Job description

FPGA Engineer



This isn’t just product development - it’s the creation of a cutting-edge system that will shape future technologies from the ground up.



The opportunity:
Join a business-critical greenfield project at a pivotal stage, with full ownership of FPGA design on a brand-new system. You’ll be hands-on in defining how the FPGA integrates into the broader product architecture, utilizing modern hardware and collaborating closely with both hardware and embedded software teams. Your role will be instrumental – enabling the RF chain, handling signal processing, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in modern FPGA development.



What we need:

• Expertise in FPGA development using VHDL / Verilog
• Strong understanding of system-level design
• Ideally experience with Xilinx toolchain - Vivado, Zynq/ZU boards

Desirable:

• Familiarity with SoC
• Radar system experience
• Working knowledge of DSP in FPGA environments

What you'll do:
Take ownership of a key part of the system architecture, working alongside a permanent DSP specialist and senior hardware engineers. You’ll be involved from device selection to schematic design, integration, and lab-based testing.



Why join:
This is an opportunity to step into a senior-level role with genuine influence over the technical direction of a new product. This is ground-up, forward-looking design using the latest tools and platforms. Expect plenty of autonomy, technical challenge, and the chance to leave your mark on a flagship product.



What’s on offer:

• Salary: Up to circa £65K (flexible depending on experience)
• Hybrid working (typically 3 days onsite)
• Location: South West London
