Position Overview Provides technical leadership in the design and delivery of FPGA‑based solutions within complex, security‑focused systems. Owns FPGA architecture, implementation, and integration, and contributes to system‑level design and planning. Drives technical direction, delivery planning, and execution across FPGA workstreams, while remaining a hands‑on contributor. Responsibilities Leads the design, implementation, verification, and debug of VHDL‑based FPGA solutions for new and existing products. Owns FPGA architectural design, including partitioning, interfaces, and performance trade‑offs within system constraints. Drives integration of FPGA components with embedded and host software systems, ensuring robust and scalable solutions. Defines and structures FPGA development work, translating requirements into deliverable tasks and clear technical plans. Provides estimates for FPGA activities, ensuring plans are realistic, risks are understood, and dependencies are identified. Coordinates and balances FPGA work across engineers, aligning tasks to skill levels and supporting effective team delivery. Guides day‑to‑day execution , providing technical direction and unblocking engineers during implementation. Identifies and mitigates technical risks and delivery bottlenecks. Defines and evolves FPGA development processes, including configuration management, CI/CD, and verification practices. Contributes to system architecture , working with hardware, software, and product teams to define platform capabilities. Leads resolution of complex technical challenges (e.g. timing closure, resource optimisation, system integration). Mentors and develops engineers through technical guidance, design reviews, and knowledge sharing. Collaborates across teams to ensure alignment of FPGA deliverables with system and product objectives. Required Experience Degree (or equivalent experience) in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related discipline. Demonstrated experience designing and delivering complex FPGA‑based systems , including: VHDL RTL design Synthesis, place
