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 Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Platforms & Techniques to Learn Now

As chip demand surges across AI, automotive, defence, 5G and consumer electronics, the UK’s semiconductor sector is undergoing a resurgence. With new government investment and domestic R&D growing, employers are looking for engineers and technicians who understand the tools, design flows, and fabrication technologies powering modern chip development. Welcome to the Semiconductor Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the software, simulation tools, lab techniques, and platforms most in demand across the UK semiconductor industry. Whether you’re a silicon design engineer, process technician or verification expert, this guide helps you keep your skillset aligned with real hiring needs.

How to Find Hidden Semiconductor Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like IET, SEMI & More

The UK semiconductor sector is expanding—from chip design and fabrication to testing, automotive systems, IoT and quantum applications. But most of the best roles in this mission-critical field are never advertised publicly, often staying hidden within the専門 technical community. In this guide, we’ll reveal how to access these hidden semiconductor job opportunities in the UK by leveraging membership of professional bodies like the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET), SEMI, EPSRC/Semiconductor Research Group, TechUK, and grassroots electronics‑hardware communities. Learn how to use directories, SIGs, CPD events and industry networks to get your name in front of hiring managers—before roles hit job boards.

How to Get a Better Semiconductor Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the semiconductor industry can be a shock—especially when your role is technical, precision-driven, and often tied to global supply chain dynamics. But with the UK government backing chip design and manufacturing through initiatives like the National Semiconductor Strategy, the future of the industry is strong. Whether you're a process engineer, chip designer, fabrication specialist, or semiconductor physicist, this guide will help you transition confidently into your next role.
