FPGA Engineer – Cambridge – Wireless Communications

Build the FPGA technology behind advanced cellular communication systems. We are supporting a Cambridge-based engineering company designing and manufacturing its own wireless platforms, spanning software-defined radio, digital signal processing, and cellular base station technology. They are looking for an FPGA Engineer to strengthen their digital design team.

Working alongside experienced Senior and Principal Engineers, you’ll take ownership of significant areas of the FPGA design while continuing to develop your technical expertise. The position offers exposure to the complete product lifecycle, from initial specification and RTL development through to verification, hardware implementation, and deployment.

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.
