Post Silicon Validation Engineer with RTL FPGA

Senior FPGA Validation Engineer (RTL, Silicon)

Company:Vikgol
Location: Hyderabad, Telangana (On-site)
Job Type: Full-time
Experience: 5 to 8 years

Job Description:

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior FPGA Validation Engineer to join our dynamic team in Hyderabad. In this critical role, you will be at the forefront of integrating and validating complex FPGA designs, ensuring the success of our cutting-edge silicon products.

This is a hands-on role with a primary focus on system-level integration and post-silicon validation, requiring strong technical expertise and excellent debugging skills.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform FPGA system integration, bringing together multiple RTL IP cores into a complete, functional system.
• Lead post-silicon validation activities, including test plan development, execution, and characterization of FPGAs on hardware.
• Conduct system-level testing and performance analysis for high-speed protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, and DDR4/5.
• Debug complex issues at both the design level (using simulation tools, logic analyzers) and the physical board level (using oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers).
• Collaborate with design teams to create and refine RTL code for FPGA implementation.
• Utilize industry-standard FPGA toolchains (Xilinx Vivado / Intel Quartus Prime) for design and validation tasks.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 5-8 years of direct experience in FPGA design and validation.
• Strong proficiency in RTL design and implementation using VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Hands-on experience with FPGA design flows and tools from Xilinx and/or Intel.
• Proven expertise in validating and debugging high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR4/5).
• Solid experience in silicon bring-up, system-level testing, and board-level debugging.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Must be an immediate joiner.
