System Architect – FPGA / Zynq / Edge Data Processing

Tel Aviv (Azrieli area) | Full-time, On-site

A Tel Aviv–based startup is looking for a hands-on System Architect to own the end-to-end architecture of advanced FPGA-based electro-optical and sensing systems.

The role includes architecture, definition and optimization of on-edge data processing pipelines (real-time), from requirements through integration and validation.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end system architecture of FPGA-based electro-optical and sensing platforms.
• Define and design real-time on-edge data processing pipelines, including signal acquisition, preprocessing, filtering, and hardware acceleration.
• Lead architecture of systems based on Xilinx Zynq / Zynq UltraScale+ SoC (PS + PL partitioning).
• Define HW/FW/SW interfaces across FPGA fabric, ARM cores, sensors and external subsystems.
• Architect low-latency signal processing flows for high-throughput sensing applications (e.g., radar, EO, multi-sensor systems).
• Support integration, validation and performance optimization at system level.

Requirements

• BSc in Physics / Electronics / Electro-Optics or equivalent.
• 5+ years of experience in system architecture / system engineering of electro-optical or sensing systems.
• Strong hands-on experience with Xilinx Zynq-based architectures (mandatory).
• Proven experience designing FPGA-based systems at architecture level, including PS/PL partitioning.
• Experience with real-time data processing on the edge (low latency, high bandwidth systems).
• Background in signal processing – preferably radar signal processing / sensing systems / DSP pipelines.
• Deep understanding of HW/FW/SW interfaces and system integration.
• Hands-on mindset and ability to work independently in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Xilinx Zynq / Zynq UltraScale+
• FPGA Architecture
• Edge Computing / Edge Data Processing
• Signal Processing (Radar – advantage)
• DSP / Filtering / Sensor Data Pipelines
• Real-Time Systems
• HW/FW/SW Co-Design
• System Integration & Validation
• Vivado / Vitis (advantage)
