Staff Logic Design Engineer

About Teledyne LeCroy

Teledyne LeCroy is a global leader in protocol analysis and test solutions for high-speed serial data communications. Our high-speed protocol analyzers are trusted by top-tier semiconductor and system companies to validate and debug cutting-edge technologies in data centers, AI/ML, storage, and networking.

Role Overview

We are looking for a top-notch Staff Logic Design engineer who has the right composition of knowledge, experience, team play, spirit and drive, to join a dynamic team that develops leading edge test and measurement products. Join our high-speed Protocol Team as a Staff Logic Design Engineer, where you'll architect and implement high-performance digital logic for protocol capture, analysis, and emulation. You’ll work on FPGA-based systems that decode and analyze High speed protocols (PCIe, USB, Ethernet etc.) in real time, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver industry-leading solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• RTL Design & Microarchitecture
• Develop synthesizable RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog) for high-speed protocol, packet parsing, timestamping, and buffer management.
• Design high-throughput data paths and control logic optimized for latency, bandwidth, and resource efficiency.
• Perform synthesis, P&R, timing closure, and resource optimization for target high-end FPGAs (Xilinx Versal, Intel Agilex).
• Integrate PCIe IP cores, DMA engines, and custom protocol decoders.
• Verification & Debug
• Build SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches for block and system-level verification.
• Conduct simulation, waveform analysis, and functional coverage to ensure robust design.
• System Integration
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software teams to bring up and validate protocol analyzer platforms.
• Support lab debug using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and in-system FPGA tools (ILA/SignalTap).

Required Qualifications

• BS in EE, CS or Computer Engineering required
• MS in EE is a plus
• 7+ years of experience in digital logic design for FPGA or ASIC
• Strong proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design
• Experience with one or more of the following protocols: PCIe, CXL, NVMe, USB, SAS, SATA
• Experience with Monitoring and/or Test & Measurement tools
• Experience with PCIe protocol (Gen4/Gen5/Gen6) and familiarity with TLP/DLLP/PHY layer concepts
• Hands-on with FPGA toolchains (Vivado, Quartus, etc.) and timing closure
• Knowledge of UVM, assertions, and simulation/debug tools (e.g., ModelSim, Vivado Simulator)
• Solid understanding of CDC, clock domain design, and reset strategies

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with protocol analyzers, packet capture, and timestamping logic
• Familiarity with AXI interconnects, memory controllers, and high-speed buffering
• Exposure to SERDES, PCIe IP integration, and link training/debug
• Scripting experience (Python, Tcl) for automation and test infrastructure
• Experience with hardware/software co-design, register maps, and embedded firmware interaction
• Prior work in test & measurement or semiconductor validation environments
