An FPGA Design Engineer with extensive experience using Xilinx design tools is sought by a leading name in surveillance and sensor systems design. Generous salary on offer depending on experience, with Hybrid working available.
As part of a small, multidisciplinary team, you will take responsibility for Digital Signal Processing; undertaking modelling, coding, verification and testing of new FPGA designs for the very latest radar products. You will design and develop FPGA code (VHDL or Verilog) using Xilinx design tools as well as taking the lead on field trails of signal processing performance.
Skills and Experience for the FPGA Design Engineer should include:

  • A Technical Degree.
  • Proven commercial FPGA development using Xilinx design tools such as Vivado.
  • Experience implementing signal processing algorithms.
  • An understanding of the design of high-speed digital circuits for real-time systems.
  • Experience of both design verification and hardware testing.
  • Some software design using C/C++, Python or Rust.
    What would make your application stand out is any exposure to radar, sonar or similar sensor systems.
    You must be fully eligible to work in the UK without sponsorship

Rural-Remote Semiconductor Jobs: Innovation Beyond Urban Borders

A Fresh Outlook for Semiconductor Professionals Mention semiconductor jobs and many people instantly visualise state-of-the-art fabrication plants (fabs), sterile cleanrooms, and corporate campuses in or near big tech cities. While it’s true that silicon chips do require advanced manufacturing sites, the shift towards remote work—amplified by digital collaboration tools, cloud-based design systems, and global talent needs—now enables many roles in the semiconductor sector to exist beyond traditional urban technology corridors. At SemiconductorJobs.co.uk, we’re seeing an uptick in opportunities for professionals seeking “tech jobs by the sea” or “semiconductor remote countryside” positions. Newer tools and processes allow chip designers, EDA (Electronic Design Automation) specialists, and supply chain coordinators, among others, to operate from locations they prefer—be that a scenic rural hamlet or a rugged coastal town. The quest for a balanced, more affordable life is drawing highly skilled chip engineers, application developers, and managers out of city centres and into the UK’s picturesque regions. If you’ve ever pictured finishing a complex circuit design review, then stepping outside to rolling hills or the sound of ocean waves, this article is for you. Read on to discover why rural or coastal living doesn’t mean sacrificing cutting-edge career prospects, how to navigate potential challenges, and how to find (or create) your dream rural-remote semiconductor role.
