Job Details
Technical Lead - FPGA & Real-Time Systems
We are looking for an experienced FPGA Technical Lead to guide high-performance design and development projects. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on technical direction rather than people management. You'll work closely with architects, hardware/software teams, and product leaders to deliver cutting-edge systems used in large-scale, real-time environments.
What You'll Do
What You Bring
Why Join
This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in developing next-generation FPGA solutions for high-volume, real-time applications. You'll have the chance to lead technically, solve complex challenges, and help shape products from concept to production.

You'll work closely with architects, hardware/software teams, and product leaders to deliver cutting-edge systems used in large-scale, real-time environments.
What You'll Do
- Lead FPGA design activities including RTL development, verification, and optimization.
- Collaborate with system and product architects to define design specifications.
- Drive efficiency and reliability in high-volume real-time processing (video, audio, or imaging).
- Ensure delivery milestones are met, flagging issues early and helping the team stay on track.
- Provide technical input on toolsets, methodologies, and best practices.
- Participate in design reviews, release planning, and technical hiring decisions.
- Mentor team members and contribute to knowledge sharing.
What You Bring
- 5+ years of FPGA & hardware development experience in production environments.
- Proven expertise in RTL design, FPGA building blocks, and high-speed interfaces (DDR4/5, PCIe, transceivers, PLLs).
- Strong Verilog/SystemVerilog coding and verification skills; familiarity with C/C++ is an asset.
- Hands-on experience with Xilinx (AMD) and Intel (Altera) FPGA devices and toolchains.
- Background in real-time systems (RTOS), ideally with video, audio, or imaging data.
- Knowledge of data compression, parallel processing, and 4K optimization.
- Experience building solutions for mass production, not just prototypes or research.
- Strong communication, organizational, and leadership skills.
- Degree in Engineering or related field (or equivalent technical experience).
