• Design MangoBoost DPU IPs that incorporates all required functionalities while meeting performance, power, and area requirements
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (IP Verification, Software, Architecture, SoC, etc.) for commercial-grade verification and seamless integration
• Contribute to the development of ARM processor subsystems, bus interconnects, and clock/power management units to enhance overall SoC performance
• Build FPGA prototyping systems for the validation of ASIC designs
• Engage in continuous learning and professional development to stay updated with emerging design methodologies and industry trends
• Opportunity to acquire state-of-the-art domain knowledge for the underlying technologies of DPU functionalities

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor, Master, or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field, with 3+ year industry experience)
• Proficiency in Verilog RTL design for moderately large-scale IPs, along with simulation-based verification expertiseA comprehensive understanding of SoC IP development flows (e.g., design rule check, low power design, logic synthesis, IP integration) or FPGA-based design flows (e.g., logic synthesis and P&R with Vivado or Quartus, timing optimization, and FPGA IP integration)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in designing IPs with AMBA interfaces
• Experience with System C or C++ designs for high-level synthesis
• Experience in designing ARM processor subsystems and bus interconnects
• Experience in designing clock management units or power management units
• Experience in writing logic synthesis constraints for multi-clock designs
• Experience in leading physical design engineers to achieve timing closure
• Experience in commercial FPGA prototyping solutions (e.g., Synopsys HAPS)
• Experience in emulation solutions (e.g., Zebu/Palladium/Veloce)
