Job description

We're looking for an experienced Senior Design Engineer to join a team developing cutting-edge communications technology that will help shape the future of global connectivity.

This is an opportunity to work on next-generation 5G non-terrestrial networks developing digital hardware for satellite-based communications systems that will play a key role in delivering worldwide mobile coverage.

Working as part of a highly skilled engineering team, you'll be involved in the design and implementation of high-performance FPGA and ASIC solutions, taking products from architecture through to validation on the latest space-qualified hardware platforms., * Translating system and algorithm requirements into RTL micro-architectures

  • Designing and implementing RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog for FPGA and ASIC targets
  • Creating testbenches and supporting functional verification
  • Deploying and validating designs on FPGA development platforms
  • Optimising designs for performance, timing, power, and resource utilisation
  • Producing high-quality technical documentation
  • Collaborating across architecture, verification, physical implementation, and integration teams
  • Contributing to continuous improvement of engineering processes and design methodologies

Requirements

  • Strong RTL design experience using Verilog and/or SystemVerilog
  • Proven background developing complex FPGA and ASIC designs
  • Experience optimising digital hardware for high-throughput signal or data processing
  • Knowledge of synthesis, timing analysis, and power optimisation techniques
  • Strong understanding of simulation and synthesis using industry-standard EDA tools
  • Experience producing technical design documentation
  • Excellent collaboration skills with multidisciplinary engineering teams

Desirable experience

  • Communications or wireless signal processing
  • Error correction, channel estimation, equalisation, or beamforming algorithms
  • AMBA bus protocols
  • UVM verification methodologies
  • C++ or SystemC modelling
  • High-speed interfaces such as PCIe or JESD
  • Python or other scripting languages
  • FPGA development using AMD/Xilinx devices
  • ASIC backend flows and implementation tools
  • Experience working within Agile or structured hardware development lifecycles
