You will play a key role in designing and developing high-speed FPGA-based systems, working across the full product lifecycle—from concept through to production. This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge embedded systems, signal processing, and high-speed digital design, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams in a dynamic environment.

Key Responsibilities for the FPGA Engineer Role Based in Egham

  • Design and develop FPGA firmware using VHDL for high-performance applications
  • Implement high-speed digital signal processing systems using ADCs, DACs, and memory interfaces
  • Manage the full firmware development lifecycle (design, implementation, verification, and production release)
  • Debug and troubleshoot hardware and firmware issues using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analysers)
  • Develop and execute verification & validation plans
  • Collaborate with hardware, software, and production teams to ensure seamless system integration
  • Produce and maintain technical documentation, including specifications, test reports, and production documentation
  • Support manufacturing and production teams with technical expertise
  • Contribute to continuous improvement and innovation in FPGA and embedded technologies

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.
