Fortaegis is a fast-scaling, highly ambitious and cutting-edge semiconductor company. We are looking for a System Integration Architect to own the physical integration of all system components-hardware, FPGA, firmware, and userspace applications. Ensure deployability and reproducibility. This role takes the artifacts built by CI/CD and ensures they run on real hardware in a clean, repeatable way. We are looking for candidates with not only an exceptional skillset, but also an exceptional mindset, willing to go above and beyond to make our breakthrough
product even better.

• Assembles and maintains the physical test setups.

• Flashes and deploys bitstreams, firmware, and software onto boards.

• Ensures test environments are stable, identical, and ready for QA.

• Assemble and maintain the hardware test setups: boards, power supplies, cables, network, and sensors.

• Flash bitstreams and firmware using JTAG, UART bootloaders, SD-card builders, etc.

• Perform board bring-up when new hardware revisions arrive.

• Document the flashing process and create standard deployment procedures.

• Maintain bench equipment and lab automation tools.

• Provide stable, reproducible environments for testing (e.g., reset rigs, programmable PSUs, fan controllers, automated switches).

• Prepare golden images and system images for QA.
