Software Engineer

Microchip’s FPGA software engineering team is at the forefront of developing advanced Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software, empowering customers to program and optimize Microchip FPGAs.

Our comprehensive software suite supports the entire FPGA design flow - from initial design entry and synthesis, through place-and-route, timing analysis, power optimization, and simulation - enabling users to achieve high-performance, reliable solutions.

Within this team, the High-Level Synthesis (HLS) group is driving innovation in system-level FPGA design.

Our SmartHLS™ tool enables customers to describe hardware accelerators in C/C++, which are then compiled into efficient FPGA implementations using state-of-the-art LLVM/MLIR compiler infrastructure.

The PolarFire® System Designer further expands design possibilities, providing a robust platform for building complete SoC solutions that seamlessly integrate RISC-V processors with FPGA-based hardware accelerators, while supporting comprehensive system-level verification.

We currently have an opening for a Software Engineer on our team.

In this role, you will play a key part in shaping the future of FPGA design tools.

Your primary focus will be compiler development using LLVM and MLIR, while also having opportunities to contribute to broader SoC design and verification workflows.

Working in a collaborative, agile, and supportive environment, you will partner with talented engineers to solve complex technical challenges that directly enhance customer productivity and accelerate time-to-market.

This role offers significant opportunities for professional growth, technical innovation, and the chance to make a meaningful impact on the evolution of the EDA industry.

The software engineering team is based in Toronto.

The Microchip office is in the downtown financial core at 67 Yonge Street.
