We're currently partnering with a global engineering-driven company (focused on test & measurement, communications, quantum computing, etc.) that is building one of the most advanced real-time synchronization systems in the market.
They are looking for a Senior FPGA Architect to join their R&D team in Barcelona.
The technical challenge
You would be working on a product that enables multiple instruments (each with its own FPGA) to behave as a single, tightly synchronized system in real time.
We’re talking about:
Distributed systems with multiple FPGAs
Deterministic execution with phase coherence
Synchronization and communication across thousands of channels
Use cases in quantum computing, radar, 5G/6G, and MIMO systems
This is not an isolated IP problem — it’s a system-level architecture challenge.
The role
They’re looking for someone with strong architectural thinking who still enjoys being hands-on.
Define FPGA architecture aligned with the overall system
Decide what belongs in hardware vs software
Design synchronization and communication layers across FPGAs
Collaborate closely with software teams (C++) and technical stakeholders
Translate complex use cases into real solutions
Stay involved in implementation (~50% hands-on)
The team
Barcelona-based R&D team, highly international (40+ nationalities)
Close collaboration with US-based teams
Working alongside another very senior FPGA engineer
Strong engineering culture, focused on quality and long-term th
