Lead FPGA Firmware Design Engineer

will play a key role in the entire product development life cycle and collaborate as part of a wider multi-disciplinary team.

In this role you will focus on:

• Defining requirements and FPGA architectures alongside other hardware and software engineers.

• Specifying, designing, implementing, optimizing, and documenting FPGA firmware using industry-standard tools and methodologies.

• Developing and debugging firmware for diverse applications like signal processing, data acquisition, and control systems.

• Conducting verification and validation testing to ensure your designs meet performance and reliability requirements.

• Integrating FPGA designs and modules into larger systems and verifying their functionality.

• Collaboration with cross-functional teams.

• Applying best engineering standards and developing design practices to ensure FPGA designs comply with relevant health & safety and international standards.

We are looking for a committed and professional individual with:

• A relevant degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, or significant experience in an electrical design engineering environment.

• Strong background in FPGA design and Embedded Software design and programming.

• Ability to translate high level design requirements into efficient and robust FPGA implementations.

• Proficiency in VHDL programming languages.

• Solid understanding of digital design concepts, including Register Transfer Level (RTL) coding, synthesis, and timing closure.

• Familiarity with FPGA-based development boards and hardware description languages.

• Design of interface circuits, both analogue and digital circuits including microprocessor, FPGA and memory circuits.

• Experience with circuit simulation design tools.

• Meticulous and thorough work ethic with an attention to detail.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

What will make you stand out:

• Design of SOC (system on chip) circuits, including some appreciation of configuration and software.

• Prior experience with high-speed digital design, DSP algorithms, or embedded systems.

• Familiarity with FPGA-based development boards and hardware description languages.

• Familiarity with PCB design tools such as Altium, OrCAD, Mentor Graphics, CAD Star, etc.

• High speed communications knowledge such as Ethernet, fibre optic and higher speed derivatives thereof.

• Knowledge of power electronic converter systems and electrical machines.
