Senior Logic Design Engineer

Ciklum is looking for a Senior Logic Design Engineer to join our team full-time in Romania.

We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.

About the role:

We are looking for an experienced Senior Logic Design Engineer to contribute to the development of next-generation FPGA and ASIC-based control platforms.

In this role, you will design and optimize high-performance digital logic with stringent latency and timing requirements. You will work closely with system architects, verification engineers, software developers, and hardware specialists in an international engineering environment.

Our client is an innovative technology company developing advanced control and measurement systems for quantum computing. Its hardware and software platforms enable precise, real-time control of complex quantum systems, supporting the evolution of quantum computing from individual qubits to large-scale architectures.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement complex, configurable, low-latency RTL modules using SystemVerilog
• Develop digital logic for high-performance FPGA and ASIC applications, including signal processing, waveform generation, and real-time control
• Participate in the complete RTL development lifecycle, from architecture and microarchitecture definition to implementation and verification
• Optimize RTL designs for timing, latency, resource utilization, and power efficiency
• Perform logic synthesis, timing analysis, and optimization to meet design constraints
• Collaborate with verification engineers to ensure functional correctness and comprehensive test coverage
• Analyze system-level and software requirements and implement appropriate hardware-software interfaces
• Integrate proprietary digital IP into complex FPGA/ASIC architectures
• Participate in design reviews, debugging, and continuous improvement of engineering processes

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience
• 4+ years of professional experience in FPGA or ASIC digital logic design
• Strong practical experience in RTL development using SystemVerilog (mandatory)
• Solid understanding of digital logic design, computer architecture, and RTL microarchitecture
• Experience with logic synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), and timing optimization
• Practical experience with FPGA or ASIC design and implementation workflows
• Understanding of clock-domain crossing (CDC), synchronous digital design, and hardware interfaces
• Experience with simulation-based RTL verification and debugging
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
• English proficiency sufficient for effective collaboration within an international engineering team

Desirable:

• Experience with AMD/Xilinx FPGA platforms, particularly AMD Versal
• Experience with AMD Vivado and related FPGA implementation tools
• Familiarity with Synopsys VCS, Siemens Questa, or equivalent simulation tools
• Experience with digital signal processing (DSP), waveform generation, or high-speed data acquisition
• Experience developing deterministic, ultra-low-latency digital systems
• Familiarity with AXI, PCIe, DDR, or other high-performance hardware interfaces
• Experience with ASIC-oriented RTL development and reusable digital IP
• Knowledge of Python, Tcl, or other languages used for development automation
• Experience with hardware-software co-design and embedded systems
• Experience in quantum computing, telecommunications, measurement equipment, or other performance-critical digital systems

What’s in it for you?

• Strong community: Work alongside top professionals in a friendly, open-door environment
• Growth focus: Take on large-scale projects with a global impact and expand your expertise
• Tailored learning: Boost your skills with internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy access, language courses, and company-paid certifications
• Endless opportunities: Explore diverse domains through internal mobility, finding the best fit to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies
• Enjoy radical flexibility – work remotely or from an office, your choice
• Care: Medical subscription to Regina Maria, meal tickets of 40 ron net/day worked
