A cutting-edge engineering team at European Tech Recruit specializes in hardware platform development. We are seeking a Lead FPGA / Embedded-Systems Engineer to lead FPGA design initiatives.
This is a full-time, permanent role based in the UK. The successful candidate will lead a team in creating FPGA prototypes and reference designs for IP platforms used by software developers and external partners.
The key responsibilities of this position include:
* Leading and mentoring a team in developing FPGA implementations, from design to hardware commissioning.
* Collaborating with development teams to break down high-level requirements into detailed design specs.
* Overseeing project planning and delivery, identifying risks and tracking milestones.
* Developing efficient FPGA designs, including RTL creation and implementation, for both internal and third-party platforms.
Key Requirements:
* Proven leadership in FPGA engineering with strong project planning abilities.
* Proficiency in the FPGA design flow, including RTL design, simulation, synthesis, and place-and-route.
* Strong coding skills in Verilog/SystemVerilog or VHDL.
* Experience with scripting for design automation (e.g., Python, TCL).
* Experience with debugging complex designs, embedded software, and hardware simulation.
* Knowledge of Xilinx UltraScale+ devices, Synplify toolchain, and DDR memory implementation.
* Familiarity with ARM IP and AMBA standards, with skills in C/C++ and UNIX scripting a plus.
Salary: £80,000 - £110,000 per annum, depending on experience.
