Breakthrough technology is vital for strengthening the UK’s Defence and Homeland Security. As an FPGA Engineer at Awerian, you will be at the forefront of this innovation race to defend and protect the UK from the latest technological and cyber threats.
Your work will have a real-world impact. You will get to explore pioneering concepts by collaborating with elite multi-disciplinary teams of highly educated and skilled scientists, engineers, and designers. You’ll see ideas become a reality as you create prototypes through Awerian’s rapid approach to design and implementation. It’s a fantastically challenging, varied, and agile role.
As an FPGA Consultant, you will get to tackle diverse, real-world challenges from the ground up. Typically, this will involve going through the whole product life cycle, you’ll capture, design, develop, document, test, and deliver through to the prototype production. Awerian’s wide variety of intriguing projects, from proof-of-concept through to working prototypes, provide both intellectual and practical challenges.
Requirements
You will ideally have 3+ years relevant experience working in FPGA firmware development (in VHDL/Verilog, using a toolchain such as Vivado / Quartus), have a proven track record of design and implementation of technological solutions, and hold a relevant degree. Experience in developing Digital Signal Processing algorithms is highly advantageous.
In addition, experience in any of the following is desirable:
