About the role

We are seeking a seasoned FPGA Architect with a minimum of 10 years of experience to lead the design and development of FPGA-based platforms that support internal testing and validation of our precision, high-performance MEMS timing products. This role is critical to developing robust infrastructure for frequency measurement, low phase noise and low jitter characterization, production, and system-level validation Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
  • 10+ years of hands-on experience in FPGA architecture and development (Xilinx, Intel/Altera, or similar)
  • Deep expertise in Verilog/VHDL, simulation tools (ModelSim, Vivado, etc.), and scripting (Python, TCL)
  • Proven track record in designing systems with low jitter, low phase noise, and high signal fidelity
  • Strong understanding of timing analysis, clock domain crossing, and high-speed interfaces (PCIe, DDR, SERDES)
  • Experience with lab bring-up, debugging tools (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes), and test automation
More about this role

SiTime is the Precision Timing company.

Timing is the heartbeat of all electronics, ensuring performance, resilience and scalability. For decades, quartz devices, non-silicon technology, have kept systems in sync, but they struggle in harsher, more demanding environments. MEMS-based Precision Timing delivers greater accuracy, smaller size and resilience. Today, MEMS timing powers over 400 applications, including high-growth ones in AI datacenters, automated driving, industrial and humanoid robots, wearables and IoT.

Our semiconductor MEMS programmable solutions offer a rich feature set that enables customers to differentiate their products with higher performance, smaller size, lower power, and better reliability. With more than 4 billion devices shipped, SiTime is changing the timing industry. For more information, visit www.sitime.com
