Description:
As an experienced FPGA/Firmware engineer you will work with experts in their field, using world-class facilities to deliver Firmware for complex digital systems that meet challenging future customer requirements.
Your role may even take you across the UK or abroad for technical reviews. You will use or develop team leading experience to support the delivery of work from several engineers. Your expertise will also be key to enhance processes and ways of working across UK wide FPGA/Firmware delivery teams
What You Will Do
- Firmware requirements capture and management;
- FPGA design and analysis;
- Production of documentation for other engineers and evidence for design reviews;
- Development of FPGA test and FPGA integration plans;
- Perform system integration work with PCB designers
- Support all firmware designs through the company firmware process – training will be given
- Modification of existing firmware designs and test benches
What You’ll Bring
- An HNC/HND or Undergraduate Degree (Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, AI, Games Programming, Physics, or Applied Physics) or you may just have lots of skills and experience gained through your hard work.
- Design tools such as Xilinx, TCL, Verilog, System Verilog and UVM
- FPGA architectures such as Xilinx 7. Xilinx UltraScale; Intel (Altera) or Microsemi (Actel).
- Fast interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, and JESD is also required.
- Auto-generated code using model driven engineering using Matlab and Simulink tools
- Derivation of detailed FPGA/Firmware requirements and architecture from system requirements
- A structured approach to FPGA/firmware design (RTCA DO-254 or similar)
- Cryptography and anti-tamper techniques
- Artificial Intelligence including machine learning and genetic algorithms
- Electronics test methods and equipment
- Good verbal and written communication skills
