Join Our Client's Cutting-Edge Space Innovation Team as an FPGA Engineer
Role Summary
This position is vital in driving our Client's strategic expansion in the space economy. As part of their UK operations, you will contribute to the development of advanced space sensors and communication technology for exploration and operational missions. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on high-stakes projects that push the boundaries of current technology and inspire the next generation of space innovations. Your expertise will play a key role in designing and verifying FPGA solutions essential for high-reliability space systems.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop satellite telecommunication payloads across various orbits and mission profiles.
- Translate subsystem requirements into FPGA architectures and design specifications.
- Conduct verification activities for FPGAs used in high-reliability space applications.
- Architect, design, and implement complex FPGA solutions using Microchip devices tailored for space environments.
- Develop intellectual property (IP) cores for AMD System-on-Chips (SoCs).
- Ensure designs meet the stringent standards for space and high-reliability applications, including signal integrity and robustness.
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.
