Description:
We are recruiting for a Senior FPGA Engineer to join a specialist engineering and R&D business developing advanced sensing and Edge-AI technology.
This is a hands-on role with genuine ownership of the FPGA architecture, working across high-speed data acquisition, SoC-FPGA integration, real-time DSP and future CNN acceleration.
The Role
You will work with modern SoC-FPGA platforms, including technology such as Xilinx Zynq UltraScale, taking ownership of areas including:
* VHDL / Verilog / SystemVerilog development
* ADC and LVDS data acquisition
* DMA and high-speed data movement
* AXI interfaces and PS/PL integration
* DDR memory and streaming pipelines
* Clocking, timing closure and CDC
* FPGA DSP including filters, FFT and cross-correlation
* Hardware bring-up and debugging
* Embedded Linux / PetaLinux integration
* Longer-term FPGA-based CNN acceleration
The role will evolve from building a reliable high-speed acquisition platform into implementing real-time DSP and reconstruction directly within FPGA fabric.
What We’re Looking For
You will be an experienced FPGA Engineer with strong hands-on RTL skills and experience with:
* SoC-FPGA platforms
* High-speed data acquisition
* AXI and DMA
* Timing closure and clock-domain crossing
* FPGA-based DSP
* Embedded software integration
Experience with Zynq UltraScale+, PetaLinux, PYNQ, Python/Jupyter, imaging, instrumentation or AI acceleration would be advantageous
