Salary: £55,000 - 55,000 per year Requirements:
* Proven experience in DSP algorithm development on FPGA architectures to deliver designs for real-time, high-speed, or RF-centric systems.
* Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and HDL Coder for algorithm-to-hardware workflows.
* Proven ability to develop and deploy on Xilinx RFSoC (e.g., Zynq UltraScale) and/or Intel Agilex/Stratix platforms.
* Experience in line management of junior team members.
* Familiarity with using laboratory equipment for digital hardware/firmware design testing (e.g., oscilloscopes, signal generators, and logic analyzers).
Responsibilities:
* Lead the design, implementation, and verification of advanced FPGA architectures for RF signal processing, high-throughput data handling, and real-time logic.
* Develop for AMD/Xilinx RFSoCs (e.g., Zynq UltraScale) and Intel FPGAs (e.g., Agilex), including integration with high-speed ADCs/DACs.
* Support test and lab evaluation using signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
* Lead or contribute to the implementation of designs using VHDL, SystemVerilog, and MATLAB/Simulink HDL Coder.
* Develop C/C++ software for deployment to embedded systems.
* Use industry-standard tools such as Vivado, Quartus, and ModelSim for simulation, synthesis, and implementation.
* Drive design verification, unit testing, documentation, and best practice in FPGA development.
* Act as a technical expert in reviews, solution development, and internal consultation across teams.
