FPGA Engineer – Junior to Principal Level

Based in North Germany | Office-Based

Cutting-edge FPGA Development | Aerospace & Defence-Grade Systems

A specialist engineering firm is seeking FPGA Engineers at various levels—from junior to principal—to join their high-performing design team in North Germany. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to technically advanced projects with a strong focus on robust, real-time, and embedded FPGA development.

The Role:

As an FPGA Engineer, you will take an active role in the design, verification, and delivery of VHDL/Verilog-based solutions for complex integrated systems. Collaborating closely with systems, hardware, and software teams, you’ll tackle integration challenges and drive innovation in high-performance environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and verify FPGA designs using VHDL.
• Manage configuration and version control throughout the development cycle.
• Produce design documentation and maintain rigorous design traceability.
• Apply timing and area constraints for efficient place-and-route.
• Analyse hardware/system-level requirements to derive detailed FPGA specifications.
• Support integration and verification at both hardware and system level.
• Liaise with engineering leads and multidisciplinary teams to align on deliverables.
• Prepare regular technical reports and progress updates.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Hands-on FPGA design experience with VHDL or Verilog.
• Proficiency with development environments such as Quartus Prime Pro, ModelSim, Vivado, or ISE.
• Familiarity with Xilinx, Intel (Altera), and Microsemi (Actel) toolchains.
• Solid knowledge of version control systems and configuration management practices.
• Independent verification expertise and technical risk mitigation.
• Experience with high-speed serial interfaces and embedded system integration.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

Desirable Extras:

• Background in safety-critical FPGA development (e.g., RTCA/DO-254 DAL A or B).
• Familiarity with SystemVerilog/UVM for verification.
• Prior experience in Aerospace or Defence sectors.
• Knowledge of embedded processor cores such as ARM within FPGA architectures.
• Experience incorporating AI functionalities in FPGA designs.
• Exposure to agile development methodologies and latest FPGA technologies.

Why Apply?

This is an excellent opportunity to work on advanced engineering programmes with a forward-thinking team. Whether you’re an experienced engineer or stepping up to a principal-level role, you’ll gain hands‑on exposure to some of the most challenging and rewarding work in the field
