Are you an experienced FPGA Engineer looking for your next technically challenging role? We are recruiting for a Senior / Principal FPGA Engineer to support the design, development and verification of advanced FPGA solutions across complex engineering programmes
This is a full time permanent role based in Edinburgh.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a global engineering services organisation working with major OEMs and contributing to high-impact technology projects in a collaborative, technically skilled environment.
Key focus: FPGA design, VHDL / Verilog development, independent verification, requirements capture, integration support and collaboration across Systems, Hardware and Software teams.
The Opportunity
As Senior / Principal FPGA Engineer, you will play a key role in developing robust FPGA designs and supporting their verification, integration and delivery. You will work as part of a multi-disciplinary engineering team, taking ownership of technical activities and helping to resolve complex design and integration challenges.
What You’ll Be Doing
-
Designing and developing FPGA solutions using VHDL-based design techniques.
-
Supporting verification activities using VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog and/or relevant methodologies.
-
Working with Systems, Hardware and Software teams to support integration across complex systems.
-
Capturing requirements and translating system or hardware needs into detailed FPGA requirements.
-
Debugging FPGA designs and supporting hardware and system-level integration and verification.
-
Maintaining clear technical documentation, configuration management and revision control.
-
Providing progress updates, technical input and day-to-day coordination across engineering activities.
What We’re Looking For - Essential Skills and Experience
-
Strong FPGA design experience using VHDL and/or Verilog.
-
Experience with Mentor Graphics tools, including HDL Designer, ModelSim / Questa and Precision.
-
Knowledge of Xilinx, Intel / Altera or Microsemi / Actel design flows, including ISE, Vivado and Quartus.
-
Experience specifying timing and area constraints for FPGA place and route.
-
Independent FPGA verification experience using VHDL.
-
Experience with requirements capture and requirements management tools.
-
Understanding of FPGA version control, configuration management and revision control.
-
Ability to derive detailed FPGA requirements from system and hardware-level requirements.
-
Confident debugging FPGA designs and supporting integration at hardware and system level.
-
Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across engineering disciplines.
Desirable:
-
Experience developing real-time, embedded or safety-critical FPGA designs, ideally to RTCA/DO-254 DAL A or B standards.
-
SystemVerilog and/or UVM verification experience.
-
Background in Aerospace, Defence or another highly regulated engineering environment.
-
Experience with embedded processor cores, such as ARM, within FPGA designs.
-
Familiarity with current FPGA device families.
-
Experience working in an agile delivery environment.
Qualifications and Clearance
-
Honours degree, or equivalent qualification, in Electronics Engineering or another STEM-related subject.
-
UK citizenship is required to support background checks and obtain SC clearance.
-
Current valid SC clearance would be beneficial.
