Senior logic design engineer

Ciklum is looking for a Senior Logic Design Engineer to join our team in Spain.

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:

As a Senior Logic Design Engineer, you'll become a part of a cross-functional development team engineering experiences of tomorrow.

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.

In this role, you will contribute to the development of next-generation FPGA and ASIC-based control platforms. You will design and optimize high-performance digital logic with stringent latency and timing requirements, working closely with system architects, verification engineers, software developers, and hardware specialists in an international engineering environment.

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, static timing analysis (STA), 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?

• Care: your mental and physical health is our priority. We ensure comprehensive company-paid medical insurance and 4 additional undocumented sick leave days
• Tailored education path: boost your skills and knowledge with our regular internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy license, language courses and company-paid certifications
• Growth environment: share your experience and level up your expertise with a community of skilled professionals, locally and globally
• Flexibility: Own your schedule – you are the one to decide when to start your working day. Just don’t miss your regular team stand-up. We are there to support your work-life balance and provide 23 vacation days & short Fridays
• Opportunities: we value our specialists and always find the best options for them. Our Internal Mobility Program helps change a project if needed to help you grow, excel professionally and fulfill your potential
• Global impact: work on large-scale projects that redefine industries with international and fast-growing clients
• Welcoming environment: feel empowered with a friendly team, open-door policy, informal atmosphere within the company and regular team-building events
