About the role:
Our client are looking for a skilled FPGA Engineer to join their team, focusing on the design and implementation of advanced digital systems for RF signal processing. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with VHDL, Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, and high-speed signal processing, coupled with a strong foundation in binary mathematics and real-time problem-solving abilities.
Job Responsibilities:
* Design and implement VHDL-based digital logic solutions for RF signal processing systems, ensuring high performance and reliability.
* Develop and optimize FPGA designs to handle high-speed RF signal data streams sampled from ADCs.
* Perform advanced signal processing tasks such as filtering, time delays, and precise measurements on RF data streams within the FPGA environment.
* Interface FPGA designs with DACs to convert processed digital signals back to the analog domain, ensuring waveform accuracy and integrity.
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to analyze system requirements and rapidly prototype circuits for mathematical operations and signal manipulation.
* Debug and validate FPGA implementations, ensuring robust performance under real-time constraints and complex operational scenarios.
Job Requirements:
* 5+ years industry experience VHDL and digital logic design, with hands-on experience developing solutions for Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC platforms.
* Excellent skills in binary mathematics, number format conversion and the ability to design circuits for mathematical operations.
* Demonstrated experience processing high-speed RF signal data from ADCs, including oversampling techniques and high-throughput signal processing.
* In-depth knowledge of signal processing techniques (e.g., filtering, time delays) and experience feeding processed data to DACs for analog output.
* Ability to quickly analyze requirements and provide immediate, complex solutions during design discussions and technical evaluations.
Preferred Qualifications:
* Background in RF systems and familiarity with signal processing challenges in high-speed applications.
* Industry experience in the aerospace / satellite communications sector.
