The Role
We are looking for an experienced FPGA engineer with strong skills in HDL, the AMD Vivado toolchain, and associated simulation and test. Experience of relevant open architecture standards such as OpenCPI, STICS or SOSA. We will also consider experience with other FPGA platforms.
The successful candidate will play a key role in developing IP and delivering a wide range of client projects, predominantly focused on radar, communications and sensing applications. As a result, a solid grounding in digital signal processing is a core requirement, with experience in RF systems considered a significant advantage.
Working within a multidisciplinary consultancy team, you will help translate customer requirements into robust FPGA-based implementations, contributing across the full development lifecycle from concept and architecture through to validation and ongoing support.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Your day-to-day development work will likely be targeted at AMD (Xilinx) silicon, often Zynq SoC devices, and will involve close collaboration with hardware, software and systems engineers on technically demanding programmes. Multidisciplinary experience is therefore highly valued, particularly where candidates are also comfortable working in the electronics and firmware domains. Alternatively, we are interested in candidates with a strong core skill set who are keen to broaden their experience. As with all our engineers, adaptability and a willingness to learn are key attributes across all roles.
