Company

hirify.global’s Software, IP and Solutions organization develops configurable intellectual property and embedded solutions that enable customers to use hirify.global FPGA devices efficiently and reliably.

What you will do

• Translate system, product, and customer-use-case requirements into architecture proposals, technical specifications, interface definitions, and acceptance criteria.
• Design, implement, integrate, and debug synthesizable RTL with Verilog and SystemVerilog for FPGA soft IP and embedded systems.
• Develop IP collateral, including register descriptions, constraints, integration guidance, simulation models, design examples, and technical documentation.
• Integrate and configure IP and subsystems using Quartus, Platform Designer, Visual Designer Studio, or equivalent FPGA design flows, accounting for timing, throughput, latency, power, clocking, reset, CDC/RDC, and resource trade-offs.
• Own verification strategies and plans; develop test benches, drivers, monitors, scoreboards, BFMs, assertions, functional coverage, and directed or constrained-random tests.
• Lead simulations, regressions, lint, CDC/RDC, synthesis, timing analysis, defect triage, failure root-cause analysis, release readiness, post-release support, and productivity improvements through automation and CI/CD.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 7 years of relevant experience in embedded systems, FPGA, RTL design, design verification, or a closely related engineering field; equivalent demonstrated expertise may be considered.
• Strong understanding of digital design, computer architecture, embedded systems, FPGA architecture, and hardware/software interaction.
• Experience creating or maintaining verification environments and test content using SystemVerilog, UVM, or equivalent methodologies.
• Experience with functional coverage, assertions, regression management, waveform analysis, and systematic failure triage.
• Proficiency in Python and/or other scripting languages, plus working knowledge of C or C++ for embedded or verification use cases.
• Experience with FPGA implementation and analysis flows, including Quartus or an equivalent FPGA toolchain.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, written, verbal, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Culture & Benefits

• Regular full-time employment based in Penang, Malaysia.
• Collaboration across geographically distributed engineering teams and sites.
• Opportunities to mentor junior engineers and interns and influence technical trade-offs across teams.
