FPGA technology plays a key role in enabling the flexibility, performance, and real-time capabilities required by these new architectures.\nTechnica is a product-oriented company, that continuously reinvest to stay ahead of the curve, and our interdisciplinary team is focused on the development of company own products roadmap and on innovative R&D electronics development projects with major customers.\nWe’re looking for someone with at least 2 years of hands-on FPGA development experience who wants to take real ownership of technical challenges and grow within a highly multidisciplinary environment.\nWe value people who are curious to dig deep into how our hardware products work and are comfortable navigating complex electronic designs. Someone who is self-driven, takes initiative, and is not afraid to explore unfamiliar problems, challenge assumptions, or step beyond the boundaries of the role when needed. Just as importantly, we are looking for a strong team player who works closely with the development team and helps move topics forward.\nMAIN FUNCTIONS\nDesign, develop, simulate, and test FPGA modules for automotive connectivity and computing applications.\n\nImplement FPGA firmware for in-house hardware platforms, with a strong focus on functionality, reliability, maintainability, and scalability.\n\nParticipate in the complete FPGA development lifecycle, from requirements and architecture definition through implementation, simulation, integration, and validation.\n\nWork closely with hardware engineers in the development of FPGA-based electronic assemblies, including schematic reviews, FPGA-related component selection, pinout definition, and layout constraints.\n\nCollaborate with hardware, software, and system engineers to integrate and validate FPGA designs within complete products.\n\nPerform laboratory testing, debugging, and optimization of FPGA designs and hardware platforms.\n\nUse simulation and on-chip debugging tools to identify and solve functional and timing-related issues.\n\nCreate and maintain technical documentation for FPGA modules, interfaces, architectures, and test procedures.\n\nContribute to improving FPGA development, verification, and automation methodologies within the team.\n\nTake ownership of assigned technical topics, proactively identify blockers, propose solutions, and drive them through implementation and validation.\n\nDevelop prototypes and proof-of-concepts to evaluate new technologies, architectures, and ideas.\n\nSupport product launch by aligning generated technical documentation to sales and customer-facing field support teams.\n\nWHAT WE OFFER\nA clear opportunity for professional growth in FPGA and digital hardware design, working on increasingly complex architectures and products.\n\nA truly cross-functional engineering environment where FPGA, hardware, software, embedded systems, and system engineering work closely together.\n\nFull flexibility to manage hybrid work model, depending on the tasks.\n\nCompany culture oriented to research engineering and a clear reinvestment mindset in research and know-how acquisition.\n\nOpportunity to work at the forefront of innovation in automotive industry within a company working as pure R&D partner for main European OEMs.\n\nHigh diversity of state-of-the-art projects with technologies 3-4 years beyond what is currently in series production vehicles.\n\nOpportunity to work in an international environment within a diverse team. International mobility options are available to discuss case-by-case.\n\n30 working days as holidays, with full flexibility to manage them.\n\nPrivate health insurance.\n\nRegular team building activities with specific company budget.\n\nOpportunity to further expand your training, from personal abilities to technical areas.\n\nFor additional information in case you want to know more about us, check our website: https://technica-engineering.de/en/\nRequirements\nSKILLS\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.\n\n2-4 years of hands-on experience in FPGA design and development.\n\nDesirable experience with AMD/Xilinx or Altera/Intel FPGA devices and their associated development environments, such as Vivado or Quartus.\n\nSolid working knowledge of VHDL, and desirable basic know-how of Verilog and/or SystemVerilog.\n\nKnow-how of FPGA simulation tools such as ModelSim, QuestaSim, Vivado Simulator, or equivalent.\n\nKnow-how of using embedded FPGA debugging tools such as SignalTap, ChipScope/ILA, or equivalent.\n\nFundamental understanding of the complete FPGA design flow, including synthesis, place & route, timing analysis, and debugging.\n\nFamiliarity with hardware/software co-design, embedded processors, or SoC FPGA architectures.\n\nDesirable know how about clock-domain crossing architectures, reset architectures, timing constraints, and timing closure.\n\nDesirable working experience with high-speed digital interfaces, DDR memories, or FPGA high-speed transceivers.\n\nDesirable working experience with communication technologies such as Ethernet or PCI Express.\n\nDesirable knowledge of AXI-Stream and AXI-MM protocols and their practical implementation.\n\nDesirable knowledge of video or high-bandwidth data transmission architectures.\n\nFamiliarity with version control systems such as Git and collaborative development workflows.\n\nComfortable working with laboratory equipment and debugging FPGA designs directly on hardware.\n\nStrong problem-solving skills and genuine curiosity to understand how systems work beyond the immediate FPGA module.\n\nSelf-driven and autonomous working style, with the ability to take ownership of technical topics and move them forward.\n\nDesirable experience in start-up or scaling growth environments.\n\nFluency in local languages and working fluency in English.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6412,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced
