FPGA Engineer

This Senior FPGA / DSP Engineer role will focus on transforming advanced wireless communication algorithms into efficient, real-time FPGA implementations for an FPGA-accelerated SDR modem platform. Working closely with PHY, software, and systems engineers, you will help define the hardware-realisable architecture for our next-generation intelligent SDR modem, translating floating-point communications algorithms into high-performance fixed-point FPGA implementations suitable for field deployment. This is a hands-on role involving DSP architecture, FPGA implementation, optimisation, integration, verification, and system bring-up.

• 5+ years of industry experience developing FPGA-based DSP or communications systems;
• strong FPGA design experience using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog;
• strong understanding of fixed-point arithmetic, quantisation effects, numerical precision, and hardware implementation trade-offs;
• experience implementing high-performance parallelised DSP algorithms on FPGA platforms;
• practical experience implementing one or more of:
+ o FFTs; + o fast Hadamard transforms; + o digital filtering; + o synchronisation algorithms; + o channel estimation; + o forward error correction; + o beamforming; + o packet-processing pipelines; + experience designing high-throughput streaming architectures using AXI-Stream or equivalent interfaces; + experience analysing FPGA timing, resource utilisation, and system performance; + familiarity with MATLAB, Python, or equivalent modelling environments for algorithm validation; + strong debugging and problem-solving skills in laboratory environments; + ability to work closely with DSP, software, systems, and RF engineers
