The brief
An FPGA Engineer is wanted for an aerospace project. You'll take designs from requirements to working silicon: architecture, VHDL, simulation, implementation and hardware bring-up. If you like owning the whole lifecycle and chasing bugs down to the waveform, this is for you.
What you'll do
Own the full FPGA lifecycle, from requirements and architecture through VHDL RTL, synthesis and place-and-route to on-target validation
Build and run simulation test benches in Model Sim/Questa Sim to prove designs before they hit hardware
Debug in simulation and on real boards, isolating timing, CDC, logic and integration faults
Write design documentation fit for high-assurance programmes
Work with systems, hardware and software engineers to integrate FPGA functionality into the wider platform
Contribute to design reviews and sharpen engineering process
What you need
VHDL: strong, production-grade RTL
Vendor tool chains:
Xilinx, Altera or Microsemi
Full lifecycle FPGA design and development
Model Sim / Questa Sim for simulation and verification
FPGA debugging: hands-on, in sim and in hardware
