We are looking for a technically strong, execution-focused Product Owner to take end-to-end responsibility for a specific FPGA product line—starting from concept to post-silicon validation. The role centers on engineering ownership, delivering optimized, customer-ready silicon solutions for applications in Industrial Vision and Health (IVH) and beyond.

You are a collaborative, detail-oriented and highly adaptable professional who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment. Strong communication, problem-solving and ownership mindset are critical to navigating the complexities of product development while aligning technical outcomes with customer needs.

• Product Inception & Definition Phase
  • Propose new FPGA-based products aligned with market and application needs (e.g., IVH).
  • Develop product definitions with inputs from architecture, marketing and engineering.
  • Drive initial costing, resource planning and schedule estimation.
  • Present new product proposals for approval with technical and business justifications.
• Development & Execution
  • Partner with architecture, physical design (PD) and verification teams to manage trade-offs across cost, power, performance and schedule.
  • Support engineering execution from front-end RTL development through back-end implementation.
  • Drive cross-functional alignment and issue resolution throughout the silicon development cycle.
  • Collaborate on design choices involving IPs, protocols and System Verilog-based hardware design.
• Post-Silicon & Validation
  • Ensure robust test plans and validation strategies are in place before silicon return.
  • Oversee characterization, validation and silicon debug processes.
  • Gather and integrate feedback from marketing and technical marketing teams for product alignment with customer expectations.
  • Identify validation gaps and lead cross-team resolution.
• End-to-End Product Readiness
  • Own the complete solution lifecycle, from definition to validated, customer-adaptable silicon.
  • Ensure deliverables are cost-effective, high-performing and time-to-market optimized.
  • Enable solution-level readiness by coordinating with hardware, software and customer support teams.

• Proven track record in hardware product development—from concept to post-silicon validation.
• Deep understanding of FPGA, IP or ASIC design and verification processes.
• Hands‑on experience with System Verilog, digital design methodologies and protocol integration.
• Familiarity with front‑end and back‑end flows, including synthesis, P&R, timing closure and verification.
• Solid grasp of customer requirements, solution trade-offs and system-level thinking.
• Comfortable working across multi-disciplinary teams in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
• Strong scripting and automation skills to support design and validation flows.

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Engineering / Electrical Engineering.
