Descripción de la oferta
We're currently partnering with a global engineering-driven company (focused on test & measurement, communications, quantum computing, etc.) that is building one of the most advanced real-time synchronization systems in the market.
They are looking for aSenior FPGA Architectto join their R&D team in Barcelona.
The technical challenge
You would be working on a product that enables multiple instruments (each with its own FPGA) to behave as a single, tightly synchronized system in real time.
We’re talking about:
Distributed systems with multiple FPGAs
Deterministic execution with phase coherence
Synchronization and communication across thousands of channels
Use cases inquantum computing, radar, 5G/6G, and MIMO systems
This is not an isolated IP problem — it’s asystem-level architecture challenge.The role
They’re looking for someone with strong architectural thinking who still enjoys being hands-on.
Define FPGA architecture aligned with the overall system
Decide what belongs in hardware vs software
Design synchronization and communication layers across FPGAs
Collaborate closely with software teams (C++) and technical stakeholders
Translate complex use cases into real solutions
Stay involved in implementation (~50% hands-on)The team
Barcelona-based R&D team, highly international (40+ nationalities)
Close collaboration with US-based teams
Working alongside another very senior FPGA engineer
Strong engineering culture, focused on quality and long-term thinking (not delivery-driven)Tech stack
SystemVerilog (core)
Xilinx / Vivado
FPGA validation, simulation, static timing analysis
C++ environment (understanding HW/SW interaction is key)What they’re looking for
7+ years of experience in digital electronics / FPGA
Proven experience as an FPGA Architect
Strong system-level design mindset
Solid background in validation, simulation, and timing
Collaborative, with strong technical judgmentWhy this could be interesting
Highly complex product with real impact in cutting-edge industries
Deep technical challenges (not maintenance or trivial legacy work)
International, engineering-driven environment
Growth phase with strong product expansion
