Electronic Design Engineer

FPGA Engineer / Senior FPGA Engineer

Location: Oxfordshire (Hybrid - 4 days onsite)

Salary: £41,000 - £52,000 DOE (FPGA Engineer) | Up to £67,000 DOE (Senior FPGA Engineer)

Job Type: Full-time, Fixed-Term Contract (3 Years)

The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an FPGA Engineer or Senior FPGA Engineer to join a highly advanced engineering organisation developing next-generation control systems and power electronics technology.

Working within a multidisciplinary engineering team, you will be responsible for the development, testing and optimisation of FPGA firmware used in complex, high-performance systems. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to technically challenging projects while working alongside hardware, software and systems engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain and debug FPGA firmware using VHDL or Verilog.
• Design and implement interfaces to ADCs, DACs, memory devices, sensors and microcontrollers.
• Carry out simulation, verification and validation of FPGA designs.
• Perform hardware testing and debugging using laboratory test equipment and logic analysers.
• Collaborate with hardware and software engineers to optimise system performance.
• Maintain version-controlled code and produce technical documentation.
• Support electronic circuit design, simulation and prototype testing.
• Contribute to the development of reliable control and communication interfaces.

About You

You will have a degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics or a related discipline, or possess equivalent industry experience.

You should have experience in some of the following:

• FPGA development using VHDL and/or Verilog.
• Xilinx FPGA devices and development environments.
• FPGA simulation, verification and validation.
• Code management and version control tools.
• Electronic circuit design and testing.
• Laboratory measurement equipment and debugging techniques.
• Embedded systems, microcontrollers or microprocessors.
• Programming in C, C++ and/or Python.
• SPICE-based simulation tools such as LTspice or PSpice.
• Control systems and signal processing concepts.

Senior Level Candidates

Applicants with extensive FPGA development experience, particularly within industrial, scientific or highly regulated environments, are encouraged to apply. The senior position offers the opportunity to lead FPGA development activities, support technical decision-making and mentor others within the team.

Benefits

• Competitive salary package
• Excellent pension scheme
• Hybrid working arrangements
• Enhanced annual leave entitlement
• Flexible working hours
• Relocation assistance available
• Ongoing training and career development
• Long-term, technically challenging project work within a highly innovative engineering environment
