Role : Experienced Engineer - FPGA CAD

About this opportunity :

You will join the FPGA CAD team to support design and verification teams which focuses on legacy, current, and next-generation Radio/RAN compute products within Ericsson. The new hire will play a critical role in strengthening Ericssons silicon strategy by supporting automation and FPGA CAD methodology to enhance the efficiency of a new site in Bangalore.

You will do :

- Develop, test, and deploy FPGA CAD tools and automation flows to support FPGA product development.

- Assist in defining design specifications, implementation strategies, CAD methodologies and debugging for FPGA tools and automation flows.

- Develop and maintain automation scripts for FPGA design and simulation flow and support engineers in resolving tool, environment, and runtime issues by engaging AE teams from suppliers.

- The automation scripts to include but not be limited to synthesis, place & route, bitstream generation, timing closure, QoR analysis and performance assessment - power estimation, timing analysis for design flow/ compile, elaboration, run, debug, regression and performance assessment runtime, memory, licenses for simulation flow.

- Support FPGA design and verification engineers by automating the performance assessment of new tool versions and features.

- Build and maintain relationships with FPGA project teams to ensure alignment on goals and support timelines.

- Contribute to the continuous improvement of products, tools, and processes.

- Follow and contribute to the teams CAD guidelines, best practices, processes, and documentation standards.

You must have :

- 3 to 5 years of experience in Python software development.

- Strong understanding of Python idioms, data structures, and object-oriented design.

- Experience with automated testing (unit, integration) and TDD practices.

- Ability to understand, reuse existing code effectively and/or write reusable, modular, and well-documented code.

- Strong experience with scripting languages such as Tcl, Bash, Perl, etc

- Familiarity with version control systems such as Git.

- A problem-solving attitude, self-motivation, and eagerness to learn and contribute.

- Excellent English verbal and written communication skills.
