Senior Design Engineer
Department: Hardware
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Cambridge
Reporting To: Tom Hollis
Description
We are looking for multiple Senior Design Engineers who will work on revolutionary technology that is at the leading edge of non-terrestrial communications, a 5G base station to be deployed on board satellites. This technology will underpin the next generation of mobile standards, giving complete coverage to the entire globe. AccelerComm develops the baseband signal processing technology, using hardware acceleration to generate world-leading error resilience, capacity and power efficiency.
You will work on the latest generation space-qualified devices, delivering standalone IP and integrated IP solutions.
This is a Cambridge based role; please also take a look at our vacancies in Southampton and Bristol.
Key Responsibilities
- Work closely with the Algorithm and System Architecture teams to understand requirements and translate them into micro-architectures for RTL implementations
- Implement designs targeting both FPGA and ASIC using industry standard techniques, including the creation of appropriate testbenches
- Deploy your designs onto the latest FPGA development platforms for validation and system integration
- Actively engage with and adhere to AccelerComm engineering methodology, processes and design techniques, being able to offer improvements to efficiency and quality for both the design flow and the final product
- Collaborate with colleagues across the whole design flow: micro-architecture, design, verification, physical implementation and optimisation for ASIC and FPGA
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
