We're currently partnering with a integral 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 a Senior FPGA Architect to 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 in quantum computing, radar, 5 G/6 G, and MIMO systems

This is not an isolated IP problem — it's a system-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

System Verilog (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 judgment

Why 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
