FPGA Engineer

Summary

Are you a highly experienced, self-driven FPGA Engineer with a passion for cutting-edge system-level and hardware-level design? At Apple Israel, you'll play an integral role in shaping the future of our products by bringing innovative prototypes to life. This is a unique opportunity to work with world-class experts, contribute to diverse and exciting design applications, and make a tangible impact on technologies that reach billions worldwide.

Description

As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for the selection, development, and seamless integration of FPGAs that implement critical functionality on our prototypes. Your work will span a wide range of applications, from crafting low-level hardware control and status for embedded systems and high-speed links, to integrating high-level IP blocks and developing custom hardware-accelerated algorithms and filters. You will leverage your strong foundation in digital design and communications, working with micro-controllers, microprocessors (ARM), and various peripheral interfaces (I2C, SPI, high-speed serial interfaces), and industry-standard protocols (PCI Express, USB, Ethernet). This role requires significant hands-on experience with board bring-up and debug of complex digital hardware.

Minimum Qualifications

• 3+ years in digital design and embedded systems development
• Expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL and extensive experience with large-scale FPGA development (Xilinx/Altera), including full build flows and timing closure
• Strong hands-on lab debug skills, utilizing FPGA debug tools (e.g., ChipScope, SignalTap) and lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers)
• Experience with RTL/gate-level simulation and verification methodologies, as well as debugging silicon and PCB issues
• Excellent communication skills and a desire to take on diverse technical challenges
• BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
  
  

• Familiarity with HAPS platform and tool flow
• ASIC Design/Verification experience
• Good Knowledge of FPGA backend flow
• Good knowledge of FPGA STA
• Proficiency in scripting (Python, TCL, Makefile) and C/C++
