Electronic Design Engineer (Contract)

Hardware Engineer – FPGA/VHDL | Hampshire | Permanent Some engineering roles keep you busy. Others keep you sharp. This one sits firmly in the second category. We're working with a Hampshire-based engineering business on a permanent Hardware Engineer hire - a technically demanding role that sits at the intersection of digital design, PCB development, and long-term product integrity. The Role You'll be working across the full hardware lifecycle - from FPGA and VHDL design through to PCB layout and into the less glamorous but business-critical world of component obsolescence management. The work is varied, the problems are real, and the output matters. Day to day, you can expect to be: Designing and developing FPGA-based solutions using VHDL Creating and reviewing PCB designs in Altium Designer Supporting obsolescence investigations and managing end-of-life component strategies Collaborating with systems and software engineers to deliver integrated hardware solutions Producing technical documentation to a high standard What We're Looking For Proven FPGA design experience with strong VHDL capability Hands-on PCB design using Altium Designer Exposure to obsolescence management - understanding component lifecycles, finding alternatives, mitigating risk A methodical, detail-oriented approach to engineering Experience in a regulated or complex engineering environment is advantageous If you're an FPGA-focused Hardware Engineer looking for your next long-term move, I'd like to hear from you.
