FPGA Engineer

FPGA Engineer Overview

This is a hands-on FPGA engineering opportunity with a UK-based product company developing advanced vision and imaging platforms used internationally across life sciences, manufacturing, robotics, and other sectors. The role sits at the centre of complex hardware development and offers the chance to build production-quality FPGA solutions that have a direct impact on real products. It is also positioned as a stable, long-term career move within a business that values deep engineering expertise and enduring customer relationships.

What you will do

• Lead and own challenging FPGA hardware development work for next-generation imaging systems.
• Build FPGA designs from the ground up, using VHDL and SystemVerilog as the main implementation languages.
• Develop and support high-speed interfaces including PCIe, CoaXPress, MIPI, DDR4/DDR5, Ethernet, and QSFP.
• Perform simulation, verification, and fault-finding using advanced testing and debugging approaches.
• Contribute throughout the product lifecycle, from prototype stages through to final release.
• Work in close partnership with hardware, software, and production teams to deliver complete solutions.
• Help create robust designs that are intended for production use and have clear commercial impact.

What the employer is looking for

• Practical FPGA development experience, ideally gained with Xilinx, Intel, or Lattice devices.
• Confidence in creating, validating, and documenting FPGA-based systems.
• A solid grasp of digital hardware principles and how FPGA designs integrate with PCB-level hardware.
• Understanding of EMI and EMC considerations in electronic design.
• Experience working on high-speed digital systems or similarly complex hardware projects.
• Useful additional experience in imaging technologies, Python or TCL scripting, or CI/CD practices.
• A collaborative engineer who is comfortable working across disciplines in a multidisciplinary product development setting.

What is on offer

• Hybrid working in a location just outside London, in Berkshire.
• The chance to join a very experienced engineering team with global reach.
• Health and wellbeing benefits.
• Gym discounts.
• A bonus scheme.
• Long-term stability and the opportunity to build a career with lasting development prospects.
