Job Description

FPGA Prototype, Emulation Lead
About the Role
Join the RISC-V Revolution! We are seeking a highly skilled FPGA and emulation engineer lead to join our team and help us build FPGA designs for our CPU`s (64-bit, and 32-bit), and SOCs. This is a very important role given FPGA`s play a key role in our validation as well as in our shift-left software development approach. This is a unique opportunity to contribute across the full silicon-to-software lifecycle, combining software engineering with post-silicon validation to ensure high-quality, safety-critical SoC solutions.
What We Offer
At MIPS, you`ll be a member of a fast-growing team of technologists that are creating the industry`s highest performance RISC-V processors. Small teams that are part of a non-compartmentalized structure you`ll be able to understand and have an impact on the bigger picture. A great deal of autonomy, with support from some of the industry`s most experienced CPU engineers. An unlimited growth path with the right skills, you can decide where you want to expand and grow in your role at MIPS. The opportunity to learn a great deal about the blossoming RISC-V architecture in cutting-edge applications with industry-leading customers.
Responsibilities
  • Design, build and develop innovative FPGA and emulation platform solutions for both single and multi-core clusters, integrating additional custom and 3rd party system IP as needed.
  • Perform pre-silicon CPU and system validation using FPGA and HW emulation platforms to ensure functional correctness and performance targets.
  • Analyse system performance on FPGA platforms and optimize for area and speed, leveraging available FPGA resources effectively.
  • Create tailored FPGA prototyping platforms based on customer specifications and evolving project requirements.
  • Collaborate closely with customer teams to enable rapid prototyping of their SoCs, supporting both hardware evaluation and software development needs.
  • Develop, document, and execute comprehensive pre-silicon validation test plans, including corner cases and integration scenarios.
  • Integrate, verify, and bring up daughter boards, custom IP, and peripheral modules in real-time device environments.
  • Provide technical support and troubleshooting for FPGA systems in both customer-facing and internal R&D contexts.
Qualifications
Ideally, you`ll have 10+ years of hands-on experience with leading FPGA Platforms like proFPGA, VPS, and Veloce. Solid understanding of FPGA architecture, system-level design, and prototyping flow from RTL to implementation. Good understanding of Verification and Validation fundamentals. Hands-on experience with integrating and bringing up daughter cards, custom IP blocks, and peripherals at the board, system level. Familiarity with SoC boot flows and platform initialization (for ARM or RISCV-based architectures). Working knowledge of MIPS, ARM, or RISC-V based IP subsystems and their integration within FPGA platforms. Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in both Windows and Linux environments. Proficient in scripting languages (such as Python, Bash, TCL) to automate design, build, and validation flows. Experience with industry-standard digital design tools (e.g., Vivado).
Additional Qualifications
Experience working on CPUs or other high complexity, pipelined digital logic products. Familiarity with different Instruction Set Architectures (e.g., RISC-V, ARM64, x86_64) and understanding of coherency protocols for multi-core clusters. Background in hardware-software co-design and early software bring-up. Experience working with CI,CD and agile tools (Jenkins, Git, Jira). Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a strong customer-oriented mindset.
About MIPS
MIPS is well-known as a microprocessor pioneer, having led the way in RISC-based computing to enable faster and more power-efficient semiconductors for a wide range of applications from consumer electronics to networking and communications. More than 30 years after the introduction of the original MIPS RISC architecture, MIPS processors have shipped into billions of consumer and enterprise products. Today, MIPS is once again leading a RISC revolution as we build on our deep roots to accelerate the RISC-V architecture for high-performance applications. We are focused on delivering our first RISC-V products the MIPS eVocore processors, which provide a new level of scalability for high-performance heterogeneous computing. Because of our RISC heritage, deep engineering expertise, and proven technologies, MIPS can accelerate development and deployment of RISC-V based solutions.
