Senior Logic Design Engineer

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

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?

• Flexible working hours
• Home office option
• 5 weeks of holiday
• 5 sick days
• Multisport Card
• Meal allowance
• Internal trainings including workshops and seminars
• Paid certifications and technical as well as soft-skills training
• Possibility to participate in international conferences
• Fresh fruit, coffee, and a weekly company breakfast in the office
• Loyalty bonus after 5, 10, 15 and more years with the company
• Referral bonus programme
• Corporate events including team building, outdoor activities, Christmas party, health week, summer ice cream, and more
• Hybrid and remote working options available across our Czech offices in Prague, Hradec Králové, and Zlín
