Job Details

About the role:

We are looking for a Principal FPGA Engineer to join our engineering team developing the next generation of Cyber Security and Electronic Warfare products. You will be an integral part of a team involved in the research, design, development and verification of complete systems to deliver products and capability to our customers.

Your Experience

  • You will have been involved with all phases of the FPGA development lifecycle, from initial architecture design, requirements specification, and design documentation through to code development, formal verification and final integration
  • You will have guided functional teams, ensuring technical product delivery
  • You will be able to communicate effectively with other team members, (including hardware, software, PCB and mechanical designers) to agree interface specifications and progress integration solutions

  • You will be comfortable sharing your expertise with colleagues through training and/or coaching.

Your skills

  • VHDL skills, particularly targeting Xilinx and Altera FPGA and System on a Chip devices 
  • VHDL-based design, implementation and verification experience using self-checking functional verification
  • Experience of FPGA simulation and verification using Mentor Graphics QuestaSim
  • Experience with Xilinx Vivado/PlanAhead and Intel/Altera Quartus Prime tools
  • Digital design including interfacing to hardware, peripherals and processors
  • Experience with modern, team-based version control systems
  • Experience of achieving robust timing closure in complex FPGA devices (desirable) 
  • Experience with AXI interface standards (desirable) 
  • Ability to work with/develop timing constraints (desirable) 
  • Ability to develop and maintain scripted build flows (TCL/ Python/Makefile) (desirable) 
  • Experience of working in the Defence sector (desirable)
