This is a hands-on technical role where you'll work across the FPGA development lifecycle - from architecture and requirements capture through to detailed design, implementation, verification and testing. You'll be working as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team on complex systems where reliability, security and engineering quality are critical. What you'll be doing

• Architecting FPGA systems for new high-reliability products
• Designing and developing FPGA modules using VHDL
• Taking ownership of requirements capture and detailed design
• Defining and coordinating interfaces between internal and external components
• Developing test-bench modules for verification and validation
• Working with multidisciplinary engineering teams to solve complex technical problems
• Producing high-quality design documentation and engineering artefacts
• Working with current FPGA technologies, development tools and design techniques What we're looking for
• Strong commercial experience developing FPGAs using VHDL
• Experience with ModelSim / QuestaSim
• TCL scripting experience
• Knowledge of current FPGA and SoC technologies
• Experience with the Quartus toolchain
• Version control experience using Git, SVN, CVS or similar
• Degree or postgraduate qualification in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering or another relevant STEM discipline
