FPGA Hardware Engineer (Digital)

As an FPGA Engineer, you will be a member of a dedicated team of experts responsible for the design and verification of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). 

You will develop digital and mixed-signal electronic solutions for products such as augmented reality displays, head-up displays, mission computers, fly-by-wire flight controls, active inceptors and other associated safety-critical technology. 

The FPGA Hardware Engineer will have good interpersonal skills and will have an innovative approach to developing technical solutions. They will have the ability to work to tight timescales and budgets and have a positive “can do” attitude.

KEY DUTIES

• Providing technical expertise in the development and delivery of FPGA solutions, including: requirements development, producing concept and detailed designs, synthesis and place-and-route, and verification of the design.
• Understanding of FPGA design constraints and their impacts on other engineering disciplines.
• Managing your own tasks within defined schedules and budgets to meet programme needs.
• Delivering design artefacts in support of company standards.

KEY SKILLS

• Mentor Graphics ModelSim, Questa Prime
• Vendor specific tools, e.g. Vivado, Libero
• Configuration management tools, e.g. Git
• System development tools, e.g. SysML, Matlab, Simulink
• Requirements management tools, e.g. DOORS
• Working to DO-254
• Proven knowledge of FPGA technologies, development tools and techniques
• Working in an FPGA development team

Desirable

• Digital hardware design for FPGA using VHDL
• Knowledge of video processing and control law algorithms
• Working to DO-254
• Working knowledge and experience of UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) constrained random verification
