  • Experience of implementing signal processing algorithms with high-speed I/O in FPGA.
  • Understanding of the design of high-speed digital circuits for real-time systems.
  • Experience of design verification by both simulation (SystemVerilog or similar) and hardware testing.
  • Experience of software design using C/C++, Python, or Rust.
  • Proficient using test equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, signal generators, etc.
  • Excellent interpersonal and written communication skills to allow efficient hybrid office/home collaborative working.

Additional desirable requirements

  • Understanding of radar signal processing techniques.
  • Embedded Linux C/C++ development.
  • Familiarity with Yocto and/or Petalinux build systems.
