THE ROLE: We are looking for a technically strong, execution-focused Product Engineer to take end-to-end responsibility for a specific FPGA product line—starting from concept to post-silicon validation. The role centers on engineering ownership, delivering optimized, customer-ready silicon solutions for applications in varied market segments.   THE PERSON:  You are a collaborative, detail-oriented, and highly adaptable professional who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment. Strong communication, problem-solving, and ownership mindset are critical to navigating the complexities of product development role while aligning technical outcomes with customer needs.   KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:  Product Inception & Definition Phase Understand new FPGA-based products aligned with varied market and application needs. Support Product planning on device definitions with inputs from architecture, marketing, and engineering. Understand initial costing, resource planning, and schedule estimation and PPA. Participate in new product proposal approval reviews with technical and business justifications. Development & Execution Partner with architecture, FE, BE design, and verification teams to manage trade-offs across cost, PPA and schedule. Support engineering execution from micro-Arch definition, front-end RTL development through back-end implementation. Drive cross-functional alignment and issue resolution throughout the silicon execution phase. Bring in end-to-end design cycle expertise to drive engineer efforts in interest of the product. Post-Silicon & Productization Review post-Si test plans, validation strategies and drive SW-FW alignment before silicon arrival. Oversee VnC activities, and drive Silicon issues towards planned Productization requirements. Own the complete solution lifecycle, from definition to validated, customer-adaptable silicon. Ensure deliverables are cost-effective, high-performing, and time-to-market optimized. Enable solution-level readiness by coordinating with hardware, software, and customer support teams.   PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:  Proven track record in hardware product development—from concept to post-silicon validation. Deep understanding of FPGA, IP, or ASIC design and verification processes. Hands on experience with SystemVerilog, Digital Design methodologies Experience with front-end and back-end flows, including synthesis, P&R, timing closure, and verification. Good grasp of customer requirements, solution trade-offs, and system-level thinking is desirable. Strong scripting and automation skills to support design and validation flows. Comfortable working across multi-disciplinary teams in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.   ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:  Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering LOCATION: San Jose, CA #LI-DW1 #LI-HYBRID This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
