Job description

About the Role:

We are looking for an experienced FPGA Engineer to join an innovative engineering team developing high-performance electronic systems for industrial vision applications.

You will be responsible for the design, development, optimisation and validation of FPGA-based solutions for high-speed, data-intensive systems, working closely with multidisciplinary hardware and software teams to deliver reliable, high-quality products.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop and optimise FPGA architectures for high-speed data processing and industrial vision applications.
• Develop and verify digital logic using VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog.
• Perform simulation, synthesis, timing closure, debugging and on-hardware validation.
• Work with high-speed interfaces and technologies, including DDR memory, PCI Express, Ethernet and video processing.
• Use FPGA development environments such as AMD/Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus.
• Develop scripts and automation tools using Python, Tcl or shell scripting.
• Collaborate with hardware and software engineers to ensure effective system-level integration.
• Troubleshoot technical issues and contribute to continuous product improvement.

Requirements:

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Engineering or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• At least 5 years of experience in FPGA design and development, ideally within high-speed or data-intensive systems.
• Strong practical knowledge of VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog.
• Experience with FPGA simulation, synthesis, optimisation, timing closure and hardware validation.
• Knowledge of at least one of the following: DDR memory interfaces, PCIe, high-speed Ethernet, video processing or video codecs.
• Familiarity with AMD/Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus development toolchains.
• Experience with debugging tools, version control and scripting languages such as Python, Tcl or shell.
• Professional proficiency in English; French is an advantage.

What’s on Offer:

• The opportunity to work on innovative industrial vision technology.
• A technically challenging role involving high-speed FPGA design and advanced data processing.
• Collaboration with experienced multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Hybrid working arrangements, with up to two days per week working remotely. Fully remote working is not available.
