Firmware Engineer

Firmware Engineer focuses on delivering firmware and fpga projects to agreed time, cost, and quality targets, with a strong emphasis on reuse and modular design principles.

What the role involves

• Delivering firmware and FPGA projects to agreed time, cost, and quality targets, with a strong emphasis on reuse and modular design principles.
• Develop and verify RTL designs, including architecture, implementation, simulation, and hardware integration.
• Supporting system-level integration using OpenCPI frameworks and component-based architectures.
• Design documentation, verification plans, and certification artefacts.
• Supporting process improvement, automation, scripting, and tooling enhancements.
• Ensure compliance with relevant safety, security, and quality standards including DO-254, IEC 61508, IEC 62443, and ISO 26262 where applicable.

Skills and requirements

• Strong experience in RTL design for FPGA-based digital systems using VHDL.
• Experience with Xilinx (AMD), Lattice, or similar FPGA/SoC architectures.
• FPGA implementation of algorithms developed in MATLAB/Simulink (algorithm development not required).
• Strong verification experience using OSVVM, UVVM, or UVM methodologies.

Confirmed role details

• Operating across 30 countries with over 50,000 engineers and digital specialists, we deliver innovative solutions across mobility, software, robotics, simulation, cybersecurity, AI.

Candidate fit

• technical judgement, safe working habits, careful diagnostics, and practical problem-solving

Additional role context
