FPGA Engineer

This role offers the opportunity to work on technically challenging programmes where FPGAs play a central role, supporting applications such as high-speed data processing, complex algorithm implementation, embedded security functions, system-level integration within modern hardware platforms.

You will work alongside engineers across firmware, software, systems, and hardware disciplines, contributing to innovative solutions in a structured, quality-driven development environment.

The team operates using modern development practices, including advanced toolchains and Continuous Integration workflows., * Design and develop FPGA solutions using VHDL

• Deliver efficient implementations with strong focus on timing closure and device optimisation
• Target AMD FPGA and SoC devices, including use of the AXI protocol
• Perform simulation using Siemens QuestaSim
• Apply modern verification approaches (e.g. OSVVM, CoCoTB)
• Use AMD toolchains (ISE and Vivado)
• Develop and maintain scripted build processes using TCL and/or Python
• Work within Git-based version control systems
• Support Continuous Integration environments (e.g. GitLab, Docker)
• Produce clear technical documentation
• Contribute to process improvement and engineering best practice, This website uses cookies to improve your experience while you navigate through the website.
