## Description

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Senior FPGA Engineer to design and implement the control and interface functions of our OTPU system. This role spans production system delivery and advanced hardware prototyping. You will work on high-bandwidth architectures involving high-speed interfaces, precision timing, transceivers, and signal processing pipelines. The position requires close collaboration across FPGA, ASIC, hardware, optical, and software teams., Design and implement FPGA subsystems and hardware modules for high-performance systems.
Develop and optimise high-speed interface subsystems (PCIe Gen4, multi-lane transceivers operating at >25 Gb/s NRZ).
Implement and validate link integrity features including BER measurement and error correction (ECC, including SECDED).
Develop and integrate memory interfaces as required by system architecture.
Contribute to hardware prototyping activities in support of silicon development.
Collaborate with software engineers to enable low-level driver development and hardware control.
Work with hardware and optical engineers to ensure robust system integration and synchronisation.
Implement timing-critical and real-time control logic.
Conduct testing, validation, and performance optimisation under demanding operating conditions.
Debug complex hardware-software interactions and resolve system-level issues.
