## Description

A rare opportunity to take ownership of FPGA and electronics development for a small but established product company building high-voltage monitoring technology used across critical infrastructure.

The business designs and manufactures specialist hardware and software that helps customers detect asset degradation early and improve network reliability. This is a hands-on product development role with genuine scope, not a consultancy assignment or a narrow coding position.

You will work across the full design cycle and become the technical lead for this area, supporting current products and shaping next-generation platforms.

Role Responsibilities

 * Own FPGA architecture, development and implementation using VHDL, AMD Xilinx and Vivado.

 * Develop embedded firmware in C and work with STM32 microcontrollers.

 * Design and review analogue front-end circuits, low-noise signal paths and DC-DC power supplies.

 * Support PCB definition and ensure correct FPGA implementation around high-speed interfaces.

 * Contribute to requirements capture, verification, testing, production documentation and manufacturing support.

 * Work closely with the existing lead engineer during knowledge transfer and handover.
