FPGA Engineer

This fully on-site role combines hands-on FPGA design with team leadership and ownership of the development process, mentoring of less experienced colleagues, and a substantial influence over future product architecture. You'll be working closely with colleagues from the Machine Learning and RF teams. Your technology focus will be highly optimised FPGA designs for digitally transforming raw optical signals to inputs suitable for machine learning algorithms. You will be working with technologies such as RFSoCs and SDRs with FPGAs from AMD/Xilinx, and will need excellent design skills, hands-on lab skills, and fluency in VHDL. You will need:

• A good degree in electronics or a similarly applicable subject from a well-regarded university and strong grades at A-level (or equivalent)
• Very substantial Xilinx RFSoC and/or software defined radio (SDR) systems experience
• Solid understanding of DSP techniques and their mathematical underpinnings
• Fluency in VHDL, and good knowledge of designing with Xilinx/AMD; hands-on electronics lab skills
• Full existing right to work in the UK without time limit or sponsorship
• As applications involve defence and government work, you must be eligible for a UK SC security clearance

Based in pleasant offices on the outskirts of Bristol, this would be a good opportunity for a skilled engineer looking to progress further into team and technical leadership whilst staying hands-on with world-leading technology. A highly competitive salary is on offer to the successful candidate.
