FPGA Architect / Technical Lead – Hands-On, Altera Components, Terabit-Scale

Radar Defense Company | Full-Time | On-site
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior FPGA Architect to lead the technical development of high-performance radar systems, built on Altera (Intel FPGA) components operating at terabit-scale processing speeds. The role combines full architectural ownership with hands-on RTL work.
You'll lead architecture definition from the ground up, through RTL implementation, simulation, and verification, to bring-up and full integration with hardware, RF, algorithms, and software — on mission-critical defense radar systems.
What You'll Do

Lead and design complex multi-FPGA architectures based on Altera/Intel FPGA, meeting extremely high processing-rate requirements (terabit-scale)
Write hands-on RTL (VHDL/Verilog) for critical modules while providing technical leadership to the team
Design and implement high-speed interfaces: PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, JESD204B/C, Serial Transceivers/SerDes
Work on real-time signal processing and RF systems, including ADC/DAC integration
Own Timing Closure, CDC, and resource optimization at the full system level
Collaborate closely with hardware, RF, MCU, algorithms, and software teams in a multi-interface environment

What We're Looking For

15+ years of experience in FPGA development, including significant time in an architectural/technical leadership role
Deep, hands-on experience with Altera (Intel FPGA) components — required
Full proficiency in Quartus Prime and ModelSim
Proven experience designing complex multi-FPGA architectures
Experience with high-speed interfaces at high data rates (400G/800G, PCIe Gen5/6, JESD204B/C, SerDes)
Experience with real-time signal processing and RF/sensor systems
Knowledge of Digital Beamforming — a significant advantage
B.Sc. in Electrical/Electronics or Computer Engineering

Why Join Us
A small, senior, highly professional team, with real technical ownership of the product. Work on cutting-edge technology at the performance frontier, at a company with direct impact on critical defense radar capabilities.
Job Type: Full-time
Work Location: In person
