Director and Founder

Role Overview:

Hardware Design Engineer to play a central role in the implementation, verification, and bring-up of advanced electronic and semiconductor-focused systems.

This role is highly hands-on and cross-disciplinary, spanning analogue hardware, FPGA/ASIC platforms, embedded software, and system-level test environments.

Key Responsibilities:

Digital ASIC Front-End Design

• Design, develop, and implement digital IP blocks ranging from simple peripheral functions through to complex subsystem-level architectures.
• Create high-quality RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog, ensuring performance, power, and area requirements are met.
• Own IP development from specification through architecture, RTL implementation, integration, and silicon delivery.
• Collaborate with verification engineers to develop comprehensive verification strategies and support debug activities.
• Participate in micro-architecture definition, design reviews, and technical discussions across the development cycle.
• Support synthesis, timing closure, and front-end design sign-off activities in collaboration with backend teams.
• Debug and resolve RTL, integration, and system-level issues throughout the ASIC development flow.
• Contribute to IP reuse methodologies and design best practices across multiple projects.

IP Development & Ownership

• Take responsibility for the delivery of individual IP blocks and subsystem components.
• Work on both basic and complex digital IP, including control logic, data processing blocks, interfaces, and system infrastructure components.
• Develop documentation including functional specifications, design descriptions, and integration guides.
• Support IP integration into larger SoC environments and collaborate with system architects and verification teams.
• Engineers with previous IP ownership experience will be highly regarded.

Experience Required:

• Minimum BSc and 4+ years of experience
• Strong hands-on experience with electronic hardware bring-up, testing, and debugging.
• Solid understanding of analogue and digital hardware principles.
• Experience working with FPGA and/or ASIC-based systems in a test, validation, or integration context.
• Practical experience developing embedded software for hardware control and testing.
• Understanding of hardware/software co-design principles.
• Ability to work across system boundaries and troubleshoot complex, multi-domain issues.
• Good technical communication and documentation skills.

What’s Offered:

• Fully remote from anywhere in the UK
• High degree of technical ownership and responsibility, with direct impact on real hardware and delivered systems
• A technically challenging, hands-on role with exposure to the full system lifecycle, from early bring-up to validated hardware.
• Opportunity to work on advanced electronic and semiconductor-focused systems, spanning analogue, digital, FPGA/ASIC, and embedded software domains.
