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 (or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, or a related field.
  • •5+ years of hands-on FPGA development experience, with end-to-end ownership from architecture and design to validation and deployment (VHDL and/or Verilog).
  • •Strong, first-principles understanding of digital signal processing, with real experience implementing complex DSP pipelines on FPGA (e.g. modulation, FFT/OFDM, channel coding, synchronization, equalization).
  • •Proven experience in low-latency, real-time environments, making informed trade-offs between latency, performance, precision, power, and resources.
  • •Ability to lead FPGA and signal-processing architecture at system level and integrate designs with hardware and embedded software teams (RF or equivalent signal chains).
