Contract RTL Design Engineer (ASIC) - Remote (open to UK and EU based contactors)
Location of work: Remote, some on-site preferred (Bristol, Cambridge or Oxford)
Rate: Up to £60 per hour, outside IR35
Length: 6 months initially
We're looking for an experienced RTL Design Engineer to support the design and verification of a complex digital subsystem for a mixed signal ASIC, including integration of an ARM Cortex core.
This is a hands-on contract role, working closely with an established digital and analogue engineering team.
The Role:
RTL design and verification of a digital subsystem
Integration of an ARM Cortex (Cortex-M) core
Working on digitally controlled mixed-signal systems
Close collaboration with internal engineers
Skills and Experience required:
Strong RTL design using VHDL (primary) and Verilog
Design and testbench development
Experience integrating ARM Cortex cores
Knowledge of AMBA protocols (AHB, APB)
Low-power digital design (clock gating, power gating, retention)
Digital interfaces: UART, SPI, IC
Simulation tools: QuestaSim / ModelSim preferred
Ability to interpret lint, CDC, and synthesis reports
Python or scripting experience is a plus
If you're an ASIC focused RTL engineer (rather than FPGA only) with ARM experience and looking for a technically engaging contract, we'd like to hear from you.
A one stage interview can be quickly arranged.
