We are seeking an experienced FPGA Engineer to join a collaborative engineering team developing advanced electronic systems used in high-performance, security-focused environments.
This role offers the opportunity to work on technically challenging programmes where FPGAs play a central role, supporting applications such as high-speed data processing, complex algorithm implementation, embedded security functions, system-level integration within modern hardware platforms.
You will work alongside engineers across firmware, software, systems, and hardware disciplines, contributing to innovative solutions in a structured, quality-driven development environment.
The team operates using modern development practices, including advanced toolchains and Continuous Integration workflows.
Key Responsibilities
* Design and develop FPGA solutions using VHDL
* Deliver efficient implementations with strong focus on timing closure and device optimisation
* Target AMD FPGA and SoC devices, including use of the AXI protocol
* Perform simulation using Siemens QuestaSim
* Apply modern verification approaches (e.g. OSVVM, CoCoTB)
* Use AMD toolchains (ISE and Vivado)
* Develop and maintain scripted build processes using TCL and/or Python
* Work within Git-based version control systems
* Support Continuous Integration environments (e.g. GitLab, Docker)
* Produce clear technical documentation
* Contribute to process improvement and engineering best practice
What We’re Looking For
* Strong background in FPGA design using VHDL
* Experience with AMD FPGA/SoC platforms
* Solid understanding of FPGA architecture, optimisation techniques, and timing analysis
* Experience with simulation and verification methodologies
* Familiarity with automated build and CI workflows
