Principal Engineer, eFPGA Place and Route

The Group:

The charter of ADI’s eFPGA team is to co-develop an industry leading heterogenous processing system deploying embedded Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) for high-speed, real-time hardware adaptation.  An on-going requirement for this capability is the development and support of FPGA backend toolset including timing-driven implementation suite (optimization, place and route, bitstream), reporting (area, timing, power) and debug capabilities.  This software suite will be a key part of a larger heterogenous co-processing development environment allowing the ability to design leading-edge products in a variety of applications and markets.

The Position:

The group is seeking an experienced Principal Engineer to lead and contribute to the development of next generation eFPGA backend tools.  This person will manage a small team of highly motivated individuals to guide the realization of an industry-leading eFPGA toolset as well as participate to the overall engineering effort.
