To validate our first tape-out, we developed an initial prototyping platform, using a smart hybrid approach, connecting a real hardware system development board (socket ready) with a small prototyping FPGA board.

Given the success and eager adoption of this approach by our Firmware team, we decided to think even bigger and build a full stack prototyping and demonstration platform, porting the full complexity of our designs to FPGA prototyping, and enabling the development of the entire FW and SW (BIOS, Kernel or high speed-interfaces like PCIe/DDR/UCIe) pre-silicon!

To tackle that task, we are building an entire new team, who will be using state of the art multi-FPGA prototyping platforms (Ultrascale+ VP1902, the largest FPGAs in the industry), porting and modeling our entire design and connecting it with real hardware.

• Design, develop and continuously improve the FPGA prototyping workflow, integrating it into the company-wide HW and SW flows
• Generate, test and debug complex FPGA platforms from RTL, ensuring performance, robustness and maintainability
• Develop and integrate hardware and software blocks, as well as automation tools and scripts to improve productivity and user experience
• Provide expert-level technical support to internal users, analyze complex issues and propose long-term, scalable solutions
• Act as a primary technical interface with EDA tool vendors and IP providers, driving technical discussions and tracking issue resolution
• Contribute to technology watch, evaluate new tools and share best practices across teams
