Job Description:

This position is in the Advanced Development team of Microchip's FPGA Division. Microchip is a major supplier of low-power and highly reliable field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), a type of programmable logic chip. Our FPGAs are used in a wide variety of applications, including: embedded vision; digital signal processing; machine learning; industrial and medical equipment; and satellites.


Microchip is also a pioneer in embedding RISC-V processors in FPGAs. The successful applicant will work as part a core team that develops future FPGA fabric architectures and collaborate with design engineering to develop, verify, and integrate the fabric architecture with other device components such as IO, hard IP blocks, configuration, and security.


Responsibilities will include a mixture of the following:

  • Learn about development of FPGA fabric architectures that support a range of applications across embedded control solutions, communications, industrial, and aerospace.

  • Contribute to evaluation of logic and routing for future FPGA architectures, and help drive speed, power, and cost targets.

  • Develop FPGA application benchmarks to evaluate micro-architecture designs, either by coding them in Verilog or by programming algorithms to generate designs automatically.

  • Design and analyze custom and standard cell circuits to implement desired functionality while meeting power, performance, area, and reliability requirements.
