FPGA / VHDL Engineer

An established, technology-driven engineering organisation operating in the advanced imaging and detection sector is seeking a highly capable FPGA Engineer with strong VHDL development experience to join their growing engineering team.

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

Required Skills & Experience for the FPGA Engineer role in Egham

• Degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering or related field


• Minimum 2+ years of FPGA/VHDL development experience


• Strong knowledge of FPGA design (Xilinx, Lattice or similar toolchains)


• Experience with serial communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, RS232/485, CAN)


• Knowledge of high-speed interfaces (Ethernet, USB, TCP/IP, UDP, Aurora, etc.)


• Experience with hardware debugging and lab instrumentation


• Understanding of embedded systems and digital design principles


• Familiarity with schematic capture and simulation tools (e.G., Altium, pSPICE)


• Basic programming skills (e.G., Python)

The position can be a mid or senior level FPGA Engineer to work on innovative, high-speed FPGA projects
