If you know someone that would be interested, please forward my email.
Any help you can give me would be much appreciated. This position is
located in Silicon Valley(near Cisco's campus).



I answered some common questions below the job description, so please
take a moment to read them.

multipliers. At the board level you are knowledgeable about
reference designs, device configuration, board integration, and signal
integrity. Work closely with the design engineering team to refine
product definition and ensure product usability. Run HDL designs on
the design platform, identify issues, collaborate with the development
team and drive resolution. Strong customer skills and contacts with
ability to demonstrate platforms and products, train customers,

- How much funding have we received?

- Is there a second round in the near future? Has it been closed?



We closed on our first round in May 2003. We met our milestones for
developing a business plan, developing our software/simulation
platform, and proving 2x better capabilities with customer designs.



We closed our second round in April 2004. We have top-notch VCs

Sequoia Capital, USVP, and Horizon with semiconductor savvy general
partners sitting on our board.



- Why this company?



Programmable logic is booming, taking over a bigger and bigger
proportion of the semiconductor market. We have a breakthrough
architecture that allows programmable logic to do things that it has
never done before.
