Staff Hardware Design Engineer

A well-established semiconductor client is looking for a Staff Hardware Design Engineer to join their R&D team in Montigny-le-Bretonneux.

The company develops highly configurable interconnect IP used in advanced SoC designs across sectors like consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, and data centres.

This is a senior-level role suited to engineers with strong digital design experience, particularly in system-level architecture and IP integration. You’ll take ownership of complex hardware components, working closely with international design and verification teams to deliver high-quality, production-ready IP.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading the architecture and development of configurable IP blocks used in SoC and NoC designs.
• Contributing to the design methodology, improving design quality and maintainability.
• Collaborating with software and hardware teams to ensure smooth integration and alignment across the product stack.
• Supporting the verification strategy and helping refine simulation and regression flows.
• Acting as a senior point of contact within the team on design decisions and technical challenges.

What They’re Looking For

• A strong background in digital hardware design with hands‑on experience across architecture, RTL design, and integration.
• Familiarity with standard SoC protocols such as AMBA, PCIe, or CXL, and experience with CPU architectures like ARM or RISC‑V.
• Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog and scripting (e.g. Python, C++) for automation and testing.
• A proactive, team‑oriented approach with good communication skills.
• A technical degree (Master’s or PhD) in Electronics, Computer Engineering, or similar.
