FPGA Design Engineer London, UK c£70k + benefits
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced FPGA design engineer to join a start-up involved with the research, development, and design of technologies used to enhance HPC, AI, and ML networking.
Our client's technologies will revolutionize data centers by speeding up training and inference while dramatically reducing energy consumption, supporting a sustainable future.
They are looking for experienced FPGA Engineers to develop a high-speed network interface card utilizing SystemVerilog, etc. The FPGA design engineer will work iteratively within a multi-skilled team of engineers through a series of prototypes to ultimately deliver a production-grade solution. Responsibilities will include microarchitecture definition, implementation, and testing, as well as interfacing with software.
Experience of working on similar high-speed networking products for AI/ML, data storage, or HPC networking applications would be advantageous.
Typical Involvements: FPGA Design Engineer
Microarchitecture definition in collaboration with the broader team
Preparing detailed technical documentation and presentations to stakeholders
RTL Implementation, synthesis, timing closure
Unit verification planning and simulation testing using SystemVerilog
Delivering and validating FPGA-based lab setups for customer trials
Skills & Experience Required: FPGA Design Engineer
A Bachelor or Master degree in electronics engineering, physics, or other relevant fields
3-5 years of relevant experience working within FPGA design
Solid hands-on industry experience of FPGA design for network applications at 100Gbps and above
Experience working with PCIe, CXL, RDMA, DDR4, and high-speed transceiver technologies, as well as Ethernet, IP, and bare metal systems
Comprehensive understanding of clock domain crossing (CDC) techniques
Strong knowledge of FPGA tool flows (synthesis, partitioning, place & route, timing analysis)
Excellent skills in SystemVerilog (primarily) and also Verilog or VHDL
Scripting and automation skills, such as TCL and Python
Experience using tools such as Questa, ModelSim, GHDL, Verilator, and cocotb
Experience using simulation, analysis, and synthesis tools such as Quartus, Vivado, or Vitis
Other Skills / Knowledge:
Experience in PCIe driver development
Experience with embedded systems, including soft processors (Nios/Microblaze/RISC V) and SoC programming
Experience with high-performance FPGA devices: Intel Agilex 7 or Xilinx Versal Premium
A humble attitude and good communication skills
Ability to convey complex ideas, concepts, and designs to a variety of audiences from multiple backgrounds
A strong and demonstrable interest in sustainable technologies, AI, ML, and/or HPC would be preferred.
The FPGA design engineer opening is based onsite in central London, 2 days per week (minimum). Assistance can be granted to obtain working visas.
