Inspection tools.
- Candidates must have flexibility for domestic and international travel based on business needs.
Qualifications
- Experience in the design of FPGA and/or DSP solutions with Vivado, Quartus, or other major development tools, in Verilog or other FPGA development languages through the entire FPGA design flow, including timing closure and high-speed design
- Knowledge of various clock domain crossing (CDC) techniques
- Experience developing with FPGA tools (e.g., Vivado, Quartus) and EDA tools such as simulators (e.g., Questa)
- Coding knowledge of industry-standard interfaces, protocols, and architectures: AMBA, PCIe, Ethernet (>1G), DDR, I2C, etc. and related IP
- Experience debugging FPGA logic and IP blocks
- Strong programming and scripting skills: MATLAB, Python, C/C++, Tcl
- Familiarity with timing closure techniques (routing, static timing analysis) for high-speed design
- Experience in designing hardware (schematic entry, layout, etc.) is a plus, and familiarity with semiconductor industry design standards
- Are you ready to start your adventure at KLA? We have exciting work and phenomenal benefits!
