Senior FPGA Design Engineer – Build Tech That Will Orbit the Earth
📍 Southampton (Hybrid – 2 days onsite)
💰 Circa £70k + Bonus + Equity + Private Medical + Pension
Satellites are getting smarter. This company is building the signal processing hardware that’s making it happen.
They’re tackling one of the toughest problems in mobile communications: putting full 5G base stations in orbit. That means power-efficient, high-throughput digital signal processing running on space-qualified devices—and they’re looking for another FPGA expert to help make it real.
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
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a hands-on role focused on RTL development and integration of complex IP blocks targeting both FPGA and ASIC. You’ll work across the full development flow: writing Verilog/SystemVerilog, working on timing closure and synthesis, and helping with system integration and lab validation. You’ll also be collaborating closely with other engineers—from algorithms to verification.
The ideal background? Real-time, high-speed FPGA design. Signal processing knowledge is a bonus. UVM, Python scripting, or experience with AMBA protocols? Even better.

Why this role?
- Because it’s not every day you get to work on tech that literally leaves the planet.
- The team is smart, the mission is bold, and the culture is engineer-led.
- You’ll have space to contribute, solve hard problems, and see your work make it to orbit.
If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d love to speak.
