FPGA Engineer

FPGA Engineer

This is a really interesting opportunity for an FPGA Engineer to join the R&D team of a company that works at the forefront of developing new communications technology in the Space sector.

You’ll be joining a small, highly talented group of engineers, developing state-of-the art technology in areas including Free Space Optical comms, data processing for RF communications and Software Defined Radio.

The team takes a creative, flexible but organised approach to their work and are always interested in new approaches and technologies. They also tend to take a “systems view” to better understand the contact of FPGA processing in terms of the overall solution.

This is a hybrid role, with time spent working either from home or the company’s office in Welwyn Garden City. There may be the possibility of providing sponsorship, should a work visa be required.

FPGA Engineer – responsibilities

• Capture requirements, formulate data processing problems
• Develop data processing models
• Analyse designs for FPGA solutions
• Implement processing chains in HDL, verify with simulation test benches
• Deploy to target hardware, support verification at processor/system level
• Support adoption of new/updated processes/tools

FPGA Engineer – requirements

• At least 3 years’ FPGA Development experience
• Experience in VHDL or Verilog
• Knowledge of Xilinx Vivado
• Implementation of Test Benches, verification through simulation
• Any experience of SatComs, Optical Comms or 5g would be a bonus
• DSP or SDR experience would be beneficial
