Our FPGA Design team is rapidly growing! We are seeking talented FPGA Design Engineers to work on a wide range of projects, including advanced signal processing systems (Image / Radio), core embedded processing systems, and safety and security critical systems.

Your role will involve all phases of the FPGA design life cycle, from requirement inception through to a validated design. This offers the opportunity to influence design, push use of latest technologies, and interact with wider multidisciplinary teams while leveraging latest tools and technologies from top FPGA vendors.

Ideally, you are educated to degree level (or equivalent qualification) with experience in the majority of the following areas:

• Generating complex FPGA architectures and design implementations using VHDL, Simulink, etc., targeting Xilinx, Intel, and Microsemi devices.
• Verifying complex FPGA implementations using VHDL and System Verilog/UVM test-bench methodologies.
• Proficiency in FPGA design toolsets and Mentor verification tools (Questa Sim & Model Sim).
• Strong skills in generating low-level software (C) for FPGA test and integration with embedded systems.
• Ability to configure and document designs to a high professional standard.

Some roles may require an elevated level of security clearance. Candidates may need to undertake DV (Developed Vetting) to deliver the role.
