FPGA Design Engineer

About the Role

Description Quantum Machines is a global leader in control systems for quantum computing, a field on the verge of exponential growth. Our innovative hardware and software mark a groundbreaking approach in quantum computer control, scaling from individual qubits to expansive arrays of thousands. At the core of QM lies a passionate and ambitious team committed to reshaping the construction and operation of quantum computers. Our work is fueled by a deep understanding of customer needs, driving us to deliver unparalleled solutions in this revolutionary field. We are looking for a hands-on FPGA Design Engineer, specialized in high-performance digital design and FPGA-based system development, as part of the QM-Platform team. This role involves ownership of FPGA interfaces and connectivity logic, including high-speed communication blocks, platform integration, and close collaboration with embedded and hardware teams. You will work on complex FPGA/SoC platforms, enabling robust and scalable solutions for quantum control systems. Responsibilities • Own the design and implementation of FPGA-based interfaces such as PCIe, I2C, SPI, and high-speed GT communication. • Develop and integrate FPGA logic on advanced platforms, including Xilinx UltraScale+ and Versal. • Collaborate closely with embedded, hardware, and system teams to ensure seamless HW/SW/FPGA integration. • Drive FPGA bring-up, debugging, and validation at both lab and system levels. • Participate in system architecture definition and cross-team design decisions. Requirements Must-Haves • 3+ years of experience in FPGA design and digital system development. • Strong proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design. • Hands-on experience with Xilinx FPGA families (UltraScale+, Zynq, or Versal). • Experience implementing and debugging high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, JESD, or similar). • Solid understanding of FPGA development flows, including synthesis, place & route, and timing closure. • Experience with lab debugging tools (e.g., ILA/ChipScope, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers). • Experience with simulation and verification methodologies (RTL and gate-level). • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. • B.Sc. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent. • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams. Advantages • Experience with Versal architecture, including NoC design and integration. • Background in ASIC design or verification. • Familiarity with FPGA backend flows and static timing analysis (STA). • Scripting experience (Python, TCL, Makefile) and/or C/C++ knowledge.
