Senior FPGA Systems Architect & Tech Leader

Enclustra; Zürich; Hybride; CHF 140 000 - 190 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Enclustra, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, seeks a Staff Engineer - FPGA Systems Architecture to lead the definition and architecture of complex FPGA-based systems spanning hardware, firmware, and embedded software domains.

You will drive system-level design from requirements to prototype delivery, align with customer and product needs, and define scalable high-performance architectures for FPGA/SoC modules and end-to-end solutions. Fluency in English is required.

Qualifications

• Strong background in FPGA-based solution architecture, including SoC/MPSoC platforms and heterogeneous systems.
• Proven experience across the full development lifecycle: specification → design → implementation → validation → production
• Deep understanding of high-speed digital design and interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, SerDes)
• Embedded systems and real-time processing
• Digital signal processing and/or data acquisition systems
• Experience with HDL (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog) and system-level modeling tools (MATLAB/Simulink or similar)
• Familiarity with FPGA vendor ecosystems (AMD/Xilinx, Intel) and toolchains
• Knowledge of system integration challenges across hardware, firmware, and software stacks

Responsabilités

• Lead the definition and architecture of complex FPGA-based systems, spanning hardware, firmware, and embedded software domains
• Drive system-level design from requirements capture through architecture, implementation, and prototype delivery, aligned with customer and product needs
• Define scalable, high-performance architectures for FPGA/SoC modules and end-to-end solutions
• Act as technical authority for cross-disciplinary engineering teams (hardware, firmware, software)
• Collaborate with customers and internal stakeholders to translate application requirements into robust system architectures
• Guide trade-off analyses (performance, cost, power, timing, reliability) for FPGA-based solutions
• Ensure system integration across high-speed interfaces, embedded processing, and digital signal processing pipelines
• Contribute to and review system specifications, design documentation, and verification strategies
• Support the development of reusable architectures and design methodologies across projects
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to senior engineers and project teams
• Participate in pre-sales and solution definition activities, helping shape proposals and customer engagements
• Drive continuous improvement of engineering processes, tools, and architectural best practices
