FPGA Design Engineer Job Description:

For this role, we are seeking an experienced FPGA design and verification engineer (~4+ years), to support the development of our growing portfolio of complex FPGA projects. The current portfolio ranges from advanced signal processing systems (ImageRadio), core embedded processing systems, through to safety & security critical systems.

Responsibilities:

The role involves working at all phases of the FPGA design and verification cycle; hence, the candidate would be responsible some of the following key activities:
*Generating complex FPGA architectures and design implementations (VHDL, Simulink etc), targeting Xilinx, Intel, Microsemi devices.
*Verifying complex FPGA implementations using VHDL and System VerilogUVM test-bench methodologies.
*Using FPGA design toolsets and Mentor verification tools (QuestaSim & ModelSim).
*Generating low-level software (C) to facilitate FPGA test and integration with the wider embedded system.
*Configuring and Documenting designs to a high professional standard.
*Working as part of a multidiscipline team to deliver complex FPGA based projects.

Skillset/experience required:

*Ideally we are looking for candidates that are degree qualified (or equivalent) with significant experience in FPGA development.
*Competent VHDL Language and Design Skills.
*Competent Verification Skills using VHDL and SystemVerilog methodologies
*A deep proven level of experience designing for Xilinx, Intel or Microsemi FPGAs
*Experience of professionally configuring and documenting designs
*Experience of working as part of a large multidiscipline team
