What you will do Firmware requirements capture and management FPGA design and analysis Production of documentation for design reviews and engineering support Development of FPGA test and integration plans System integration with PCB designers and Embedded software engineers Support firmware designs through a structured development process (training provided) Modification and maintenance of existing firmware designs and testbenches Key skills Experience with FPGA technologies (Xilinx, Microsemi/Actel, or Lattice) and associated toolchains Advanced verification techniques using VHDL or System Verilog/UVM Ability to define and manage timing and area constraints for FPGA implementation Experience translating system-level requirements into detailed firmware requirements Structured firmware development life cycle experience (DO-254 or similar regulated processes) Experience debugging FPGA designs and supporting hardware/software integration Strong technical decision-making and risk mitigation skills in FPGA design Familiarity with Siemens EDA tools (HDL Designer, ModelSim/Questa) is advantageous Experience with electro-optic systems (eg cameras, thermal imaging or image processing)
Radar Systems Analyst required to join a team developing advanced radar systems. You will model, design, and analyse radar and related systems, support hardware and software development, and develop digital signal processing algorithms. Key Requirements Bachelor or Master degree in Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics. Experience with MATLAB and digital signal processing. Knowledge of radar or related technologies ( sonar, image processing, communications). Strong team player with good written and verbal communication. Willingness to travel in the UK and overseas. Desirable Radar concepts Pulse Compression, Doppler, CFAR. Experience with Phased Array Radar, FPGA, Linux, RF electronics. Programming in Python, C++ and lab hardware testing experience.
