Job Description

The Microchip FPGA Software Engineering team delivers a comprehensive software suite for designing Microchip’s FPGAs and managing the entire design flow from entry to synthesis, through place-and-route, timing, power analysis, and simulation. Within software organization the Timing, Power, Data and Modeling group is responsible for developing high-quality and user-friendly software for modeling and analyzing FPGA design performance, both for speed and power consumption. These are key sign-off tools, distributed along with the hardware to a wide range of customers as well as used internally for the exploration of future FPGA architectures.

We research and implement cutting-edge fast and scalable algorithms with the objective of helping FPGA designers close on their performance requirements within an increasingly limited power budget. To meet these goals, we draw from a variety of computer science domains, including numerical optimization, linear programming, graph theory, modeling non-linear electronic components, large data processing and machine learning based regression and classification methods. As a member of this R&D team, you will leverage your solid foundations in computer science to drive the development of the next generation performance evaluation algorithms and support customers in addressing issues and challenges using these tools.
