FPGA Design Engineer – FPGA / SystemVerilog / CDC / Synthesis / Timing Closure / Digital Design

We are currently partnered with a growing technology and engineering organisation developing advanced hardware and communications solutions. As part of their continued expansion, they are looking to hire an experienced FPGA Design Engineer to take ownership of FPGA designs from initial specification and micro-architecture through implementation, synthesis, timing closure, and production.

Key responsibilities

- Design and implement FPGA logic using SystemVerilog
- Translate specifications into robust FPGA micro-architectures and production-quality implementations
- Take ownership of FPGA designs through the complete development lifecycle
- Develop timing-clean FPGA implementations and drive designs through timing closure
- Analyse and manage Clock Domain Crossings (CDC)
- Develop appropriate synchronization strategies and ensure reliable clock-domain interfaces
- Perform CDC analysis and contribute to CDC verification activities
- Own and maintain the FPGA synthesis flow

Key requirements
- 10–15 years of hands-on FPGA design experience or equivalent depth of practical FPGA engineering experience
- Strong and current experience developing FPGA designs using SystemVerilog
- Proven ability to take ownership of complex FPGA designs and deliver them through implementation
- Robust practical knowledge of Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) analysis and implementation
- Experience developing and implementing FPGA synchronization strategies




- Hands-on experience configuring and managing FPGA synthesis tools
- Experience with UVM-based verification environments
- Experience developing automation and engineering scripts using Tcl, Python, or similar languages
- Familiarity with high-speed digital interfaces
