You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and testing FPGA-based solutions that process complex signals in real-time. This role is ideal for a high-potential engineer who wants to move beyond simulation and see their code interact with the physical world. You will work closely with senior mentors to bridge the gap between digital signal processing theory and hardware realisation. Responsibilities We are looking for candidates with experience in some or all of the following areas: * RTL Design: Develop and maintain high-speed digital logic using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog. * Verification: Create testbenches and run functional simulations to validate design behavior. * Hardware Debugging: Use lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers) and on-chip debugging tools (ILA/Signal Tap) to troubleshoot physical hardware. * Integration: Collaborate with Electronics and Software teams to define FPGA pinouts, review schematics, and develop interface APIs. * IP Management: Integrate and configure third-party IP cores and interface with high-speed ADCs/DACs. * Documentation: Maintain clear design specifications, register maps, and version-controlled HDL repositories. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Unlocking the potential of Digital & IT at Vodafone](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/602-unlocking-the-potential-of-digital-it-at-vodafone) - [Strange New Worlds: shaping the future of the digital age](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/677-strange-new-worlds-shaping-the-future-of-the-digital-age) - [Discover the open source trio you didn’t expect: .NET and PostgreSQL on Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2042-discover-the-open-source-trio-you-didn-t-expect-net-and-postgresql-on-linux) ## Related Articles - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Fullstack developer salary in Germany [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/197-fullstack-developer-salary-in-germany-2023) - [Frontend Developer Salary in Germany [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/195-frontend-developer-salary-in-germany-2023) - [Software Developer Salary in Germany [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/194-software-developer-salary-in-germany-2023) - [How Much FAANG Companies Actually Pay Software Engineers in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/230-how-much-faang-companies-actually-pay-software-engineers-in-2025) - [Backend Developer Salary in Germany [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/196-backend-developer-salary-in-germany-2023)
