This is an opportunity to join a global team developing ultra-low latency technology.

You will oversee all aspects of FPGA system design, driving advancements to ensure my client maintains its technological advantage by building the next generation of infrastructure.

Responsibilities as a Senior FPGA Engineer:

• Architecting and implementing RTL designs on high-end FPGAs (Xilinx / Intel).

• Performing simulation, synthesis, P&R, and timing analysis for ultra-low-latency systems.

• Leading the definition of micro-architectures and verification environments.

• Driving technical excellence across the FPGA team through mentorship and code reviews.

• Collaborating with firmware, software and infrastructure teams to optimise full-stack performance.

Requirements

• 7+ years’ FPGA / RTL design experience in timing-critical systems.

• Strong background in SystemVerilog, synthesis, timing closure and verification.

• Hands-on with Vivado / Quartus or equivalent toolchains.

• Familiarity with AXI, PCIe, Ethernet or custom high-speed interfaces.

Bonus skills for a Senior FPGA Engineer:

• Exposure to high-performance computing, networking or real-time data systems.

• Knowledge of C/C++ or Python for tooling, verification or firmware collaboration.

• Appreciation for hardware–software co-design and system-level optimisation
