FPGA Senior Designer - Concepteur FPGA Senior in Montréal

We are looking for a Senior FPGA Designer to join a team building the next generation of wireless ASICs and SoCs powering products such as audio headsets, speakers, mice, proximity detection, ranging, and IoT devices. In this role, you will lead the design and implementation of complex digital circuits within ASICs—covering architecture definition, RTL coding, synthesis, timing analysis, and close collaboration with verification and physical design teams. You will own critical design blocks or subsystems, ensure performance and power efficiency, and mentor junior engineers.

Missions & Responsibilities

• Define ASIC architecture: functional blocks, data paths, and interfaces (performance, area, and power tradeoffs).
• Write high-quality RTL code (Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL) that is maintainable and spec-compliant.
• Perform synthesis and static timing analysis (STA), resolving timing-critical paths and optimizing design.
• Collaborate with verification teams: provide documentation, testbench support, and debugging.
• Guide and review the work of digital designers, ensuring quality standards.
• Apply power-aware design techniques (clock gating, power domains, leakage reduction).
• Work with the physical design team on constraints, layout reviews, and timing issues.
• Take ownership of assigned design blocks/subsystems, ensuring timely delivery.
• Contribute to design reviews and lead digital validation efforts.
• Mentor and transfer knowledge within the team.

Profile Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).
• 10+ years in digital ASIC circuit design, including 5+ years in a senior role.
• Strong understanding of digital logic design (combinational/sequential circuits, FSMs, CDC).
• Proficiency in RTL coding (Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL), with parameterized design and assertions.
• Experience with EDA tools for simulation, synthesis, and STA.
• Familiarity with the ASIC design flow (RTL → synthesis → P&R → STA → post-silicon validation).
• Knowledge of DFT techniques.
• Scripting with Python.
• Familiarity with AMBA bus interconnects.
• Lab debugging experience (protocol/logic analyzers, oscilloscopes).
• Problem-solving skills for complex design challenges.
• Excellent collaboration and communication across cross-functional teams.
• Leadership and mentoring experience in ASIC design projects.

Why choose us

• An international community bringing together more than 110 different nationalities.
• An environment where trust is central: 70% of our leaders started their careers at the entry level.
• A strong training system with our internal Academy and more than 250 modules available.
• A dynamic work environment that frequently comes together for internal events (afterworks, team buildings, etc.).
