This FPGA Firmware Engineer vacancy presents an exciting opportunity for an ambitious individual to develop their skills and knowledge within a thriving electronics organisation.

In this broad VHDL firmware engineering role, you will work across a range of projects throughout various stages of the product lifecycle from initial concept development through to early life production. You will work with some of the latest high-speed FPGA’s and System-on-Chips (SoC’s) to help shape our future products.

The role shall be based in either Southampton or Bristol with a primary focus on the design and development of embedded VHDL firmware for complex aircraft sensor and communication systems.

What you’ll bring:

Experience using FPGA technologies especially from either Xilinx, Microsemi (Actel) or Lattice and their tools.
Advanced verification techniques using either VHDL or System Verilog / UVM.
Specifying complex timing and area constraints for efficient FPGA place and route.
Ability to analyse system level requirements and derive detailed Firmware requirements.
A methodical approach to the full firmware design lifecycle, working to a structured firmware process such as RTCA DO-254 or similar.
Experience of working on safety related firmware to IEC 61508 would be advantageous.
De-bugging firmware designs and supporting verification and integration at hardware and system level alongside Software and Hardware Engineers.
Making technical decisions and mitigating technical risk for Firmware design activities.
Ability to communicate effectively across different disciplines both verbally and in written form.
Familiarity with Siemens EDA FPGA development tools including HDL Designer and ModelSim / Questa is an advantage.

It would be nice if you had:

Awareness of Safety, Security and other legislative constraints
Engineering experience with radio-based communication systems.
Experience of mentoring more junior members of the team.
