FPGA Architect

Job Title: FPGA Architect

Location: Rijswijk, Netherlands

Type: Permanent

Brief:

We are seeking a seasoned FPGA Architect with a minimum of 10 years of experience to lead the design and development of FPGA-based platforms that support internal testing and validation of our precision, high-performance MEMS timing products. This role is critical to developing robust infrastructure for frequency measurement, low phase noise and low jitter characterization, production, and system-level validation

Responsibilities:

Architect and implement scalable FPGA solutions for internal hardware platforms used in MEMS timing product testing

Lead cross-functional technical initiatives involving CMOS design, MEMS design, systems and test engineering, validation, and production teams

Define and drive system-level requirements, ensuring alignment across hardware, software, and test domains

Own the full FPGA lifecycle: architecture, RTL design, simulation, synthesis, timing closure, and bring-up

Develop reusable IP blocks and maintain a modular, maintainable FPGA infrastructure

Champion design reviews, documentation standards, and continuous improvement practices

Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and influence strategic direction across multiple programs

Requirements:

MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field

10+ years of hands-on experience in FPGA architecture and development (Xilinx, Intel/Altera, or similar)

Deep expertise in Verilog/VHDL, simulation tools (ModelSim, Vivado, etc.), and scripting (Python, TCL)

Proven track record in designing systems with low jitter, low phase noise, and high signal fidelity

Strong understanding of timing analysis, clock domain crossing, and high-speed interfaces (PCIe, DDR, SERDES)

Experience with lab bring-up, debugging tools (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes), and test automation
