FPGA Engineer

................
For our client in Vienna (AT), we are looking for an experienced FPGA Engineer to contribute to the development of an advanced hardware and software platform for particle accelerator systems.
In this role, you will design and implement FPGA-based solutions for real-time control, high-speed data communication, and synchronized operations within a technically demanding and regulated medical-device environment.
Your Tasks:
Design, develop, and integrate FPGA-based embedded systems using Xilinx Zynq platforms
Develop and maintain FPGA firmware frameworks, register maps, and hardware/software interfaces
Implement and optimize PCIe communication and FPGA-to-Linux integration, including efficient data transfer and DMA mechanisms
Design and implement high-speed optical communication interfaces, including Fiber Link MAP, GT transceivers, and custom communication protocols
Optimize communication performance with a focus on bandwidth, latency, and reliability
Contribute to the development of real-time measurement, control, and synchronized timing systems for particle accelerator components
Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software engineers to ensure seamless integration into a unified control platform
Support verification, testing, and technical documentation in accordance with regulated EU medical-device development processes


Your Profile:
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a comparable technical discipline
Strong hands-on experience in FPGA development, particularly with Xilinx Zynq-based embedded platforms
Solid understanding of FPGA firmware architectures, register maps, and hardware/software integration
Practical experience with PCIe interfaces, FPGA-to-Linux communication, and DMA-based data transfers
Strong knowledge of high-speed optical links, GT transceivers, and communication protocol development, ideally including Fiber Link MAP
Experience in optimizing FPGA communication systems for high throughput and low latency
Familiarity with embedded Linux and/or bare-metal environments is an advantage
Experience with real-time systems, synchronization, or timing-critical applications is beneficial
Knowledge of regulated development environments, ideally within the medical-device industry, is a plus
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills combined with a structured and collaborative working approach
Good communication skills in English or German
