Hands-on ownership of FPGA architecture for advanced sensing and Edge-AI products, spanning high-speed data acquisition, SoC-FPGA integration, real-time DSP and future CNN acceleration. Day-to-day work covers VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL, ADC and LVDS acquisition, DMA, AXI and PS/PL integration, DDR streaming pipelines, timing closure and CDC, plus hardware bring-up and Embedded Linux/PetaLinux integration.

Avanti Recruitment · Southampton · £50,000 – £80,000 pa

Hands-on role across the full FPGA development lifecycle, covering VHDL design, verification and SoC-based systems using Xilinx devices and Vivado. Work spans video/image processing, high-speed data, signal processing and embedded integration for defence and mission-critical products, with ownership of technical decisions and mentoring of junior engineers.

Teledyne FLIR · Chelmsford

Assembly and test operator role ensuring timely throughput of imaging devices while meeting quality requirements. Duties include microscope inspection, setting up and running tools, maintaining production records and reporting progress to the line manager, working in a cleanroom on alternating double day shifts.

Teledyne FLIR · Chelmsford

Hands-on electronics role supporting silicon wafer processing, package and test equipment across three cleanroom areas. You respond rapidly to equipment faults, lead preventive maintenance and installations, manage contractors and risk assessments, and work with gases, chemicals, robotics, vacuum and electronics on a double day shift.

Pragmatic Semiconductor · Durham

Operates production equipment in a 24/7 cleanroom, preparing, handling and processing substrates to standard operating procedures. Monitors equipment performance, logs process data into a Factory MES and maintains safe working practices. Suits those with lean, high-volume manufacturing experience; semiconductor or optical microscope skills are a plus.

Jonathan Lee Recruitment · Maidenhead

Lead the architecture, design, implementation, integration and verification of FPGA-based firmware for high-assurance defence and cyber systems, using VHDL and structured V-model methodologies. Chair design reviews, translate ambiguous requirements into verifiable specifications, and mentor firmware engineers while working with protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C and TCP/IP. Based onsite in Maidenhead and requires security clearance eligibility.

Semtech · Bristol

Owns test strategy and architecture for major semiconductor product lines on the Advantest V93000 platform, writing test plans and coverage objectives rather than executing someone else's. Leads complex test program development, statistical and adaptive test methods, yield and quality improvement, and test technology roadmaps while mentoring engineers. Hybrid role based in Bristol with Monday–Thursday onsite and up to 20% travel.

Analog Devices · Edinburgh

Lead verification of complex mixed-signal ICs across the full development cycle, from concept and verification planning through implementation, execution and release. Develop UVM and formal testbench architectures, define coverage and closure metrics, debug gate-level simulations, and mentor junior engineers while leading IP or SoC verification efforts.

Archangel Lightworks · Oxford · £25,000 – £60,000 pa

Develops laser communication terminal optical and photonic subsystems, from requirements definition and trade-off analysis through modelling, breadboard testing, and assembly, integration and test. Works closely with the Product Technical Lead and optical engineering team, managing component suppliers and providing technical leadership of subsystem projects, with system-level testing and field trials.

NVIDIA · Cambridge

Develops algorithms and optimizations for NVIDIA's LPX inference and compiler stack, building high-performance runtime and compiler components and mapping large-scale neural network workloads onto future hardware. Involves LLVM/MLIR work, graph transformations, scheduling and memory/layout optimizations, plus close codesign with hardware architects.

Vacgen · East Sussex

Bridges design and manufacture, supporting New Product Introduction and developing manufacturing routes, BOMs and ERP data. Designs vacuum chambers, fixtures and tooling in 3D CAD, produces drawings and documentation, and drives continuous improvement using 8D, DFMEA, PFMEA and PPAP. Works hands-on with shop floor, customers and suppliers on ultra-high vacuum technology.
