About The Role
This permanent High Speed FPGA Hardware Engineer VHDL position in Waltham Cross involves designing advanced digital electronics within a skilled engineering team. Duties cover FPGA development for high speed communications protocols such as Ethernet, CAN and LIN, alongside digital video, compression and RF systems. The engineer will create multilayer PCB layouts using Orcad and Altium, simulate analogue sections, and interface with RF hardware. Firmware tasks require VHDL or Embedded C to bridge between software and circuitry, with MATLAB used for modelling. Verification and testing of new assemblies, plus translating specifications into board-level solutions, form part of the work. Candidates need a strong electronics degree and a record of delivering right-first-time designs within budget. Salary ranges from £58,000 to £72,000 annually.
