Location: Paris
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Hardware, Embedded & Systems Engineering

Key Responsibilities

  • •Lead the architecture and high-level design of low-latency FPGA-based signal-processing solutions, working on demanding wireless and high-performance signal chains (e.g. modulation schemes, FFT/OFDM, channel coding, synchronization, equalization), often close to the RF front-end.
  • •Own the full FPGA development cycle end to end, from early feasibility and architectural choices through implementation, validation, and delivery of robust, production-ready designs.
  • •Perform system-level analysis and simulations to validate architectural decisions, understand real-world performance limits, and ensure the wireless link behaves as expected under constraints.
  • •Design and maintain effective test benches and validation frameworks to reliably test complex DSP pipelines, quickly identify issues, and shorten debug and integration cycles.
  • •Work closely with hardware and embedded software teams to ensure clean, reliable integration of FPGA designs into the complete system.

Key Requirements

  • •Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, or a related field. A PhD is a plus.
