Berkshire, Permanent
We are looking for a Senior FPGA Design Engineer to join our engineering team, leading the design and development of advanced FPGA solutions for cutting-edge Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) products.

These solutions are central to high-performance, real-time applications, requiring fast, precise data processing and seamless integration with sensor systems.

What You Will Do:
This is a chance to work at the forefront of technologies that underpin essential, real-world systems, bringing together advanced signal processing and high-performance data communications.
Ideal for an FPGA engineer who thrives on high-speed design and real-time system challenges.

You will be:
Designing FPGA solutions at the core of advanced PNT systems, including Kalman filter-based sensor fusion
Validating designs at hardware level, ensuring performance holds up beyond simulation
Writing and optimising HDL (VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog) using tools like Vivado, ModelSim, and QuestaSim
Integrating communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, AXI) into tightly coupled, real-time systems
Applying signal processing techniques such as FIR filtering and FFT to meet demanding real-time requirements
Delivering high-speed digital designs where performance, precision, and reliability are critical

What We Require From You:
Were looking for an FPGA Design Engineer with proven experience across design, implementation, and verification, backed by a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Youll bring strong HDL skills (VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog), solid experience with verification methodologies such as UVM, and a deep understanding of high-speed digital design and signal processing (FIR, FFT).

Youll be confident working with tools like Vivado, ModelSim, and QuestaSim, and experienced in implementing communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, AXI) on FPGA platforms, with the ability to debug at hardware level using tools such as ILA and VIO.
Familiarity with SoCs (e.g. MicroBlaze, Zynq) and scripting (TCL/TK or similar) is a plus. Just as importantly, youll be a clear communicator, comfortable working cross-functionally, and able to take ownership of your work from design through to validation.
Experience working on complex, real-world systems - particularly involving sensor fusion or high-performance data processing, will set you apart. xwzovoh
