This is a role fitting for a senior engineer comfortable with VHDL and/or Verilog FPGA design, and embedded software development in C / C++. This company’s control algorithms drive some unique hardware setups in their field. Development work, architectural design, verification and maintenance will all form part of the role. Variety is on offer, given the small company environment, and the chance to collaborate with senior colleagues on a range of tasks. You’ll have: • A good degree in relevant subject from a recognised university (or equivalent experience), backed by supporting A-level (or equivalent) grades; • Significant commercial-grade experience developing in VHDL and/or Verilog, ideally working on AMD / Xilinx FPGA systems; • Skills writing embedded C / C++, ideally for Embedded Linux systems; • An interest in a variety of technical work, happy to contribute and learn new skills, and document and communicate design ideas. A number of other technical areas are available to contribute to, and supplementary skills in these – or an interest in developing them – are also welcome. On the software side these include Linux (Yocto) application development, Python / Tcl scripting for automation, Ethernet / EtherCAT / MODBUS / TCP communications, build and test and CI / CD systems. On the hardware side, schematics capture and PCB layout, bench-level and laboratory testing, power electronics, high-voltage systems. You’d join a successful Cambridge company with the support of a larger European organisation, who have been resilient against the challenges other companies have faced in recent times. A competitive salary and benefits are on offer, commensurate with experience. Work is primarily office based, but the company can accommodate flexibility around childcare and similar arrangements. Full existing UK work permission without sponsorship, and UK residence, is required. Another top job from ECM, the high-tech recruitment experts.
