Career

We are now looking for a System Hardware Architect to join our R&D team in Espoo.

This senior role combines deep hands-on expertise with system-level thinking. You will take ownership of hardware architecture from concept to production, make key architectural and component-level decisions, and work closely with our hardware, FPGA, firmware and software professionals.

What will you be working on?

As System Hardware Architect, you will play a key role in shaping Unigraf’s hardware platforms and their future development.

You will:

• define system and subsystem architectures, interfaces and technical requirements
• take ownership from concept and feasibility through prototyping, verification and production
• make architectural and component-level decisions considering performance, power consumption, cost, reliability, risk and manufacturability
• work with high-speed digital hardware, FPGA/SoC-based platforms and complex embedded systems
• ensure signal integrity, power integrity, EMC, testability and HW/SW interfaces are considered in the overall design
• define bring-up, verification and validation approaches and manage system-level hardware risks
• drive the hardware technology roadmap and evaluate new technologies, components and supplier solutions
• lead design reviews and support and mentor experienced hardware engineers.

The role combines hands-on expertise with system-level ownership and technical leadership. You should enjoy diving into engineering details while also seeing and influencing the bigger picture.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for a senior hardware professional with 10+ years of experience in hardware design and development, ideally in demanding product development environments.

We expect you to have:

• a relevant technical degree, preferably M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or similar
• strong hands-on experience in hardware and PCB design, ideally including FPGA-based boards and complex high-speed designs
• solid understanding of digital and analog circuit design, PCB manufacturing, high-speed digital signaling, signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), power conversion and EMC
• good knowledge of FPGA and/or SoC technologies, including high-speed transceivers and SerDes
• familiarity with AI-assisted design and development workflows
• a proven track record of taking complex hardware products from concept to production
• experience in technical ownership, design reviews and guiding other engineers
• ability to make sound trade-offs between performance, reliability, cost, schedule and manufacturability
• excellent spoken and written English.

You should also have good knowledge of at least one major technology ecosystem, such as FPGA, SoC, CPU/GPU, PCIe, DisplayPort, HDMI, USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi/BT or MIPI.

Finnish language skills are considered an advantage but are not required.

Nice to have

Experience in one or more of the following is considered an advantage:

• FPGA application design and/or ASIC integration
• manufacturing processes and supply chain
• thermal, mechanical, acoustical or optical design
• software/firmware architectures, state machines and protocols

You do not need to be an expert in every area. What matters is the technical breadth and judgement to understand the system as a whole.

Why Unigraf?

At Unigraf, we offer:

• challenging projects with leading international electronics companies
• an experienced and collaborative R&D team
• the opportunity to genuinely influence products and their technical direction
• a flexible hybrid work model
• occupational healthcare, lunch and sports benefits
• free parking, an on-site gym and lunch restaurant.

• Strong understanding of FPGA architecture, digital logic design, Timing Closure, and Clock and Reset Domain Crossing (CDC/RDC)
• Experience with Altera Quartus and/or Xilinx Vivado across the FPGA development flow, including synthesis, simulation, place-and-route, and timing closure
• Experience with common interfaces such as DDR3/4, I2C, SPI, and RS232
• Experience developing testbenches with Modelsim/Questa and debugging FPGA designs using on-chip and laboratory debugging tools
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

Would Be a Plus:

• Experience with DisplayPort and HDMI
• Experience with high-speed communication interfaces such as PCIe and USB
• Experience with high-speed FPGA transceivers (PMAs and PCSs)
• Knowledge of general hardware design
• Knowledge of C/C++, bare-metal software, and scripting (bash, TCL, Python)
• Knowledge of Jira and Git

Why Join Us?

At Unigraf, you will have the opportunity to take on technically challenging FPGA development and work across the development lifecycle from design to real hardware. You will have room to use your expertise, solve complex technical problems and influence how Unigraf’s products evolve.
