Real-Time FPGA DSP Engineer – Drone Communications

Fast‑growing start‑up building autonomous defence systems. We are excited to be supporting a fast‑growing start‑up building autonomous defence systems, who are looking to add an FPGA Engineer to their R&D team in Paris. This role offers the opportunity to work on real‑time wireless communication systems, collaborating closely with embedded and RF engineers on cutting‑edge signal processing challenges.

As the FPGA Engineer, you’ll be responsible for developing high‑performance DSP pipelines for drone‑to‑base station links. You’ll be involved throughout the full FPGA development lifecycle—from early prototyping to production‑ready deployment.

• FPGA design and development (VHDL/Verilog)
• Strong understanding of digital signal processing (FFT, QAM, FSK, OFDM)
• Experience with FEC techniques (LDPC, Turbo), DUC/DDC, and AGC
• Familiarity with RF system integration and real‑time constraints
• Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering
