FPGA Engineer - Electronic Warfare, Real-Time DSP

Harmattan AI; Paris; Hybride; EUR 70 000 - 110 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Harmattan AI is seeking an FPGA Engineer within our Electronic Warfare team to design and implement real-time DSP that turns raw RF into actionable effect—from receiver channelization and threat detection to jamming waveform generation.

You will own the RTL at the heart of our EW and SIGINT systems, collaborating with RF hardware, embedded software and algorithm teams to move a signal chain from concept to silicon and into the field.

Qualifications

• Strong RTL design background in VHDL or SystemVerilog for signal-processing datapaths.
• Solid DSP fundamentals: sampling, mixing, decimation, filter design, FFT, and fixed-point arithmetic.
• Hands-on experience with SoC FPGAs and their toolchains.
• No prior Electronic Warfare experience required.
• Experience with JESD204B/C interfaces and multi-channel synchronization is a definite plus.
• Experience with algorithm-to-RTL workflows (MATLAB/Simulink, Python modelling, or HLS) is a plus.
• Lab experience with RF instrumentation — spectrum analyzer, vector signal generator, oscilloscope — is a plus.
• MSc in Electrical / Electronics Engineering, Signal Processing or related field.
• Broad engineering culture with understanding of RF hardware, embedded software and system-level trade-offs.
• Rigorous, structured and mission-driven mindset with strong analytical skills.

Responsabilités

• RTL Design & Implementation: Design and implement signal-processing datapaths in VHDL or SystemVerilog; digital down-conversion, channelizers, filtering, FFT and detection chains.
• Real-Time DSP in Fabric: Implement detection, direction-finding, classification and waveform generation under hard latency budgets.
• RF & Data Converter Interfacing: Own the digital interface to RF front-end—JESD204B/C, multi-channel clocking, synchronization and calibration.
• Hardware/Software Partitioning: Define split between programmable logic and on-chip processors and interfaces.
• Timing Closure & Resource Budgets: Drive constraints, timing closure, and resource/power budgets.
• Bring-up, Integration & Validation: Lead FPGA bring-up on new boards and bench validation with RF instrumentation.
• Technical Coordination: Collaborate across RF hardware, embedded, GNC and ML teams.
• System Reviews & Documentation: Contribute to design/architecture reviews and ensure traceability.
