A fast-scaling Quantum computing company are growing their engineering team and are looking for an experienced and well-rounded FPGA engineering professional. As an FPGA Engineer, you will join an electrical engineering team to develop state-of-the‑art FPGA platforms powering neutral atom quantum computers. Working closely with the quantum hardware and software teams, you will design, implement, and optimize real‑time control and data acquisition systems that enable precise, nanosecond‑level manipulation of individual atoms. Your contributions will directly impact the performance, scalability, and capability of our quantum computing architecture, helping to unlock new quantum algorithms and applications.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement SystemVerilog/Verilog modules for advanced quantum control systems, including:
Real‑time distributed signal acquisition and generation using high‑speed ADCs and DACs
Integration of high‑speed vision interfaces such as CameraLink, CoaXPress, DisplayPort, or HDMI
Development of comprehensive testbenches and simulation frameworks in SystemVerilog/Verilog and/or Python (cocotb)
Co‑design of memory‑mapped firmware and software for PS–PL interfaces on SoCs
Design of robust clocking and trigger architectures for synchronized, multi‑board systems

Qualifications & Experience

Required:

3+ years of FPGA development experience (or 1+ year with a Master’s degree)
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
Strong proficiency in synthesizable SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL and functional verification
Experience achieving timing closure and performing static timing analysis across multiple high‑speed clock domains
Prior experience in signal or image processing, or control systems engineering
Deep understanding of ARM AXI4, AXI‑Stream, and AXI‑Lite bus protocols
Experience developing firmware for SoCs using ARM, RISC‑V, or PC400 architectures
Ability to collaborate effectively with experimental physicists and engineers in an interdisciplinary environment

Preferred / Additional Skills

Experience working with high‑bandwidth ADC/DACs (>1 GSPS)
Familiarity with high‑speed camera acquisition and in‑memory image processing
Hands‑on experience with Xilinx SoC devices and tools such as Vivado and Vitis/SDK
Knowledge of embedded OS and BSP generation using Yocto or PetaLinux
