FPGA Firmware Engineer
KEY POINTS
• High-impact role building advanced signal processing systems on next-gen FPGA platforms
• $140,000 - $190,000 + Bonus + Benefits
• Work on mission-critical, real-time systems used in high-performance environments
ABOUT THE CLIENT
Due to continued growth, we’re supporting a specialist engineering company building high-performance signal and image processing systems used in complex, real-time environments.
Their work spans the full lifecycle from concept design through to deployment on mission-critical systems, solving technically challenging problems where performance, reliability, and precision are essential.
The team operates in a highly collaborative, engineering-led environment, working on cutting-edge hardware and software systems that push the boundaries of signal processing and real-time computation.
Following continued project wins, they are expanding their FPGA capability to support increasingly complex, high-throughput applications.
THE FPGA FIRMWARE ENGINEER ROLE
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on designing and building high-performance FPGA-based signal processing systems.
You will work across the full development lifecycle from architecture and implementation through to testing, optimization, and system integration.
The work is highly technical, involving real-time data processing, complex DSP algorithms, and tight performance constraints across modern FPGA platforms.
You will collaborate closely with hardware and software engineers to deliver robust, production-grade systems operating in demanding environments.
Key responsibilities include:
• Designing and developing FPGA firmware using VHDL/Verilog for high-performance applications
• Implementing DSP algorithms including filtering, modulation, demodulation, and error correction
• Working with Xilinx RFSoC, MPSoC, and Versal platforms
• Integrating FPGA designs with embedded systems and external hardware components
• Developing and executing test benches for validation and verification
• Debugging and resolving hardware-software integration issues
• Optimizing designs for performance, resource utilization, and power efficiency
• Conducting timing analysis to meet strict throughput and latency requirements
• Collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams on system-level architecture
FPGA FIRMWARE ENGINEER ESSENTIAL SKILLS
• 5+ years’ experience in FPGA firmware development
• Strong experience with VHDL or Verilog
• Hands-on experience with Xilinx toolchains (Vivado, Vitis, SDK)
• Strong understanding of digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms
• Experience working with high-speed data processing systems
• Experience with system integration and debugging tools
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Ability to operate in a fast-paced, highly technical engineering environment
NICE TO HAVE
• Experience with RFSoC or Versal devices
• Knowledge of high-speed interfaces such as JESD204B or PCIe
• Experience integrating ADC/DAC components
• Familiarity with Python or C/C++
• Experience with MATLAB for modelling and analysis
• Background in defense, aerospace, or telecommunications environments
• Experience working with real-time embedded systems
