FPGA Engineer in City of Westminster, Greater London

FPGA Engineer – Digital Control Systems

Location: Central London (Hybrid)

Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

Job Type: Permanent, Full Time

We are recruiting for an exciting opportunity with an innovative technology company developing next-generation quantum computing systems.

Our client is seeking an experienced FPGA Engineer to join its R&D team, developing high-performance digital control hardware for advanced photonic computing systems.

Working alongside electronics engineers, physicists and software developers, you will take responsibility for FPGA development, from initial architecture and RTL design through to implementation, testing and validation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop FPGA-based digital control systems.

• Develop RTL using Verilog, SystemVerilog or VHDL.

• Undertake simulation, synthesis, timing analysis and verification.

• Develop high-speed, low-latency digital control and signal processing systems.

• Work with ADCs, DACs and high-speed digital interfaces.

• Collaborate with electronics engineers on FPGA hardware integration and PCB development.

• Undertake FPGA bring-up, debugging and hardware validation.

Skills and Experience

• Degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics or a related discipline.

• Strong FPGA development experience using Verilog, SystemVerilog or VHDL.

• Experience of RTL design, simulation, synthesis and timing closure.

• Good understanding of FPGA architectures, clock domain crossing and digital signal processing.

• Experience implementing and testing FPGA designs on physical hardware.

• Familiarity with FPGA development tools such as Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus.

Desirable Experience

• High-speed ADC/DAC interfacing and waveform generation.

• Deterministic, low-latency control systems.

• Scientific instrumentation, photonics, telecommunications or aerospace electronics.

• Custom PCB development and hardware bring-up.

• Formal verification, SystemVerilog testbenches or HLS.

A background in quantum computing is not required. Candidates with relevant PhD or postdoctoral research experience involving substantial practical FPGA development are also encouraged to apply.

This is an excellent opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology, developing sophisticated hardware within a multidisciplinary engineering team.

If you're an FPGA Engineer looking for a technically challenging position with significant responsibility and the opportunity to contribute to next-generation computing technology, we'd be delighted to hear from you.
