Senior FPGA Engineer – Real-Time Payload Imaging (Hybrid)

Copello; West of England; Hybride; GBP 80 000 - 90 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Copello is recruiting a Senior FPGA Engineer in Bristol on a hybrid basis. The role focuses on technical ownership of FPGA and programmable logic in high‑end gimbal payload systems, spanning video capture, sensor interfaces and real‑time pointing control.

You will drive in-house electronic solutions from prototype to production, with short development cycles and direct ownership of technology, enabling deployment of robust hardware across missions.

Qualifications

• Approximately 10+ years FPGA development experience.
• Strong VHDL or SystemVerilog with major FPGA vendor toolchains.
• Experience developing hardware-based video/image pipelines and camera interfaces.
• Experience with programmable logic and embedded processors, including register maps and boot processes.
• Practical hardware debugging using oscilloscopes and logic analysers.
• Familiarity with reviewing electronic schematics in Altium.

Responsabilités

• Lead FPGA and SoC design for payload video and control systems.
• Develop video processing pipelines for sensor capture, correction and overlays.
• Implement real-time interfaces for pointing and stabilisation systems with cross‑functional teams.
• Take boards from prototype to qualified production.
• Develop verification strategies including testbenches and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• Review schematics, clocking and timing constraints in Altium and maintain design standards.
