Our FPGA Design team is rapidly growing. We are seeking FPGA Design Engineers to work on projects ranging from advanced signal‑processing systems (image / radio) to core embedded processing and safety‑critical security systems.

Your role will involve all phases of the FPGA design life cycle, from requirement inception to a validated design. You will influence design decisions, apply the latest technologies, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams while leveraging top FPGA vendor tools.

Ideally you are a degree‑level graduate (or equivalent) with experience in 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 testbench methodologies.
• Proficiency with FPGA design tools and Mentor verification tools (Questa Sim & Model Sim).
• Generating low‑level software (C) for FPGA test and integration with embedded systems.
• Configuring and documenting designs to a high professional standard.

Please note: Some roles require elevated security clearance; candidates may need to undergo DV (Developed Vetting).

We recognise that everyone is unique and encourage you to speak to us if you require advice, support or adjustments throughout the recruitment process.
