Job Overview

Microchips FPGA software engineering team develops the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software used by our customers to program Microchip FPGAs. Customers perform their entire FPGA design flow using our software: from design entry to synthesis, through place-and-route, timing, power analysis, and simulation. Customers use our FPGA software development IDE to develop bare-metal and RTOS-based C/C software targeting RISC-V processors on Microchip System-on-Chip (SoC) FPGAs.

The PolarFire System software engineering team is developing the next generation system-level design software for Microchips RISC-V based SoC FPGAs. This involves the development of a range of tools, from Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) to software libraries to compilers. We are completely redesigning our software development IDE using the Theia framework (https://theia-), which looks like VSCode and is developed using modern web technologies (TypeScript, React, HTML, CSS). The new PolarFire System IDE streamlines the system-level design process by offering an intuitive graphical interface for compiling, verifying, and integrating SoC designs.

As an engineer in the PolarFire System team (Engineer I - Software), you will be joining an agile, fast-paced engineering team, where you will solve highly challenging problems. You will have ownership over meaningful new software projects from inception to development, testing, writing user documentation, and releasing to Microchip FPGA customers. The PolarFire System IDE is a high priority project that will go into production in 2025/2026, and will be a major contributor to PolarFire Systems success.

The software engineering team is based in Toronto. The Microchip office is in the downtown financial core at 67 Yonge Street.
