FPGA Engineer

Location: Ottawa, ON (on-site) Employment type: Full-time permanent Salary range: $105,000 – $145,000 CAD per year About Q-Block Computing: Q-Block Computing builds quantum systems that operate in the real world. The company develops quantum timing, quantum-secure communications, and quantum computing platforms engineered for the performance, reliability, and environmental resilience that mission-critical applications demand — systems designed to be deployed, maintained, and trusted by operators who cannot afford ambiguity about whether the technology works. The long-term vision is deeper than any single platform.

Q-Block is pursuing a mission to decode Nature's foundational model — to build instruments of sufficient precision and coherence that they become tools for understanding the physical universe at its most fundamental level. Commercialization and science reinforce each other by design. About this role: The FPGA Engineer designs and implements the real-time processing and control logic that sits closest to Q-Block's quantum hardware — the fabric that acquires, synchronizes, and acts on signals at speeds and determinism the software stack alone cannot reach.

The work spans RTL design and verification, high-speed ADC/DAC and serial interfaces, real-time DSP pipelines, and sub-microsecond timing and synchronization across multi-channel and multi-node systems. The successful candidate is an RTL engineer who is fluent in both design and verification, comfortable carrying a
