About the position
Microchip Technology FPGA Business group is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Security Architect to join our dynamic team. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance IP integrations into our FPGA products, that meet market & customer requirements across a broad range of use cases & application spaces. This position is in the Silicon Architecture team of Microchip's FPGA Division. Microchip is a major supplier of low-power, highly-reliable and highly-secure field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Our FPGAs are used in a wide variety of use cases & applications, including embedded vision; digital signal processing; machine learning; industrial and medical equipment; satellites; and diverse defense applications. Microchip is also a pioneer in embedding RISC-V processors in FPGAs. The successful applicant will work as part a core team to develop future FPGA device products and will collaborate with other engineering disciplines to model, develop, verify, and integrate security components such as hard IP blocks (esp. cryptographic accelerators), hard & soft IP solutions, that interoperate with overall device and system configuration and security features to deliver secure and performant FPGA products.
