Developing cutting edge RTL for high-performance low latency applications

This is a senior engineering role based in Cambridge, UK, working as part of an international team of software and hardware design engineers. The company’s focus is in high-performance, low latency technologies, with an interest in parallel processing, algorithmic efficiency, data throughput, and network performance.

You’d work alongside senior software engineers in Cambridge, and fellow hardware engineers in Europe. As the team grows, more peers in hardware would join you in the UK office.

Your CV will show your:

  • Good degree in electronics or another technical subject from a top university

  • Extensive experience developing complex and well-structured RTL in SystemVerilog, Verilog or VHDL, with particular attention to design approach and performance constraints

    And as a skilled FPGA Design Engineer you will also have, as your CV demonstrates:

  • A strong understanding of digital logic, synchronous design, and hardware architecture

  • Good experience with Xilinx and/or Intel (Altera) FPGAs and relevant tools

  • Digital design and verification flow experience, from micro-architectures’ definition through to RTL development, creation of test benches, simulation, synthesis, place and route, timing analysis and emulation.

  • Excellent analytical thinking, problem-solving and troubleshooting skills with an aptitude to resolve complex issues.

    Additional experience with Python scripting, multi clock, cross clock domain and/or asynchronous execution and/or PHY networking is beneficial. This is a Cambridge, UK-based position offering hybrid working options, and requiring full existing work permission without sponsorship.

    Another top job from ECM, the high-tech recruitment experts.

    Even if this job's not quite right, do contact us now - we may well have the ideal job for you. To discuss your requirements call ecm or email your CV. We will always ask before forwarding your CV.

    Please apply (quoting ref: CV27407) only if you are eligible to live and work in the UK. By submitting your details you certify that the information you provide is accurate

How to Find Hidden Edge Computing Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & More

Edge computing is reshaping the way data is processed and delivered across industries—from real-time IoT in manufacturing to low-latency systems in healthcare, defence, and smart cities. With its growing influence, demand for UK-based edge computing professionals is rising rapidly. But here’s what most job seekers don’t realise: many edge computing jobs aren’t listed on public job boards. Instead, they’re shared through private networks, CPD events, special interest groups, and technical communities. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access these hidden job opportunities by engaging with professional bodies like the BCS, IET, TechUK, and niche edge computing communities. We’ll explore how to use directories, events, and collaborative ecosystems to position yourself at the front of the queue—before roles even go live.

How to Get a Better Edge Computing Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from an edge computing role can feel like a serious setback—especially in a field as specialised and rapidly evolving as distributed computing. But edge computing remains a key growth area in the UK tech economy, with applications in autonomous vehicles, manufacturing, smart cities, telecoms, and defence. Whether you’re a cloud-edge integration engineer, embedded systems developer, IoT specialist, or network architect, there are real opportunities to reposition your career after redundancy. This guide offers a practical UK-focused plan to help you relaunch your career with confidence.

Edge Computing Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey misleads edge‑computing professionals today Ask an Edge Software Engineer debugging container images on a factory floor, an IoT Solutions Architect jostling latency and security, or a DevOps Lead deploying micro‑VMs on 5G towers: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The answer changes faster than the firmware you flashed last sprint. Retail chains move inferencing to store servers, autonomous vehicle start‑ups hoard FPGA talent, telcos monetise network slices, & every new use‑case nudges salary bands. A PDF survey printed in 2024 is already fossilised—missing the GPU shortages, fresh EU edge‑security directives, and the UK government’s Zero‑Carbon Edge computing grants that landed this spring. To give professionals an up‑to‑date benchmark, EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority, and you’ll get a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, spotlights six forces driving pay higher, and lays out five practical moves to boost your market value within ninety days.
