Job description
The Opportunity
We're looking for several talented FPGA Design Engineers to join our client, developing cutting-edge technology across a broad range of applications. Projects span from advanced signal processing systems (Image/Radio), through to core embedded processing platforms and safety/security-critical systems!
In this role, you'll be involved in all phases of the FPGA design lifecycle - from requirements capture through to final validated design. You'll have the opportunity to influence architecture, work with the latest technologies from top FPGA vendors, and collaborate closely with multi-disciplinary teams across engineering domains.
What You'll Be Doing
- Designing and implementing complex FPGA architectures using VHDL, Simulink, and related tools
- Targeting devices from leading vendors including Xilinx, Intel, and Microsemi
- Developing verification environments and testbenches using VHDL, SystemVerilog, and UVM methodologies
- Utilizing industry-standard toolsets such as QuestaSim and ModelSim
- Writing and integrating low-level software in C to support FPGA testing and embedded system integration
- Producing high-quality design documentation and ensuring designs meet stringent engineering standards
- Collaborating with hardware, software, and systems teams throughout the development process
What We're Looking For
- A degree (or equivalent qualification/experience) in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- Proven experience in FPGA design and development, ideally across the full development lifecycle
- Strong knowledge of HDL languages (VHDL/SystemVerilog) and design methodologies
- Familiarity with FPGA verification frameworks and tools
- Experience writing embedded C for system bring-up and integration
- Ability to work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team
- Excellent communication and documentation skills
Why Join our client?
- Work on innovative and meaningful projects with real-world impact
- Access the latest FPGA technologies and tools
- Be part of a supportive, growing team of experts and specialists

One of the main advantages is that it's a good way to cast your job searching net out wide. Recruiters often have a number of similar positions on the go with different clients, so if you're unsuccessful with one position, you can be put forward for many other vacancies at the same time, increasing the likelihood of you landing your dream job faster and with a lot less effort.
Does Matchtech take a cut of my pay if I use them to find my next job?
Absolutely not! We charge the end client for our services, not the candidate. So you can rest assured that there is no difference to your pay when being placed into a new role by Matchtech.
