Senior IC Designer, R&D

Ambitious R&D for low-latency digital ICs in Cambridge. This specialist technology firm develops high performance, low-latency hardware and solutions for targeted markets. This ambitious role would look towards future IC development, designing or tailoring bespoke ICs / FPGA cores for development and ultimately production use. This is an R&D area for the company, with a view towards near- and mid-term results.

You will have a good electronics or similar degree from a top university, or equivalent experience, and be able to demonstrate:

• Creation of IP cores for IC, SoC and/or high-performance FPGA systems, whether based on existing FPGA IP or new designs
• Knowledge of FPGA hardware architecture design
• Specific knowledge of multi clock, cross clock domain and/or asynchronous execution
• Communications hardware knowledge, networking, PHY
• Architecture and microarchitecture definition and design
• RTL design (Verilog / SystemVerilog preferred)
• Synthesis
• RTL and gate level simulation and debug
• A focus on performance and reliability

This is a Cambridge, UK-based position offering hybrid working options and requiring full existing work permission without sponsorship. You’d work alongside fellow senior hardware and software engineers in a professional, relaxed and collaborative environment.
