Job description

If you like your FPGA work to actually mean something once it's deployed, rather than just ticking a spec sheet, this one's worth a look.

I'm recruiting on behalf of an engineering business based just south of Cambridge, easy reach of the city by road or rail. They work across a genuinely varied portfolio of projects and have built up a strong internal IP base off the back of it. Multidisciplinary is the operative word here hardware, software, systems and firmware engineers all sat around the same table, which tends to produce more interesting problems (and more interesting solutions) than the average single-discipline team pushes out.

The role

We're looking for an experienced FPGA engineer. You'll be developing IP and delivering projects end to end, from concept and architecture through to validation and ongoing support.

A solid grounding in digital signal processing is a firm requirement here, not a nice-to-have, and if you've got RF systems experience too that's a genuine bonus.

Most day-to-day work targets AMD (Xilinx) silicon, often Zynq SoC devices, and you'll be working closely with hardware, software and systems engineers on technically demanding programmes.

Comfort crossing into electronics or firmware is a real plus, though they're equally open to someone with a strong core FPGA/DSP skill set who wants to broaden out over time.

What you’ll bring

• Strong HDL and FPGA design skills
• Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
• Comfort working across the full development lifecycle
• Clear communication and an eye for technical documentation
• An appetite for continuous learning; this is a team that values adaptability over a fixed skill set

We're flexible on

Seniority

If you're a hands on recent PhD grad, or a principal or above level engineer looking above our salary bracket, please be in touch. Depending on experience, there's scope to lead and mentor junior colleagues, and to get properly involved in design reviews and project planning.

Why it's worth a look

Genuinely varied project work rather than one product roadmap on repeat, a multidisciplinary team that actually collaborates day to day, and a business that's serious about investing in your development. Based just south of Cambridge with easy road and rail links into the city, plus a decent social calendar on and off site
