Application Specific Integrated Circuit Design Engineer

We’re representing a venture-backed silicon photonics startup building high-performance PICs for next-generation AI infrastructure. They’re looking for an FPGA engineer to help prototype and validate a novel photonic memory system by building high-bandwidth digital interfaces between compute logic and optically connected memory. Experience with: FPGA RTL design and architecture (Verilog / SystemVerilog / VHDL) High-speed digital interfaces (SERDES, PCIe, Ethernet, or similar) High-throughput data pipelines and streaming architectures Timing closure and performance optimization on modern FPGA platforms Nice to have: Experience with FPGA-based hardware bring-up and system validation Work with optical transceivers or high-speed networking hardware Background in accelerator systems, SmartNICs, or HPC FPGA platforms Familiarity with AI/ML inference pipelines or high-bandwidth compute workloads Remote-friendly (US) with preference for Bay Area proximity. #J-18808-Ljbffr
