Your role will involve all phases of the FPGA design life cycle, from requirement inception through to a validated design. This will offer you a great opportunity to strongly influence the design, push the use of latest technologies and interact with the wider
multidiscipline design teams; whilst also leveraging the latest tools and technologies provided by top FPGA vendors.

What we're looking for from you:

• Ideally, you are educated to degree level (or equivalent qualification), with experience in the majority of the following areas:
• Generating complex FPGA architectures and design implementations using VHDL, Simulink, etc., targeting Xilinx, Intel, and Microsemi devices.
• Ability to verify complex FPGA implementations using VHDL and System Verilog/UVM test‑bench methodologies.
• Proficiency in FPGA design toolsets and Mentor verification tools (QuestaSim & ModelSim).
• Strong skills in generating low-level software (C) for FPGA test and integration with embedded systems.
• Ability to configure and document designs to a high professional standard.

Please note: Some of our roles require an elevated level of security clearance. Candidates may be required to undertake DV (Developed Vetting) in order to successfully deliver the role.
