Senior FPGA Engineer - Real-Time Video & Payload Systems

Copello; Bristol; Hybride; GBP 80 000 - 90 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Copello is seeking an experienced Senior FPGA Engineer to take technical ownership of FPGA and programmable logic design within advanced gimbal payload systems in Bristol. You will work on video capture, sensor interfaces, real-time pointing and stabilization, and in-house electronics from prototype to production.

Ideal candidates have 10+ years FPGA experience with VHDL or SystemVerilog, and hands-on debugging skills.

Qualifications

• Degree in Electronic Engineering or related discipline.
• 10+ years FPGA development experience.
• Strong VHDL or SystemVerilog skills with major FPGA vendor toolchains.
• Experience with video/imaging pipelines and camera interfaces.
• Experience with systems combining programmable logic and embedded processors.
• Practical hardware debugging skills (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers).
• Ability to review schematics in Altium and ensure timing and RTL quality.

Responsabilités

• Lead FPGA and SoC design for payload video and control systems, including RTL design, simulation, synthesis, timing closure and hardware bring-up.
• Develop video processing pipelines covering sensor capture, image correction, stabilisation, overlays, video output and metadata.
• Implement real-time interfaces for pointing and stabilisation systems in cross-functional teams.
• Take in-house boards from prototype to production.
• Develop verification strategies including testbenches, coverage, hardware-in-the-loop testing and fault investigations.
• Review hardware schematics, clocking, and timing constraints in Altium; establish design standards and review processes.
