Overview
Senior / Principal FPGA Engineer
Permanent | Essex / Cambridgeshire Border | Hybrid Working
The Role
We are seeking an experienced FPGA Engineer with strong HDL development skills and hands-on experience using the AMD (Xilinx) Vivado toolchain, including simulation and verification. Experience with other FPGA platforms will also be considered.
You will play a key role in developing internal IP and delivering client-led projects, primarily across radar, communications and sensing applications. A solid foundation in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is essential, with RF systems experience a strong advantage.
Working within a multidisciplinary engineering consultancy, you will support projects across the full lifecycle - from concept and architecture through to validation and support - collaborating closely with hardware, software and systems engineers. Development is typically targeted at AMD Zynq SoC devices.
Responsibilities
* Deliver high-quality FPGA and DSP designs with minimal supervision
* Contribute to design reviews, technical discussions, proposals and time estimates
* Support client engagement, including pre-contract technical scoping
* Identify and raise technical risks early
* Work effectively within multidisciplinary project teams
* Maintain clear technical documentation and communicate progress
* Mentor junior engineers (where appropriate)
About You
* Strong FPGA development background (HDL, Vivado, simulation & test)
* Solid DSP knowledge; RF systems experience beneficial
* Comfortable working in a consultancy-style environment
* Self-motivated, adaptable and willing to take ownership
* Keen to learn and broaden technical skillsets across disciplines
What’s On Offer
* Competitive salary and benefits package
* Technically challenging and varied project work
* Supportive environment with a strong focus on professional development
* Clear opportunities for career progression
