About the Role

As an FPGA Designer, you will join the R&D Digital Design team and contribute to the development of FPGA/ASIC‑based processing modules for broadband telecom systems — including packet processing, synchronization, and timing architectures.

You will transform system‑level requirements into efficient, high‑performance logic implementations, working closely with system engineering, hardware, and embedded firmware teams.

This role offers hands‑on involvement across the full FPGA development lifecycle: architecture definition, simulation, synthesis, timing closure, and hardware validation.

Responsibilities

• Analyse algorithmic and logic‑level requirements and define efficient hardware implementations.
• Contribute to the definition and documentation of functional specifications for FPGA/ASIC logic blocks.
• Design, simulate, and verify digital circuits using HDL (VHDL or Verilog).
• Implement and optimise digital processing functions in FPGA/ASIC devices, ensuring:
• Timing closure
• Functional robustness
• Participate in laboratory bring‑up and hardware validation activities.
• Support embedded firmware teams during FPGA–software integration.
• Collaborate with system and validation teams to resolve integration issues.

Key Requirements

• Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering or Telecommunications Engineering
• 1–3 years of experience in FPGA/ASIC design flows
• Strong knowledge of digital circuit design using VHDL or Verilog
• Experience with programmable logic platforms (Xilinx/AMD or Altera)
• Understanding of:
• Data processing algorithms
• Phase and frequency synchronization
• Telecom‑oriented signal chains
• Good written and spoken English

Preferred Qualifications

• Programming skills in C, TCL, or Python.
• Experience with timing analysis, constraint definition, and synthesis optimisation.
• Familiarity with simulation tools (ModelSim, Questa, XSIM).
• Exposure to high‑speed interfaces and related constraints.
• Understanding of embedded architectures interacting with FPGA logic.
• Basic laboratory skills for digital hardware validation.

Why Join Us?

• Innovative Projects. You will engage with industry‑leading technologies in a company deeply committed to 5G/6G, AI and digital advancements.
• Global Impact. Your work will support major networks worldwide, contributing to connectivity and digital transformation on a global scale.
• Excellence. You will be driven and supported by a continuous process aimed to reach excellence.
• Growth Opportunities. You will work on challenging projects in an international organization. Our ongoing transformation opens doors to significant professional and personal growth.
• Dynamic Culture. You will join a collaborative, flexible and inclusive team that values every contribution and celebrates diversity.
