Job DescriptionSenior / Principal FPGA Engineer Are you an experienced FPGA Engineer looking for your next technically challenging role? We are recruiting for a Senior / Principal FPGA Engineer to support the design, development and verification of advanced FPGA solutions across complex engineering programmes. This is a full time permanent role based in Edinburgh. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a global engineering services organisation working with major OEMs and contributing to high-impact technology projects in a collaborative, technically skilled environment.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Designing and developing FPGA solutions using VHDL-based design techniques.
- Supporting verification activities using VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog and/or relevant methodologies.
- Working with Systems, Hardware and Software teams to support integration across complex systems.
- Capturing requirements and translating system or hardware needs into detailed FPGA requirements.
- Debugging FPGA designs and supporting hardware and system-level integration and verification.
- Maintaining clear technical documentation, configuration management and revision control.
- Providing progress updates, technical input and day-to-day coordination across engineering activities.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong FPGA design experience using VHDL and/or Verilog.
- Experience with Mentor Graphics tools, including HDL Designer, ModelSim / Questa and Precision.
- Knowledge of Xilinx, Intel / Altera or Microsemi / Actel design flows, including ISE, Vivado and Quartus.
- Experience specifying timing and area constraints for FPGA place and route.
- Independent FPGA verification experience using VHDL.
- Experience with requirements capture and requirements management tools.
- Understanding of FPGA version control, configuration management and revision control.
- Ability to derive detailed FPGA requirements from system and hardware-level requirements.
- Confident debugging FPGA designs and supporting integration at hardware and system level.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across engineering disciplines.
- Nice to Have
- Experience developing real-time, embedded or safety-critical FPGA designs, ideally to RTCA/DO-254 DAL A or B standards.
- SystemVerilog and/or UVM verification experience.
- Background in Aerospace, Defence or another highly regulated engineering environment.
- Experience with embedded processor cores, such as ARM, within FPGA designs.
- Familiarity with current FPGA device families.
- Experience working in an agile delivery environment.
Qualifications and Clearance
Honours degree, or equivalent qualification, in Electronics Engineering or another STEM-related subject. UK citizenship is required to support background checks and obtain SC clearance. Current valid SC clearance would be beneficial.
