- Lead FPGA Design Engineer, Southampton
- Full-time, permanent, salary up to £75,000
We’re working with a technology company doing some genuinely exciting things in advanced electronics. They are looking for a Lead FPGA Design Engineer to join the team on a full-time permanent basis in Southampton.
This job would suit someone who wants to stay hands-on with design work but is also ready to lead and support a team. You’ll be involved across the full development lifecycle, helping shape the direction of projects while still writing code and solving technical challenges yourself.
The role of the Lead FPGA Design Engineer :
- Leading and mentoring a team of FPGA engineers
- Owning the technical direction for FPGA development across several product lines
- Designing and developing FPGA solutions using VHDL or Verilog
- Overseeing verification, validation, and integration of designs
- Working on high-performance designs, often involving video or RF signal processing
The ideal Lead FPGA Design Engineer:
- A degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or something similar
- At least 10 years of hands-on FPGA design experience
- Comfortable leading others and making technical decisions
- Solid experience with VHDL or Verilog and common FPGA toolsets
- A good grasp of high-speed digital design
- You’ll need to be eligible for UK Security Clearance
The job offer:
- Salary up to £75,000 (depending on experience)
- Hybrid working and flexible hours
- A strong benefits package including private health, dental and company shares
- A mix of leadership and technical work, this isn’t a desk-only job
- Projects that will keep you engaged and challenged
If you’re a Lead FPGA engineer looking to take the next step, or already leading and want to stay hands-on, this is a great opportunity to do both. Please only apply to this job if you are within a commutable distance to Southampton or are willing to relocate from somewhere else in the UK.
