# FPGA Architect

- **Company:** Q Tech
- **Location:** Barcelona, Spain
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** C++ (Programming Language), Digital Electronics, Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), Static Timing Analysis, SystemVerilog
- **Published:** July 16, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.jobleads.com/es/job/ea7e8ad1c8f06128836645de8acd20faa

## About the Role

* 7+ years of experience in digital electronics / FPGA
 * Proven experience as an FPGA Architect
 * Solid background in validation, simulation, and timing
 * Collaborative, with strong technical judgment

Why this could be interesting

 * Highly complex product with real impact in cutting-edge industries
 * Deep technical challenges (not maintenance or trivial legacy work)
 * Growth phase with strong product expansion

## Description

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 thinking (not delivery-driven)
 * SystemVerilog (core)
 * FPGA validation, simulation, static timing analysis
 * C++ environment (understanding HW/SW interaction is key)
