If you have strong FPGA design experience and are confident working in VHDL, we’d like to hear from you. We’re flexible about the industries, devices and tools you’ve worked with.\nWhat you’ll be working on\nYou’ll develop FPGA solutions for our embedded communications products, working closely with engineers across software, electronics, RF and systems.\nYour work will include:\nDesigning and implementing FPGA functionality in VHDL\nVerifying designs through simulation and testing on real hardware\nIntegrating FPGA designs with processors, embedded software and other hardware\nInvestigating design and system level issues during development and testing\nContributing to technical decisions from early design through to product release\nImproving and supporting FPGA designs in existing products\nYou’ll be able to see your designs running on physical products and understand how they contribute to the performance of the complete communication system.\nWhat we’re looking for\nThe two things we’re particularly interested in are hands-on FPGA design experience and strong VHDL skills. As this is a senior role, you should also be comfortable taking ownership of your work, solving complex problems and contributing your judgement to design discussions.\nBeyond that, we’re open minded. You might have worked in communications, defence or another field entirely. You don’t need experience with our specific devices, products or applications to be considered.\nUseful, but not essential\nExperience in any of these areas would be helpful, but none is a requirement:\nAMD/Xilinx devices or Vivado\nVerilog\nDigital signal processing, RF or software defined radio\nHigh speed data paths or real-time systems\nEmbedded C/C++, Python or embedded Linux\nMATLAB or similar modelling tools\nAutomated testing, CI/CD or source control\nBoard level hardware, schematics or laboratory test equipment\nIP networking or secure development practices\nIf your strength is FPGA design in VHDL and you’re interested in applying it to wireless communications, we’d welcome your application even if much of this list is new to you.\nWhy DTC?\nInteresting engineering\nYou’ll work on sophisticated wireless products alongside specialists in embedded software, electronics, RF and signal processing.\nReal products, real impact\nYour designs will run in communication systems used across defence, government, uncrewed platforms and broadcast applications around the world.\nRoom to develop\nYou’ll have opportunities to deepen your FPGA expertise and build knowledge in new areas of communications technology.\nBenefits\nOur employees receive:\n25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays\nCompany pension with matching up to 9%\nCompany bonus scheme\nFlexible core working hours\nAnnual pay reviews\nPersonal training and development\nIncome protection\nLife assurance\nEmployee Assistance Programme\nModern working environment in Whiteley\nOnsite subsidised café\nYou’ll also be joining a global organisation with engineering and technology teams across the UK, USA, Denmark, Singapore, Dubai and Australia.\nSecurity Clearance\nSuccessful applicants will need to be willing and eligible to obtain UK Security Clearance.\nInterested?\nIf you enjoy designing FPGAs in VHDL and want to see your work running in advanced wireless products, we’d like to hear from you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3773,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual
