Profile
Our client delivers high performance appliances for the Defensive Cyber market, they develop from a blank sheet with security as a primary consideration, designing the whole appliance from high performance C++, Embedded software, FPGA firmware (VHDL), custom PCBs, power distribution, and thermal management.
Job Role
A Senior Firmware Engineer required, the successful candidate will be involved in the full life cycle of product development, from concept, design, through delivery, and into support. We predominately use Intel (previously Altera) FPGAs, with code developed using VHDL.
As this is predominately an active hands-on role, solid experience with VHDL is a must, as is a familiarity with at least 1 modern FPGA tool chain (ideally Intel but could be Xilinx, Achronix, or similar). As with most current FPGA designs, we make significant use of the provided Embedded blocks within those FPGAs, so any experience in integrating with these would be highly valuable.
*Please Note* - Due to the timescales, the client can only consider applicants with an active SC Security Clearance.
