FPGA Engineer - Control Systems

Job Title

FPGA Engineer - Control Systems

Role Summary

Design and implement low-latency FPGA control and signal-processing subsystems for quantum computers. Deliver RTL through hardware-in-the-loop validation, optimize designs for latency, resource use, and timing closure, and collaborate with physicists and software engineers to meet system requirements.

Experience Level

Mid-level — the posting requires experience designing or verifying digital logic for FPGAs or ASICs; no specific years of experience listed.

Responsibilities

Primary duties focus on FPGA implementation and validation of real-time control systems for multi-channel RF waveform generation and adaptive execution.

• Design and implement low-latency waveform generation and signal-processing logic on FPGAs.
• Enable sub-nanosecond synchronization across many RF channels and support microsecond-timescale adaptive execution.
• Develop and verify RTL; perform hardware-in-the-loop validation and subsystem bring-up.
• Optimize RTL and platform firmware for latency, resource use, and timing closure.
• Work with multi-clock-domain, high-throughput designs and ensure timing and functional correctness.
• Collaborate with physicists, software engineers, and hardware teams to translate system requirements into FPGA implementations.

Requirements

Key qualifications and preferred experience.

• Must-have: Experience with digital logic design or verification for FPGAs or ASICs; hands-on RTL development and verification experience.
• Proven ability to optimize designs for low latency, timing closure, and efficient resource usage.
• Experience working with multi-clock-domain, high-throughput FPGA designs.
• Preferred: Familiarity with Xilinx/AMD RFSoC platforms or similar RF-capable FPGA platforms.
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop validation and taking prototype designs to production-ready subsystems.
• Strong collaboration skills to work across physics, software, and hardware teams.

Education Requirements
