Join an innovative technology company designing advanced FPGA-based products within a collaborative, entrepreneurial engineering culture.

Responsibilities

* Design and implement FPGA logic in VHDL for Xilinx Artix-7 devices using Vivado

* Develop finite state machines to control and sequence hardware interfaces

* Create low-level driver logic for I²C, SPI, and other serial interfaces, including initialisation and error handling

* Write self-checking test benches and conduct functional and timing simulations

* Perform hardware bring-up, lab testing, measurements, and iterative debug

* Manage constraints, clocking, resets, and CDC analysis to achieve timing closure

* Contribute to requirements capture, architecture design, and module specifications

* Maintain configuration management, documentation, and traceability

Requirements

* Degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline

* Strong hands-on VHDL experience for FPGA design and verification

* Proven experience with Xilinx Artix-7 and Vivado (constraints, synthesis, place & route, timing closure, bitstream generation)

* Experience with I²C, SPI, and low-level embedded interfaces

* Understanding of timing constraints, CDC, metastability, and synchronous design

* 3+ years' FPGA development within a product or R&D environment

Advantageous

* PCB-level considerations and signal integrity knowledge

* Scripting with Tcl/Python for design flow automation

* Familiarity with version control (SVN)
