Firmware Engineer

You will work closely with systems engineers, embedded software teams, and hardware designers to deliver robust and scalable digital solutions., * Deliver firmware and FPGA projects to agreed time, cost, and quality targets, with a strong emphasis on reuse and modular design principles

• Develop and verify RTL designs, including architecture, implementation, simulation, and hardware integration
• Support system-level integration using OpenCPI frameworks and component-based architectures
• Contribute to requirements analysis, design documentation, verification plans, and certification artefacts
• Collaborate across systems, hardware, embedded software, and algorithm teams
• Support process improvement, automation, scripting, and tooling enhancements
• Ensure compliance with relevant safety, security, and quality standards including DO-254, IEC 61508, IEC 62443, and ISO 26262 where applicable

• Strong experience in RTL design for FPGA-based digital systems using VHDL
• Experience with Xilinx (AMD), Lattice, or similar FPGA/SoC architectures
• Demonstrable experience working with or integrating systems using OpenCPI (or equivalent component-based FPGA middleware frameworks)
• FPGA implementation of algorithms developed in MATLAB/Simulink (algorithm development not required)
• Strong verification experience using OSVVM, UVVM, or UVM methodologies
• Familiarity with high-speed interfaces such as AXI, PCIe, Ethernet, JESD204, CameraLink, SMPTE, Wishbone, or OCP
• Experience with FPGA development tools such as Vivado, ModelSim, Diamond, Radiant, Vitis, or Propel
• Scripting ability using TCL or similar languages
• Working knowledge of DO-254 development processes
• Experience working within Integrated Project Teams (IPTs) in defence or regulated environments is highly desirable, * Strong communication skills with the ability to work across multi-disciplinary engineering teams
• Ability to take ownership of technical work packages
• Team leadership or technical leadership experience within small engineering teams is advantageous
