FPGA / Firmware Engineer

FPGA / Firmware Engineer

UK Defence & Aerospace

We are looking to speak with experienced FPGA / Firmware Engineers for current and upcoming opportunities across the UK Defence and Aerospace sector.

These roles will suit engineers who have worked on complex, high-integrity or safety-critical systems and are comfortable taking FPGA designs through the full development lifecycle.

Key skills we are interested in

• FPGA design and development
• VHDL and/or Verilog
• Xilinx / AMD FPGA technologies
• Vivado
• TCL scripting
• FPGA simulation, verification and validation
• High-speed digital interfaces
• PCIe, Ethernet and/or JESD
• Digital signal processing
• Embedded systems
• Hardware / software integration
• Requirements capture and design documentation
• Configuration management and version control

Experience within Defence, Aerospace, Avionics, Space, Radar, Electronic Warfare, Communications or other safety-critical engineering environments would be particularly relevant.

Knowledge of standards such as DO-254 would also be advantageous.

Security Clearance

Due to the nature of the projects, some opportunities will require existing SC or DV clearance , while others may be open to candidates who are eligible to obtain UK security clearance.

Opportunities

We are interested in speaking with engineers at different levels, including:

FPGA Engineers

Firmware Engineers

Senior FPGA Engineers

Senior Firmware Engineers

FPGA Verification Engineers

FPGA / Digital Design Engineers

Technical Leads

Both permanent and contract opportunities may be available depending on location, clearance and experience.

If FPGA or firmware engineering is your area and you would be interested in hearing about current or upcoming Defence and Aerospace projects, please apply or get in touch for a confidential conversation.
