FPGA Engineer

OverviewWe’re supporting a pioneering technology company in Cambridge that’s building cutting-edge control infrastructure for distributed, ultra-low latency systems. They’re now seeking a Principal FPGA Engineer to take a key role in developing high-performance digital control and networking subsystems on advanced Xilinx platforms. This is a senior, hands-on position with influence across architecture, verification, and system integration. You’ll be working on time-critical applications involving 10G/25G networking, real-time packet processing, and precision timing—supporting a wider mission that combines hardware, software, and optical systems in a truly novel way.ResponsibilitiesLead FPGA development for timing-critical control systems on Zynq and Ultrascale platformsDesign and implement low-latency packet processing pipelines and digital interfacesSupport system-level integration, debug, and performance tuningDefine and contribute to verification strategies, automation flows, and CI pipelinesCollaborate with cross-functional teams on architecture and system co-designIdeal ProfileExtensive RTL design experience (SystemVerilog/VHDL) with a focus on performance and timing closureHands-on with Vivado, Xilinx SoCs, and high-speed interface protocols (AXI, PCIe, SPI, I2C)Strong background in FPGA-based networking or hardware accelerationProficient in Python for scripting, modelling, or toolingComfortable working in a lab with oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and debuggersThis is a high-impact role at the intersection of digital design, hardware-software integration, and precision systems engineering—ideal for a technically strong engineer ready to lead from the front.If you’re interested in the position of Principal FPGA Engineer, please apply or contact Sam Cruse.Seniority levelMid-Senior levelEmployment typeFull-timeJob functionEngineering and Information TechnologyIndustriesStaffing and Recruiting
