Salary:

Location: Montreal/Ottawa

Anyon Systems is a quantum computing company located in the Greater Montreal Region with a satellite office in Waterloo/Ottawa. We work at the cutting edge of technology to develop and commercialise superconducting quantum computers. The company is rapidly growing and has both hardware and software groups to achieve its goals.

We are looking for aSenior FPGA Designerwith deep expertise in digital design and FPGA development to lead complex projects.
The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing, implementing, and verifying FPGA-based systems for high-performance applications. You will work closely with cross-functional teams including hardware, software, and systems engineers to deliver robust and efficient digital solutions.
You will be working within our Quantum Control Electronics Team
to develop next-Gen of control electronics for large scale QPUs. You will focus on developing firmware and software drivers along with development of automation tools for debug.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop FPGA architectures using VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog.

• Implement digital signal processing (DSP), control logic, high-speed interfaces such as JESD204B & JESD204C and network interfaces such as gigabit ethernet.

• Perform simulation, synthesis, place-and-route, and timing analysis.

• Integrate FPGA designs with embedded systems and microcontrollers.

• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to define system requirements.

• Conduct verification and validation of FPGA designs using testbenches and lab equipment.

• Optimize designs for performance, power, and resource utilization.

• Document design specifications, test procedures, and results.
  

Qualifications:

• Proven experience in FPGA design and development (3+ years preferred).

• Proficiency in VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.

• Experience with FPGA development tools (e.g., Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, ModelSim).

• Strong understanding of digital logic, timing constraints, and hardware debugging.

• Familiarity with communication protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, Ethernet).

• Ability to read schematics and work with hardware lab tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).

• Experience with high-speed data acquisition and processing.

• Knowledge of embedded C/C++ for FPGA-software integration.

• Familiarity with scripting languages (Python, TCL) for automation
  (preferred)

• Experience with simulation and verification methodologies.

• Experience with version control systems (Git, SVN).

• Exposure to ASIC design flow is a plus.

• Strong teamwork capabilities, excellent organization and communication skills.

• Candidates must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada or hold an Open Work Permit
