I'm working with an established engineering consultancy in the Cambridge area that solves complex problems for defence, security, space and industrial clients. They're growing their FPGA team and are open on level, from mid-level to senior or lead.
The role
DSP is the core of this job, not a side skill. You'll design and implement signal-processing chains on FPGA for radar, RF and comms systems, taking them from client requirements and architecture through implementation, simulation and lab validation. The work is mainly on AMD/Xilinx devices, often Zynq and RFSoC, using Vivado.
What you'll be doing
- FPGA-based DSP: filtering, FFTs, down-conversion, beamforming and radar processing
- Modelling algorithms (e.g. MATLAB/Simulink) and taking them through to well-verified HDL
- Testing and validating designs on real hardware
- Turning client requirements into robust FPGA architectures
- Contributing to design reviews, proposals and estimates
- Working closely with RF, hardware and software engineers
What they're looking for
- Strong commercial VHDL and/or Verilog
- Hands-on DSP designed and implemented on FPGA
- Vivado, simulation and verification
- Signal processing in an RF, radar or comms context
- Eligible for UK security clearance
Nice to have
- Radar, EW, SIGINT or SDR experience
- Zynq or RFSoC
- System Generator, Model Composer, HDL Coder or HLS
- Consultancy or client-facing experience
What's on offer: a competitive salary and benefits, varied and technically demanding projects, real investment in your development, and a friendly, team-focused culture.
