Hardware Engineer- FPGA Design Engineer

Role Overview: You will be part of the Common Hardware Group, specializing in FPGA development. Your responsibilities will involve working on both sophisticated data-path and challenging control-path FPGAs. Your tasks will include crafting FPGA functional specification documents, RTL coding, image generation, and validation. Leveraging industry-standard tools for FPGA design will be crucial, incorporating various quality metrics to ensure a robust process. Your ultimate goal will be to deliver bug-free RTL for first-pass success on the board. Additionally, you will collaborate closely with remote teams based in the US and Italy. Key Responsibilities: - Design and implementation of FPGAs. - Participate in the architecture definition, implementation, and verification phases. - Develop detailed design specifications and test plans. - Implement block-level RTL, perform synthesis, and achieve timing closure. - Collaborate with multi-functional teams (hardware, software, diagnostics, and signal integrity groups). - Assist in complex subsystem-level lab bring-up, integration, and unit test validation. - Contribute to the design process adoption within the team. Qualifications Required: - Educational Background: Requires 8-10 years of experience in FPGA designs with MTech/BTech in EE/EC domain. - Experience with Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi FPGAs or proficiency in HDL languages (Verilog, VHDL, and System Verilog). - Hands-on experience with FPGA vendor tools like Vivado, Quartus, and Libero. - Experience with Ethernet-based protocols, PCIe, AXI, memory controllers, OTN, I2C, SPI, UART, etc. Familiarity with simulation flows like UVM and VMM will be an added advantage. - Basic knowledge of Unix systems and script tools. Additional Details of the Company: Cisco is revolutionizing how data and infrastructure connect and protect organizations in the AI era and beyond. With 40 years of fearless innovation, Cisco creates solutions that power how humans and technology work together across physical and digital worlds. These solutions offer customers unparalleled security, visibility, and insights across the entire digital footprint. Fueled by the depth and breadth of technology, Cisco experiments and creates meaningful solutions. With a worldwide network of experts, the opportunities to grow and build are limitless. Working as a team, collaborating with empathy, Cisco makes significant global impacts. Cisco believes that their solutions are everywhere, and their impact is everywhere. Join Cisco, where their power starts with you. Role Overview: You will be part of the Common Hardware Group, specializing in FPGA development.
