Job description

Join an employee-owned engineering firm whose FPGA technology is flying on satellites and supporting space missions worldwide. With over 50% of the company owned by its employees, this is a unique opportunity to contribute to mission-critical hardware and share in the success of a globally respected space technology company.As an FPGA Engineer, you'll work hands-on with high-reliability digital subsystems-developing IP cores and data-handling architectures that support the latest onboard networks and avionics platforms.As the FPGA Engineer you'll be working on:

  • Design and implementation of FPGA logic using VHDL
  • Simulation and testbench development for design verification
  • Timing closure, synthesis, and integration across FPGA platforms
  • Supporting digital communication systems and high-speed interface development
  • Collaborating with engineering teams on space-qualified, flight-ready systems

Requirements

  • Strong VHDL and digital design skills, including simulation and debugging
  • Experience designing FPGAs for aerospace or high-reliability environments
  • Knowledge of SpaceWire, SpaceFibre, or similar onboard data protocols
  • Background in DSP, comms systems, or high-speed peripheral integration
  • Familiarity with fault tolerance or radiation-aware design
