Senior Firmware Design Engineer

2 months ago


Reading, Reading, United Kingdom ALL Full time

At ALL.SPACE, we're at the forefront of producing cutting-edge stand-alone phased-array antennas. This means we cover the entire electronics spectrum. Our team designs and manufactures both the electronics hardware (power, analogue, digital, and RF) and firmware/software that powers our products. FPGAs are crucial components of our antennas, and our FPGA firmware designers take on the full development process: from requirement negotiation and initial design architecture to formal validation and verification. The work is challenging but highly rewarding.

Responsibilities:
  1. Develop industry-standard FPGA firmware that implements signal processing functions, glue logic, and high-speed interfaces.
  2. Create testbenches for FPGA firmware and perform verification tasks.
  3. Design firmware for complex FPGAs, SoCs, and PLDs.
  4. Test firmware on system hardware.
  5. Support integration efforts as needed.
  6. Collaborate with team leaders to develop project plans and deliver firmware on time.
  7. Review and provide feedback on peer-developed firmware code.

This role requires a proactive 'can-do' attitude, excellent communication skills, and the ability to present information clearly. A strong understanding of electronic engineering principles, binary arithmetic, and digital logic design is also essential.

We offer an estimated annual salary of £60,000 - £80,000, depending on experience, as well as a comprehensive benefits package including pension, 25 days holiday, bonus, stock options, and career development opportunities. We prioritise hybrid working and offer flexible arrangements.
