Are you an experienced FPGA Engineer looking to work on cutting-edge technology in a dynamic and fast-paced environment? Are you looking for a business to support you with achieving security clearance?

Our client, a leader in delivering advanced engineering solutions, is seeking talented professionals to join their team in developing next-generation FPGA systems for mission-critical applications.

Role Overview As an FPGA Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, development, and verification of FPGA-based solutions using VHDL/Verilog. You will work closely with Systems, Hardware, and Software teams to integrate and deliver robust, high-performance designs.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and verify FPGA designs using VHDL or System Verilog. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve complex integration issues. Optimize FPGA designs for timing, area, and resource efficiency. Implement high-speed serial protocols and hardware-level solutions. Document technical deliverables and maintain version control processes. Provide progress updates and ensure project milestones are met. Support hardware/system-level integration and debugging.

Essential Criteria to Secure Interview

5+ years of FPGA design experience using VHDL or Verilog. UK Citizenship is mandatory to obtain SC Clearance. Proficiency with tools like Mentor Graphics (HDL Designer, ModelSim/Questa), and synthesis tools such as Xilinx Vivado, ISE, or Quartus. Strong understanding of FPGA design flows, constraints, and Place & Route optimization. Experience with requirements capture, management tools, and independent verification techniques. Hands-on experience debugging FPGA designs and supporting system-level integration. Familiarity with high-speed serial protocols (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet). Proficient in version control systems and scripting (e.g., Linux Shell, Python). Excellent technical decision-making, documentation, and communication skills.

Desirable

Experience in safety-critical FPGA development (e.g., RTCA/DO-254). Knowledge of embedded processor cores (e.g., ARM). Familiarity with System Verilog/UVM for verification. Previous experience in the Aerospace or Defence sector. Experience working in an Agile environment.
