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
