SENIOR SOC & FPGA ARCHITECT (w/m)

 

We are looking for an experienced and highly driven Senior SoC & FPGA Architect to help define NanoXplore's next generations of SoC & FPGA platforms.

Working at the intersection of system architecture, silicon design and product strategy, you will drive key technology decisions and contribute to products supporting some of Europe's most demanding programs.

 

YOUR MISSION :

  • Define the architecture and technical roadmap of NanoXplore's next-generation SoC and FPGA platforms, driving design decisions across processing, programmable logic, memory, connectivity, security and high-speed I/O subsystems;
  • Translate market, customer and product requirements into scalable semiconductor solutions;
  • Evaluate complex performance, power, area, reliability and cost trade-offs, in close collaboration with FPGA, ASIC, software, verification, validation and product teams;
  • Contribute to FPGA fabric evolution and platform-level innovation;
  • Lead architecture studies, feasibility analyses and performance modelling activities;
  • Participate in strategic customer discussions and technical reviews;
  • Support silicon bring-up, validation activities and architecture-related investigations;
  • Mentor engineers and promote architectural best practices across engineering teams;
  • Technical challenges you will tackle:
  • Next-generation SoC and FPGA architectures;
  • Integration of embedded processing subsystems;
  • High-speed communication interfaces and memory subsystems;

  • Performance, power and area optimization;
  • Scalable architectures across multiple product generations;
  • Long-life, mission-critical and Space/Defense-grade platforms.

 

YOUR PROFILE :

  • Strong analytical skills and sound judgement on system-level architectural trade-offs;
  • Excellent problem-solving and decision-making skills;
  • Strong technical leadership with a clear ownership mindset and accountability for deliverables;
  • Ability to work effectively in cross-functional and multicultural teams, to influence and align multidisciplinary engineering teams (English required).

 

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE :

  • Education: Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Microelectronics, Embedded Systems or equivalent;
  • 10+ years of experience in semiconductor FPGA, ASIC or SoC architecture;
  • Proven track record of defining and delivering complex SoC, FPGA or ASIC architectures from concept through silicon realization and production;
  • Strong knowledge of processor-based architectures, embedded systems and heterogeneous computing platforms;
  • Deep understanding of FPGA technologies and programmable logic architectures;
  • Experience with AMBA protocols, interconnect architectures, NoC designs and memory subsystems;
  • Strong knowledge of DDR memories, cache architectures and data movement optimization;
  • Experience with high-speed connectivity technologies such as PCIe, Ethernet, SerDes and other high-speed interfaces;
  • Practical understanding of hardware/software co-design methodologies;
  • Experience in Space, Aerospace, Defense and other safety-critical environments is a strong plus;
  • Familiarity with security architectures, secure processing environments and trusted computing concepts is appreciated.

 

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

  • Contract type: Permanent (CDI) — Full time
  • Location: Sèvres (92), Jacou (34), Meylan (38) or Caen (14), depending on your location
  • Up to 2 days of remote work per week
  • Package: salary according to profile & experience + internal benefits
  • Start date: as soon as possible

Bridging the gap between silicon and software, the Embedded Systems team designs the low-level tools that make NanoXplore’s FPGAs truly usable and powerful. 





Their core mission : developing the main SDK (Software Development Kit), firmware, and all embedded components that enable seamless configuration, control, and integration of our devices. From bootloaders and drivers to board support packages and diagnostic tools, they ensure our chips speak the right language whether on a satellite, in a defense system, or in a test environment. Their work is foundational : without it, nothing runs. 





What sets them apart is their ability to think system-wide. They work closely with hardware teams and application engineers, adapt to evolving specs, and support real-world use cases with reliability and reactivity. 
They’re not just writing code : they’re building the ecosystem around our FPGAs.





Driven by curiosity and precision, it’s a team where autonomy meets collaboration, and where each line of code contributes to something bigger : making advanced microelectronics accessible and operational for the most demanding applications.
