Technical Lead – FPGA & Real-Time Systems

We are looking for an experienced FPGA Technical Lead to guide high-performance design and development projects. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on technical direction rather than people management. You’ll work closely with architects, hardware/software teams, and product leaders to deliver cutting-edge systems used in large-scale, real-time environments.

What You’ll Do

• Lead FPGA design activities including RTL development, verification, and optimization.
• Collaborate with system and product architects to define design specifications.
• Drive efficiency and reliability in high-volume real-time processing (video, audio, or imaging).
• Ensure delivery milestones are met, flagging issues early and helping the team stay on track.
• Provide technical input on toolsets, methodologies, and best practices.
• Participate in design reviews, release planning, and technical hiring decisions.
• Mentor team members and contribute to knowledge sharing.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of FPGA & hardware development experience in production environments.
• Proven expertise in RTL design, FPGA building blocks, and high-speed interfaces (DDR4/5, PCIe, transceivers, PLLs).
• Strong Verilog/SystemVerilog coding and verification skills; familiarity with C/C++ is an asset.
• Hands-on experience with Xilinx (AMD) and Intel (Altera) FPGA devices and toolchains .
• Background in real-time systems (RTOS), ideally with video, audio, or imaging data.
• Knowledge of data compression, parallel processing, and 4K optimization .
• Experience building solutions for mass production , not just prototypes or research.
• Strong communication, organizational, and leadership skills.
• Degree in Engineering or related field (or equivalent technical experience).

Why Join
This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in developing next-generation FPGA solutions for high-volume, real-time applications. You’ll have the chance to lead technically, solve complex challenges, and help shape products from concept to production .
