* Lead FPGA Design Engineer, Southampton
* Full-time, permanent, salary up to £75,000
We’re working with a technology company doing some genuinely exciting things in advanced electronics. They are looking for a Lead FPGA Design Engineer to join the team on a full-time permanent basis.
This role would suit someone who wants to stay hands-on with design work but is also ready to lead and support a team. You'll be involved across the full development lifecycle, helping shape the direction of projects while still writing code and solving technical challenges yourself.
The job:
* Leading and mentoring a team of FPGA engineers
* Owning the technical direction for FPGA development across several product lines
* Designing and developing FPGA solutions using VHDL or Verilog
* Overseeing verification, validation, and integration of designs
* Working on high-performance designs, often involving video or RF signal processing
The ideal candidate:
* A degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or something similar
* At least 10 years of hands-on FPGA design experience
* Comfortable leading others and making technical decisions
* Solid experience with VHDL or Verilog and common FPGA toolsets
* A good grasp of high-speed digital design
* You’ll need to be eligible for UK Security Clearance
The offer:
* Salary up to £75,000 (depending on experience)
* Hybrid working and flexible hours
* A strong benefits package including private health, dental and company shares
* A mix of leadership and technical work, this isn’t a desk-only job
* Projects that will keep you engaged and challenged
If you’re a Lead FPGA engineer looking to take the next step, or already leading and want to stay hands-on, this is a great opportunity to do both.
