FPGA Designer with UFS Flash Experience

Position Title: FPGA (front-end) Designer with UFS Flash is RequiredLocation: HYBRID, but must be local to San Jose, CA for occasional onsite as needed (set-up Testdebug issues in the lab)Length of Contract: 6 months, possible extension to 12Proces: 2 rounds and hire Urgency is borne of tapeout deadlines. They have moved these back with their customers already twice and don’t want to do it again. Combination of NOT having the UFS (Flash) experience in house and not having enough hands-on deck. 3 other Designers currently on the team but they are busy and bogged down with Support issues so they can’t focus on front-end design, also they do NOT have UFS. Responsibilities

• Architect and implement FPGA solutions to support next generation Flash and DRAM test instrumentation.
• Provide technical leadership to junior engineers
• Turn abstract concepts and customer requirements into reliable, extensible, and supportable designs.
• Assist in the maintenance and extension of existing FPGA designs to support quality improvement and emerging customer requiremen bts.
• Maintain schedule commitments and deliver high quality end products.
• Occasional travel may be required.

• Experience with Digital Design and Architecture
• RTL coding, synthesis, timing closure and lab validation
• Hands-on/Working Knowledge of implementing various interfaces for UFS Flash 3.0 version later – key
• Experience with Static Timing Analysis of ASICs or FPGAs
• Experience with digital simulation testbench creation
• Experience with C or C
• Familiarity with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies and waveform generators.

• FPGA Transceiver based design experience
• Experience with DRAM and Flash Memory interfaces
• Experience with Intel/Xilinx FPGA tool flows
• Proficiency with Verilog HDL Language
• Familiarity with UVM Methodology
• Scripting languages experience
• Linux and Windows operating systems experience
