Senior FPGA Engineer

• Lead the design, implementation, and verification of advanced FPGA architectures for RF signal processing, high-throughput data handling, and real-time logic.
• Develop for AMD/Xilinx RFSoCs (e.g., Zynq UltraScale) and Intel FPGAs (e.g., Agilex), including integration with high-speed ADCs/DACs.
• Support test and lab evaluation using signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
• Lead or contribute to the implementation of designs using VHDL, SystemVerilog, and MATLAB/Simulink HDL Coder.
• Develop C/C++ software for deployment to embedded systems.
• Use industry-standard tools such as Vivado, Quartus, and ModelSim for simulation, synthesis, and implementation.
• Drive design verification, unit testing, documentation, and best practice in FPGA development.
• Act as a technical expert in reviews, solution development, and internal consultation across teams.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across FPGA projects.
• Engage with stakeholders to capture requirements and ensure technical solutions align with project and business needs.

This is a collaborative and hands-on role suited for someone with considerable experience in FPGA design and a passion for developing signal processing systems to address complex, real-world challenges. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, serving as a technical lead in the design and delivery of systems that include RF signal chains, high-speed digital interfaces, and real-time DSP. Your contributions will influence key architectural decisions, tackle integration challenges, and help shape the development of reconfigurable hardware for mission-critical environments.

We prioritize the wellbeing of our employees, supporting them in reaching their full potential through comprehensive wellbeing programs and policies. Our non-negotiables include the requirement that all candidates be UK Nationals eligible to obtain and maintain UK Government SC-level security clearance.

• Proven experience in DSP algorithm development on FPGA architectures to deliver designs for real-time, high-speed, or RF-centric systems.
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and HDL Coder for algorithm-to-hardware workflows.
• Proven ability to develop and deploy on Xilinx RFSoC (e.g., Zynq UltraScale) and/or Intel Agilex/Stratix platforms.
• Experience in line management of junior team members.
• Familiarity with using laboratory equipment for digital hardware/firmware design testing (e.g., oscilloscopes, signal generators, and logic analyzers).

We are growing our Electronic Warfare Operations Support Group (EWOS), which comprises a team of over 60 specialists from diverse backgrounds, including engineers, scientists, and ex-military personnel. Together, we aim to help our customers achieve their operational potential and ensure the safety of their personnel and platforms.
