FPGA Engineer

This isn’t just product development - it’s the creation of a cutting-edge system that will shape future technologies from the ground up.

The opportunity:
Join a business-critical greenfield project at a pivotal stage, with full ownership of FPGA design on a brand-new system. You’ll be hands-on in defining how the FPGA integrates into the broader product architecture, utilizing modern hardware and collaborating closely with both hardware and embedded software teams. Your role will be instrumental – enabling the RF chain, handling signal processing, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in modern FPGA development.

What we need:

Expertise in FPGA development using VHDL / Verilog
Strong understanding of system-level design
Ideally experience with Xilinx toolchain - Vivado, Zynq/ZU boards 

Desirable:

Familiarity with SoC
Radar system experience
Working knowledge of DSP in FPGA environments 

What you'll do:
Take ownership of a key part of the system architecture, working alongside a permanent DSP specialist and senior hardware engineers. You’ll be involved from device selection to schematic design, integration, and lab-based testing.

Why join:
This is an opportunity to step into a senior-level role with genuine influence over the technical direction of a new product. This is ground-up, forward-looking design using the latest tools and platforms. Expect plenty of autonomy, technical challenge, and the chance to leave your mark on a flagship product.

What’s on offer:

Salary: Up to circa £65K (flexible depending on experience)
Hybrid working (typically 3 days onsite)
Location: South West London

Semiconductor Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the semiconductor jobs market is in that awkward phase of being both overheated and cautious. Global chip demand is booming again, driven by AI, data centres, automotive, defence, 5G and consumer electronics. Fab capacity is set to hit record highs as new plants come online worldwide. At the same time, we are seeing: Waves of investment and hiring in some regions and companies. Restructuring and layoffs in others, as firms rebalance portfolios and chase AI margins. A deepening global skills shortage, with forecasts of major shortfalls in engineers and technicians by 2030. For the UK, the sector is small but strategically vital. The National Semiconductor Strategy, public funding and participation in European chip programmes are all aimed at building domestic capability in design, compound semiconductors and advanced manufacturing. So what does all this mean for semiconductor jobs in 2026 – and for employers trying to recruit in a brutally competitive market?

Semiconductor Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK semiconductor hiring has shifted from credentials & tool lists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises shipped silicon, yield/reliability gains, verification coverage, DFM/DFT maturity, robust bring‑up, safe/efficient fab operations and measurable business impact (PPM, YMS wins, time‑to‑yield, test cost, opex). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for RTL/ASIC/SoC, analog/mixed‑signal/RF, verification, physical design, DFT/ATPG, product/test, failure analysis & reliability, process/device, equipment/maintenance, EHS, supply chain & operations roles. Who this is for: Digital design & verification engineers, PD & timing closure, analog/mixed‑signal/RF designers, DFT/ATPG/BIST, STA/PDN/SI/PI specialists, product/test engineers (ATE/DFT), yield/reliability & FA, device/process (FEOL/BEOL), equipment & facilities, EHS/compliance, supply‑chain/outsourcing (OSAT/Foundry), and programme/product managers across the UK semicon ecosystem.

Why Semiconductor Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Semiconductors power everything from smartphones to advanced computing to automotive systems. The UK semiconductor industry is expanding amid renewed global interest in chip sovereignty and lithography innovation. But the demands on professionals in semiconductor roles are shifting too. Today, semiconductor careers are no longer limited to clean-room engineers or circuit layout designers. Because chips affect data privacy, critical infrastructure, supply security and performance constraints, careers in this sphere are becoming deeply multidisciplinary. Knowledge in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design is increasingly relevant to semiconductor engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why semiconductor careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with semiconductor work, and what job-seekers & employers can do to adapt.
