Copello is working with a Defence client who is looking for a Firmware Design Engineer to join their firmware team. The team is responsible for the development and maintenance of the firmware used in its anti‑jam avionics products. The successful candidate will have a strong knowledge of digital logic and firmware design development but also a healthy interest in digital and analogue electronics (especially RF) as well as software.
You will work within a small team of firmware experts and be supervised to design enhancements which you will implement, test and document in our structured, process‑driven environment. Although the primary role is firmware development, you may also have the opportunity to develop software or use Matlab to simulate DSP algorithms or analyze data.
Key Responsibilities
* Design, develop, and test high‑quality firmware on time, and within budget
* Produce documentation required to support the firmware
* Assist in estimating, planning and progress reporting
* Provide support to the project and systems teams
* Collaborate with discipline peers within the team and other project team members to analyse and address project requirements
* Apply and comply with engineering processes and practices
Qualifications and Experience required
* Degree in Electrical, Electronics, Communications, or related engineering discipline
* Proficient in design, coding, debugging, and testing of digital systems
* Proficient in digital implementation using VHDL
* Proficient in writing VHDL testbenches to verify the firmware using Modelsim
* Ability to write optimised, efficient code
* Ability to use version control systems (e.g., GIT)
* Understanding of configuration management
