The perfect applicant would be a well-rounded FPGA Engineer to complement our dynamic High-End Scope Design team. Ideally from a high-tech electronic product design environment, the successful job holder will be able to demonstrate mixed signal design skills and experience.

Desirable skills include experience with Xilinx or Altera FPGAs and associated tools, proficiency in firmware/software development (C, C++, C#), and familiarity with design for Test & Measurement or scientific markets. Experience with tools such as Vivado, Modelsim, Visual Studio, Git, and Jira, as well as scripting (Python, Perl, TCL), Clock Domain Crossing techniques, and High-Level Synthesis, will be an advantage.

We are looking for a detail-oriented, creative, and organised individual who can communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical teams. The right candidate will be motivated, inquisitive, and driven by quality, with a proactive and flexible attitude to delivering high-quality work within deadlines.
