Job Description
Primary purpose of the role
The role involves taking existing FPGA design documentation, signal-mapping sheets and Proto-1 hardware from partially drafted specifications through to a working, timing-clean and system-validated FPGA implementation. The position will develop high-speed data-processing pipelines, interface with ADCs, DACs and communication peripherals, implement robust clock-domain and reset architectures, and collaborate closely with Hardware, Embedded Software and Application teams.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role requiring strong expertise in VHDL, AMD Xilinx FPGA architecture, Vivado, high-speed data acquisition, timing closure, CDC, LVDS interfaces and hardware debugging.
Major responsibilities:
1. RTL Design & FPGA Implementation
2. Clocking, CDC & Reset Architecture
3. High-Speed LVDS & Data Capture
4. Timing Closure & FPGA Optimisation
5. Verification & Validation
6. Hardware Bring-Up & Debugging
7. FPGA Configuration & Release Management
8. Cross-Functional Collaboration
9. Documentation & Design Governance
