Firmware Engineer | Cambridge | Hybrid | £35-45k DOE | Medical Devices

We're partnering with a market-leading biotech & biomedical research company.

Here, you'll play a key role in development, working across FPGA and embedded firmware development, you'll design and implement high-performance digital hardware, develop low-level software, and contribute throughout the full product development lifecycle.

There is a clear progression route to senior engineering roles here, so you'll be joining a company that cares about your development, and will give you real project ownership from day one.

This is an opportunity to work on technically challenging products that directly support cutting-edge scientific research in neuroscience, physiology and biomedical.

Job Responsibilities

* Design, develop and verify FPGA functionality using VHDL for high-performance data acquisition and signal processing systems.

* Develop embedded software in C to control hardware, implement low-level functionality and interface with FPGA-based systems.

* Collaborate with hardware and software engineers to integrate, test and optimise new features across complex electronic products.

Technical Requirements

* Strong commercial experience using VHDL.

* Strong programming skills in C for embedded systems or low-level hardware control.

* Experience designing and debugging digital electronic systems, including hardware/software integration.

* Familiarity with FPGA development environments such as AMD/Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus.

* Experience with communication interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, USB or Ethernet.

* Degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering or a closely related discipline.
