Senior Design Engineer

Spectrum IT Recruitment is working with an innovative technology business developing advanced hardware for next-generation wireless and satellite communications. They’re looking for Senior Design Engineers with a main focus on RTL design using Verilog, SystemVerilog or VHDL.

The Role

You’ll develop digital hardware for high-performance communications systems, working across FPGA and ASIC design. Collaborating with algorithm, architecture and verification teams, you’ll help translate requirements into reliable, efficient hardware implementations.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate system and algorithm requirements into micro-architectures for RTL implementation.
• Develop FPGA and ASIC designs using Verilog, SystemVerilog or VHDL.
• Create testbenches and use simulation tools to validate designs.
• Deploy designs onto FPGA development platforms for validation and integration.
• Contribute to timing, resource and power optimisation.
• Collaborate across design, verification and physical implementation.
• Produce technical documentation and contribute to improvements in engineering processes.

Skills and Experience

The key requirement is hands-on RTL design experience using at least one of Verilog, SystemVerilog or VHDL.

We’re interested in candidates with:

• Knowledge of simulation and synthesis using EDA tools.
• An understanding of timing analysis and hardware resource optimisation.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to collaborate across technical teams.
• The ability to produce clear design and verification documentation.

Any experience with the following would be beneficial:

• Communications or digital signal processing algorithms.
• UVM verification.
• C++ or SystemC modelling.
• High-speed interfaces such as PCIe or JESD.
• Python scripting.
• AMD FPGAs and associated tools, or ASIC backend tools.
