  • 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.
