FPGA Design Engineer - Certain Advantage : Job Details

World Class Defence Organisation based in Stevenage (the role will be a hybrid of Working From Home and onsite) is currently looking to recruit 3x FPGA Design EngineerSubcontractors on an initial 12 month contract.

Contract Duration: 12 Months (initially and then ongoing thereafter)

Hourly Rate: £90ph (Umbrella)

FPGA Design Engineer Job Description:

For this role, we are seeking an experienced FPGA design and verification engineer (~4+ years), to support the development of our growing portfolio of complex FPGA projects. The current portfolio ranges from advanced signal processing systems (Image\Radio), core embedded processing systems, through to safety & security critical systems.

Responsibilities:

The role involves working at all phases of the FPGA design and verification cycle; hence, the candidate would be responsible some of the following key activities:

• Generating complex FPGA architectures and design implementations (VHDL, Simulink etc), targeting Xilinx, Intel, Microsemi devices.
• Verifying complex FPGA implementations using VHDL and System Verilog\UVM test-bench methodologies.
• Using FPGA design toolsets and Mentor verification tools (QuestaSim & ModelSim).
• Generating low-level software (C) to facilitate FPGA test and integration with the wider embedded system.
• Configuring and Documenting designs to a high professional standard.
• Working as part of a multidiscipline team to deliver complex FPGA based projects.

Skillset/experience required:

• Ideally we are looking for candidates that are degree qualified (or equivalent) with significant experience in FPGA development.
• Competent VHDL Language and Design Skills.
• Competent Verification Skills using VHDL and SystemVerilog methodologies
• A deep proven level of experience designing for Xilinx, Intel or Microsemi FPGAs
• Experience of professionally configuring and documenting designs
• Experience of working as part of a large multidiscipline team
