Quantum Machines is a global leader in control systems for quantum computing, a field on the verge of exponential growth.

Our innovative hardware and software mark a groundbreaking approach in quantum computer control, scaling from individual qubits to expansive arrays of thousands.

At the core of QM lies a passionate and ambitious team committed to reshaping the construction and operation of quantum computers. Our work is fueled by a deep understanding of customer needs, driving us to deliver unparalleled solutions in this revolutionary field.

We are looking for a hands-on FPGA Design Engineer, specialized in high-performance digital design and FPGA-based system development, as part of the QM-Platform team.

This role involves ownership of FPGA interfaces and connectivity logic, including high-speed communication blocks, platform integration, and close collaboration with embedded and hardware teams. You will work on complex FPGA/SoC platforms, enabling robust and scalable solutions for quantum control systems.

Responsibilities

• Own the design and implementation of FPGA-based interfaces such as PCIe, I2C, SPI, and high-speed GT communication.
• Develop and integrate FPGA logic on advanced platforms, including Xilinx UltraScale+ and Versal.
• Collaborate closely with embedded, hardware, and system teams to ensure seamless HW/SW/FPGA integration.
• Drive FPGA bring-up, debugging, and validation at both lab and system levels.
• Participate in system architecture definition and cross-team design decisions.

Must-Haves

• 3+ years of experience in FPGA design and digital system development.
• Strong proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design.
• Hands-on experience with Xilinx FPGA families (UltraScale+, Zynq, or Versal).
• Experience implementing and debugging high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, JESD, or similar).
• Solid understanding of FPGA development flows, including synthesis, place & route, and timing closure.
• Experience with lab debugging tools (e.g., ILA/ChipScope, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).
• Experience with simulation and verification methodologies (RTL and gate-level).
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• B.Sc. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams.

 Advantages

• Experience with Versal architecture, including NoC design and integration.
• Background in ASIC design or verification.
• Familiarity with FPGA backend flows and static timing analysis (STA).
• Scripting experience (Python, TCL, Makefile) and/or C/C++ knowledge.
