Principal FPGA Micro-Architect
Lattice Semiconductor · San Jose, CA · Posted today
"Shape the fabric architecture of next-generation FPGAs aimed at Physical AI, robotics, space, and data center markets, from concept through silicon validation."
Energy feeds on energy. If you flourish in a fast paced, results-oriented environment, if you want to achieve individual success within a “team first” organization, and if you believe you can contribute and succeed in a demanding yet collegial atmosphere, then Lattice may well be just what you’re looking for.
Job Description: We are seeking a Principal FPGA Micro-Architect with deep expertise in programmable logic fabric design and a track record of delivering next-generation FPGA devices from concept to silicon. You will define and drive the micro-architecture of Lattice's FPGA fabric primitives, optimizing for power, performance, area, and utilization across device families. You will shape the architecture of next-generation FPGAs targeting Physical AI, Robotics, Space, Data Centers, and edge applications — markets where Lattice's low-power leadership is a decisive advantage.
Key Responsibilities
· Define micro-architecture of core fabric primitives: Programmable Logic Elements, DSP blocks, embedded memory blocks, interconnect routing, configuration memory, carry chains, and clocking structures · Drive fabric PPAU (power, performance, area, and utilization) optimization; evaluate implementation and routing feasibility and drive design trade-offs for modularity and scalability across device generations · Develop SystemC/C++ architectural models to drive performance analysis and evaluate fabric design trade-offs ahead of RTL/schematic availability · Lead advanced low-power fabric design including clock and power islands, power gating, dual-rail architectures, and dynamic power mode switching · Drive software primitive definition and implementation strategy, ensuring fabric elements are optimally mapped to CAD tools and customer design flows for maximum usability · Partner with architecture, DV, firmware, and CAD teams across the full product lifecycle from concept through silicon validation and post-silicon debug · Apply agentic AI methodologies to scale and accelerate micro-architecture exploration and design execution
