Creating innovative FPGA designs for applications in sensing and secure communications With offices close to Cambridge, this established engineering company have an enviable reputation for delivering a wide range of client projects in areas such as sensors, radar, and secure communication systems, with a high proportion of their work in the government sector. They are now seeking an experienced FPGA engineer to join their multidisciplinary team. The range of projects calls for an adaptable self-directed individual with broad skills in FPGA, HDL, DSP, and tools such as Vivado. RF systems knowledge is not essential but would be advantageous, as is an understanding of electronics and firmware development. You'll be working closely with colleagues and clients to refine concepts and transform these into tested and reliable solutions on platforms such as Xilinx or Zynq. Your expertise will contribute to technical discussions and design reviews, provide valuable input to project planning, proposal creation, and help mentor less experienced colleagues. You will need: A 1st or 2.1 degree in electronics or similarly applicable subject, from a leading university and backed up by strong A-Level grades Excellent skills in FPGA and Digital Signal Processing Strong client-facing communication skills Full pre-existing UK work permission and ability to obtain a UK-eyes-only security clearance. The company offers a stimulating multidisciplinary working environment, where professional development is supported. A highly competitive salary and benefits package is on offer to the successful candidate. Another top job from ECM, the high-tech recruitment experts. Even if this job's not quite right, do contact us now - we may well have the ideal job for you. To discuss your requirements call (phone number removed) or email your CV.

About OLIX AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. OLIX is building this next paradigm; the Optical Tensor Processing Unit (OTPU) achieves performance and energy efficiency that is impossible to match from existing chips. The Role: We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Senior FPGA Engineer to design and implement the control and interface functions of our OTPU system. This role spans production system delivery and advanced hardware prototyping. You will work on high-bandwidth architectures involving high-speed interfaces, precision timing, transceivers, and signal processing pipelines. The position requires close collaboration across FPGA, ASIC, hardware, optical, and software teams. Responsibilities Design and implement FPGA subsystems and hardware modules for high-performance systems. Develop and optimise high-speed interface subsystems (PCIe Gen4, multi-lane transceivers operating at >25 Gb/s NRZ). Implement and validate link integrity features including BER measurement and error correction (ECC, including SECDED). Develop and integrate memory interfaces as required by system architecture. Contribute to hardware prototyping activities in support of silicon development. Collaborate with software engineers to enable low-level driver development and hardware control. Work with hardware and optical engineers to ensure robust system integration and synchronisation. Implement timing-critical and real-time control logic. Conduct testing, validation, and performance optimisation under demanding operating conditions. Debug complex hardware-software interactions and resolve system-level issues. Skills & Experience 5+ years of FPGA design experience, including 3+ years working with high-speed interfaces and signal processing pipelines. Strong experience with PCIe and high-speed transceivers. Solid understanding of precision timing and synchronisation in complex systems. Experience with deterministic networking and time-distribution systems (such as White Rabbit). Experience integrating external memory subsystems. Verification experience using COCOTB, UVVM, or OSVVM. Proficiency in Verilog and/or VHDL. Python and scripting experience. Experience with Xilinx/AMD UltraScale+ or Versal devices. Strong debugging skills across hardware-software boundaries. Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. Compensation & Equity Competitive salary, commensurate with your experience, skills, and location. Equity & Ownership: Meaningful stock options. You're not just joining the mission; you're owning a piece of it. Proximity Bonus: We value your time. To minimise your commute and maximise your life, we offer a £24k annual Living-Local Bonus if your residence is within 20 minutes of the office. Health & Wellbeing Premium Healthcare: Comprehensive BUPA medical and dental cover, including Medical History Disregarded (MHD), for complete peace of mind. Time Off: 25 days of annual leave, plus all UK bank holidays. The Workspace & Tech Optimal Environment: High-spec noise-cancelling headphones and a fully ergonomic workstation designed for deep focus. Rapid Prototyping: Access to our high-performance 3D printing lab for work, experimentation, and personal creative projects. Life at the Office Chef-prepared meals: if you need to work late. Caffeine on Us: We've got you covered with a tab at our favourite local coffee shop. Relocation & Global Mobility Visa Sponsorship: We hire the best in the world. We offer full UK and international visa sponsorship. Seamless Relocation: Whether you're moving across the country or across the globe, our dedicated relocation partner provides funding and concierge support to get you settled. Due to U.S. export control regulations, candidates' eligibility to work at Flux depends on their most recent citizenship or permanent residency status. We are generally unable to consider applicants whose most recent citizenship or permanent residence is in certain restricted countries (currently including Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Venezuela). Applicants who have subsequently obtained citizenship or permanent residency in another country not subject to these restrictions may still be eligible.
