Senior FPGA Design Engineer – Build Tech That Will Orbit the Earth

Southampton (Hybrid – 2 days onsite)

Up to £80k + Bonus + Equity + Private Medical + Pension

Satellites are getting smarter. This company is building the signal processing hardware that’s making it happen.

They’re tackling one of the toughest problems in mobile communications: putting full 5G base stations in orbit. That means power-efficient, high-throughput digital signal processing running on space-qualified devices—and they’re looking for another FPGA expert to help make it real.

Responsibilities

This is a hands-on role focused on RTL development and integration of complex IP blocks targeting both FPGA and ASIC. You’ll work across the full development flow: writing Verilog/SystemVerilog, working on timing closure and synthesis, and helping with system integration and lab validation. You’ll also be collaborating closely with other engineers—from algorithms to verification.

The ideal background? Real-time, high-speed FPGA design. Signal processing knowledge is a bonus. UVM, Python scripting, or experience with AMBA protocols? Even better.
