Senior RTL Engineer, FPGA Systems
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 19, 2026. First seen by Alion on Aug 4, 2026. ECM Selection scores B on the Alion truth index.
This Cambridge technology company are growing their core engineering team; a half dozen senior engineers who collaborate closely on new projects. As a skilled Senior RTL Engineer with FPGA experience, you’d be working alongside peers with similar skills, as well as developers working in C++ and Rust. These technologies interface and form the backbone of a robust, high-speed and integrated solution, for deployment in high-connectivity locations worldwide.
Extensive, demanding algorithmic work is performed on top-end FPGAs from leading vendors, and these are heavily populated, utilising all available blocks. Transactions are event driven and require an extremely rapid turnaround. But, this leads to interesting and challenging work which the team very much enjoy - and hope you would too.
To be considered for this role, your CV will show:
- Extensive commercial-grade RTL experience, working on production FPGA projects where there is significant low-latency processing, and architectural considerations matter.
- Proficiency with Intel Quartus, AMD Vivado or comparable design tools.
- A collaborative approach, including experience working with firmware and/or software engineers, and ideally DevOps engineers.
You will also need to be in commute distance of Cambridge, UK (or able to relocate), and have full existing UK work permission without time limit, restriction or sponsorship.
With offices in the city of Cambridge, the company work in the office three days per week, with up to two days hybrid working. Parking is plentiful, they are in walking distance of the nearest railway station, and there are good facilities on site and more nearby. In addition to day-to-day perks, they offer a highly competitive salary and benefits.
