FPGA DSP Engineer x 3

Rate: £60 - £80 / hr

Location: Cambridge, Hybrid 2 / 3 days a week

Duration: Initially 6 months

A global technology consulting company are seeking a number of FPGA engineers to support the development and implementation of RF physical layer functionality - specifically for narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) systems - as part of a high-priority digital signal processing programme. The role will involve contributing to the design and integration of baseband signal processing logic for satellite communications systems.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, implement, and test RF physical layer components for NB-IoT or similar communication systems using FPGA platforms
Develop digital baseband processing blocks (e.g., modulation, filtering, synchronization, coding/decoding)
Collaborate with internal and client-side teams to support integration and system-level debugging
Work part-time in a hybrid model, with some on-site presence at the client location in Cambridge

Essential Skills & Experience:

Hands-on experience implementing RF PHY layers for NB-IoT, LTE, or other 3GPP standards using FPGAs
Strong understanding of digital signal processing for RF systems, including time/frequency synchronization, modulation schemes, and forward error correction
Experience contributing to real-time communications systems in either terrestrial or space-based contexts
Ability to work part-time on-site in Cambridge as part of a hybrid delivery model

Desirable:

Familiarity with satellite communications or space system constraints
Exposure to hardware validation techniques (e.g., lab testing, test vectors, simulation environments)
Experience working in cross-functional engineering teams, ideally in regulated or mission-critical environments

Where to Advertise Edge Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising edge computing jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. Edge computing sits at the intersection of embedded systems, networking, cloud infrastructure and real-time data processing — and the professionals who specialise in it are a small, highly technical community not well served by general job boards. Candidates with genuine edge and IoT expertise are rarely browsing general platforms, and roles in this space are frequently misunderstood or miscategorised by non-specialist recruiters. This guide, published by EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise edge computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Edge Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Shaping Edge Innovation

Edge computing is transforming how data is processed by bringing compute power closer to the source of generation. With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), real‑time analytics, autonomous systems, and latency‑sensitive applications, edge computing has moved from a niche discipline to a core component of digital infrastructure. In 2026, organisations that specialise in or heavily invest in edge computing are expanding their teams to build distributed systems, real‑time analytics platforms, and edge‑optimised AI. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are growing, winning contracts, or securing investment is essential. This article highlights the new and high‑growth edge computing employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, international innovators with a UK presence, and established companies shifting strategy toward edge.

How Many Edge Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an Edge Computing Job?

If you’re trying to start or grow a career in edge computing, it can feel like you’re navigating a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms — Kubernetes, Docker, IoT frameworks, AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT Edge, OpenShift, TinyML toolkits, networking orchestration, real-time streaming frameworks, and on it goes. Scroll job boards and community forums and it’s easy to conclude that unless you master every buzzword imaginable, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most edge computing hiring managers won’t necessarily say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every edge computing tool — they hire you because you can solve real system problems using the tools you know. Tools matter, yes — but only when they support clear outcomes: reliable systems, performance at scale, secure edge deployments and real business value. So how many edge computing tools do you actually need to know to secure a job? For most edge computing roles, the answer is fewer than you think — and a lot clearer when sorted by fundamentals and roles. This guide shows you what matters, what doesn’t, and how to focus your time wisely so you come across as capable, confident and employable.
