Fpga Design Engineer

Copello are seeking an experienced FPGA Design Engineer to join a high-technology engineering team on a 6-month contract based in North London. This role will play a key part in the design, debugging, and implementation of VHDL-based FPGA solutions for complex electronic systems, with a strong focus on RADAR and DSP applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, debug, and implement VHDL for FPGA-based systems
• Develop and maintain VHDL test benches and test vectors to verify FPGA functionality
• Define and analyse requirements from component level through to full system level
• Decompose high-level system requirements into implementable FPGA designs
• Work on systems containing multiple FPGAs and ensure correct system integration
• Use laboratory test equipment such as spectrum analysers, signal processors, and related tools to validate designs
• Conduct formal design reviews and contribute to technical decision-making
• Produce clear, concise technical documentation throughout the development lifecycle
• Ensure designs are delivered on time and within budget constraints

Required Experience & Skills

• Proven experience in FPGA design using VHDL
• Strong background working on multi-FPGA systems
• Experience analysing high-level system requirements and translating them into detailed designs
• Hands-on experience with lab test equipment (e.g. spectrum analysers, signal processors)
• Experience in RADAR and/or DSP applications
• Ability to produce robust, well-documented designs under time and budget pressures
• Experience conducting and participating in design reviews

Desirable

• Experience working in safety-critical or high-reliability environments
• Familiarity with full product development lifecycles

This role will require candidates to have active SC or eligibility for SC. Role is 4 days a week onsite in North London.

Position is paying 70 -80 per hour.
