  • Develop low-level software (C) to facilitate FPGA testing and integration with wider embedded systems.
  • Maintain a high standard of design documentation and configuration management, ensuring designs are thoroughly detailed and aligned with industry best practices.
  • Promote collaboration and drive a culture of continuous improvement within your team, ensuring successful, on-time delivery of project milestones.


What We’re Looking For

  • Proven leadership experience in FPGA design, with a track record of successfully managing complex projects.
  • Extensive experience in designing complex FPGA systems using VHDL, Simulink, and other design tools.
  • In-depth knowledge of FPGA architectures, targeting Xilinx, Intel, and Microsemi devices.
  • Expertise in verification methodologies, including the use of VHDL and System Verilog/UVM.
  • Familiarity with FPGA design toolsets and verification tools such as QuestaSim and ModelSim.
  • Ability to develop low-level software (C) for FPGA integration and testing.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to configure and document designs to a high professional standard.
  • A collaborative mindset with a strong desire to work in a team-focused, high-performance environment.


Why Work in Defence?

  • Impactful Projects: Be part of the team developing state-of-the-art defence technologies that protect national security and help safeguard the world.
  • Innovation: Work with the latest FPGA technologies, tackling challenging and rewarding problems in the defence sector.
