Job Description:

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

We research and implement cutting-edge fast and scalable algorithms with the objective of helping FPGA architects meet the product performance requirements and customers extract the best performance out of these FPGA products. To meet these goals we draw from a variety of EE CE and CS 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 develop next generation performance evaluation (timing and power) algorithms. Your work will used by thousands of well-known customers and your achievements will improve the overall solution both internally and externally.

Primary Job Responsibilities:

• Design develop test debug and maintain static timing analysis software
• Modeling complex electronic digital components including high-speed IOs
• Developing solutions tailored towards supporting very large graph representation.
• Optimizing architecture processing and analysis in terms of run-time and memory footprint.
• 
  

Secondary Job Responsibilities:

• Integrate some of the capabilities in an internal flow to evaluate future FPGA architectures.
• Participate to the R&D exploration activities on advanced topics such as OCV SSTA IR Drop
• Help with the enforcement of Microchips Software Development Processes
