Design additional custom FPGA RTL for protocol interfaces and feature enablement. Release stable platforms to the firmware team and keep them working as the design evolves. * Develop and extend custom python tooling to interface with the FPGA platform. * Debug FPGA and post-silicon issues using tools such as JTAG debuggers, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and multimeters. * Drive post-silicon bring-up and validation in the lab, run the validation suites on first silicon, meet bring-up exit criteria on schedule, and debug platform issues such as JTAG failures, UART connectivity, and boot failures alongside the design, firmware, hardware and security teams. * Root-cause failing post-silicon tests to closure, collecting and analyzing scan dumps for low-level issues such as boot ROM and built-in self-test bugs, coordinating cross-team debug, and delivering fixes such as handling fatal errors, correcting driver access violations, and reconciling registers modified by boot firmware., Work Arrangement Fully On-Site: Must be able to travel to an Arrow Client office location as requested by Arrow Client leadership. ## Related Videos - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [JavaScript?
