FPGA Engineer - Open RAN Radio Unit

About the role

Eridan is looking for a mid-level FPGA Engineer to join its team and help develop and evolve its Open RAN Radio Unit (RU) platform. The role suits someone who combines solid FPGA expertise with a strong understanding of digital signal processing and compute architectures, particularly in AI-driven systems.

Key responsibilities

• Design, develop and integrate FPGA-based solutions for Open RAN Radio Units.
• Implement and optimise digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms for high-performance compute applications.
• Work with Xilinx (AMD) FPGA technologies, including Zynq-based platforms; Versal experience is a plus.
• Integrate and validate designs using Vivado, ensuring timing closure, proper routing and correct backend implementation.
• Collaborate with system and software teams to turn algorithmic requirements into efficient hardware implementations.
• Contribute to feature development and enhancements of existing ORAN RU products.
• Take part in board bring-up, debugging and hardware validation, and analyse performance bottlenecks across FPGA and system-level designs.

Required profile

• 3-6 years of experience in FPGA design and development.
• Strong understanding of DSP concepts and their hardware implementation, and solid knowledge of compute architectures with interest in AI/ML acceleration on FPGA.
• Good digital design principles and RTL design (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog) and simulation workflows.
• Familiarity with timing closure, synthesis and place-and-route processes.
• Experience with hardware debugging tools, board bring-up, scripting and Linux environments.

Required skills

• Xilinx (AMD) tools and platforms, especially Vivado and Zynq; Siemens Questa simulation tools.
• Git, GitHub and continuous integration principles.
• Nice to have: Xilinx Versal platforms, telecommunications background, Open RAN architecture and protocols, and high-speed interfaces such as Ethernet, PTP, SyncE and JESD204.

What we offer

• Salary range of EUR 3,500 to EUR 4,300 plus benefits.
• Work on new technology with a significant impact on global infrastructure.
• A flexible environment where you can learn, develop and advance.
• Collaboration with smart, passionate colleagues and company-wide celebration of progress.
