Senior DSP Engineer

As Senior DSP Engineer, you will:

• Design, simulate and implement DSP algorithms for telecommunications and sensing applications.

• Develop FPGA firmware using VHDL and/or Verilog.

• Translate system requirements and interface specifications into robust firmware designs.

• Produce FPGA simulations, testbenches and verification plans.

• Support hardware integration, troubleshooting and space-system qualification.

• Maintain and enhance existing firmware products.

• Contribute technical leadership across complex engineering programmes.

• At least five years’ experience implementing signal-processing designs on FPGAs.

• Strong VHDL and/or Verilog development skills.

• Experience simulating, testing and debugging FPGA firmware.

• A degree in engineering, computer science, physics or another quantitative discipline.

• Knowledge of formal configuration-control processes.

Experience with C/C++ for SoC cores or vector processors, Xilinx Versal AI Engines, 5G/LTE systems, or radiation-tolerant FPGA design would be particularly valuable.

The successful candidate will receive a competitive benefits package including private healthcare, income protection, life insurance, pension contributions and hybrid working.

I’m recruiting on behalf of a leading space technology organisation seeking a Senior DSP Engineer to develop advanced FPGA-based signal-processing solutions for next-generation satellite communications, sensors and space missions.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a multidisciplinary engineering team and work across the full firmware lifecycle, from DSP algorithm design and simulation through to HDL implementation, verification and hardware integration.
