Copello are seeking an experienced FPGA Design Engineer to join a high‑technology engineering team on a 6‑month contract based in North London. This role will play a key part in the design, debugging, and implementation of VHDL‑based FPGA solutions for complex electronic systems, with a strong focus on RADAR and DSP applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, debug, and implement VHDL for FPGA‑based systems
• Develop and maintain VHDL test benches and test vectors to verify FPGA functionality
• Define and analyse requirements from component level through to full system level
• Decompose high‑level system requirements into implementable FPGA designs
• Work on systems containing multiple FPGAs and ensure correct system integration
• Use laboratory test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, signal processors, and related tools to validate designs
• Conduct formal design reviews and contribute to technical decision‑making
• Produce clear, concise technical documentation throughout the development lifecycle
• Ensure designs are delivered on time and within budget constraints

Required Experience & Skills

• Proven experience in FPGA design using VHDL
• Strong background working on multi‑FPGA systems
• Experience analysing high‑level system requirements and translating them into detailed designs
• Hands‑on experience with lab test equipment (e.g., spectrum analyzers, signal processors)
• Experience in RADAR and/or DSP applications
• Ability to produce robust, well‑documented designs under time and budget pressures
• Experience conducting and participating in design reviews

Desirable

• Experience working in safety‑critical or high‑reliability environments
• Familiarity with full product development lifecycles
