This is an opportunity to join a global team developing ultra-low latency technology.

You will oversee all aspects of FPGA system design, driving advancements to ensure my client maintains its technological advantage by building the next generation of infrastructure.

• Architecting and implementing RTL designs on high-end FPGAs (Xilinx / Intel).
• Performing simulation, synthesis, P&R, and timing analysis for ultra-low-latency systems.
• Leading the definition of micro-architectures and verification environments.
• Driving technical excellence across the FPGA team through mentorship and code reviews.
• Collaborating with firmware, software and infrastructure teams to optimise full-stack performance.

• 7+ years’ FPGA / RTL design experience in timing-critical systems.
• Strong background in System Verilog, synthesis, timing closure and verification.
• Hands-on with Vivado / Quartus or equivalent tool chains.
• Familiarity with AXI, PCIe, Ethernet or custom high-speed interfaces.

• Exposure to high-performance computing, networking or real-time data systems.
• Knowledge of C/C++ or Python for tooling, verification or firmware collaboration.
• Appreciation for hardware–software co-design and system-level optimisation.
