Job Title: FPGA Engineer
Role Summary: Design, develop, test, and deliver FPGA-based solutions across the product lifecycle, from concept to production, supporting a range of high‑speed communication and signal‑processing applications.
Expectations: 2+ years FPGA engineering experience or research‑heavy PhD, strong academic foundation, customer‑facing technical role.
Key Responsibilities:
- Capture requirements and define system architecture in collaboration with cross‑functional teams.
- Design and implement FPGA firmware, including high‑speed serial/SerDes, PCIe, Ethernet, MIPI, DDR interfaces.
- Develop and validate DSP and signal‑processing algorithms (filters, correlators, demodulators).
- Perform firmware debugging, testing, and verification using hardware simulators and on‑chip tools.
- Integrate and test FPGA devices (RFSoc, MPSoc) with embedded ARM CPUs.
- Document design specifications, test procedures, and user guides.
- Collaborate on hardware schematic capture, PCB layout, and component procurement.
- Provide technical support to customers and internal stakeholders during development and production stages.
Required Skills:
- FPGA design and firmware development (VHDL/Verilog, SystemVerilog).
- High‑speed digital interfaces (Serial, SerDes, PCIe, Ethernet, MIPI, DDR).
- Signal‑processing algorithms (DSP, filtering, demodulation).
- Embedded software development (C/C/C#, Python, MATLAB, Simulink).
- Electronics hardware design, schematic capture, and testing.
- RF/Microwave simulation and design knowledge (up to 5 GHz).
- Experience with Altera/Intel (Xilinx) FPGAs and ARM‑based SoCs.
- Communication protocol design and implementation.
- Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and documentation skills.
Required Education & Certifications:
- PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field OR 2+ years FPGA engineering experience.
- Willingness to obtain UK security clearance.
