Senior FPGA Design Engineer Paignton, Devon (Hybrid)
Up to £80k + share options + benefits
This is an exciting and new opportunity for an experienced FPGA design engineer to join a start-up involved with the research, development and design of optics / photonic technologies. Their technologies radically improve network speed and energy efficiency.
This FPGA design role requires:
* Excellent VHDL and RTL experience coupled with the use of tools such as Quartus and QuestaSim. Able to define microarchitectures.
* Extensive hands-on industry experience of FPGA design for network applications at 100Gbps and above
* Experience with embedded systems, including soft processors (Nios/Microblaze/RISC V) and SoC programming
* Experience with high-performance FPGA devices: Cyclone V, Intel Agilex 7 or Xilinx Versal Premium
* Experience using PCIe, CXL, RDMA, DDR4, bare metal use of high-speed transceivers, Ethernet, IP
* Excellent communication, organisation and motivational skills
* The ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving, start-up organisation
* Knowledge of highspeed network interface and optical transceiver systems would be preferable
You will need a strong electronics product development background and experience with highspeed network interface or optical transceiver products would be excellent.
FPGA design candidates may have worked in other arenas involving highspeed network technologies (e.g. network, and data centre hardware, telecoms systems, storage / servers / HPC, consumer electronics or specialist test and measurement products).
Skills / Experience required: Senior FPGA Design Engineer
* A degree or masters in a relevant subject area (e.g. electronics engineering)
* Experience of FPGA design for products used in high-speed networking applications – e.g. optical transceivers, network / data centre electronics, telecoms systems, storage / servers / HPC, consumer electronics or specialist test and measurement products
* Excellent VHDL and RTL experience coupled with the use of tools such as Quartus and QuestaSim. Able to define microarchitectures.
