Contract Electronics Design Engineer – digital / FPGA

Paignton, Devon

6 months initially

Rate – open (typically £65-75ph ltd) Outside of IR35

An experienced contract digital electronics design engineer is needed to support a start-up involved with the research, development and design of optics / photonic technologies. Their technologies radically improve network speed and energy efficiency.

This contract electronics design engineer project involves:

Designing and developing highspeed digital boards and FPGA devices. Delivering robust, high-performance hardware designs that meet stringent signal integrity and power efficiency requirements.

Requires the following experience:

  • Experience with the design of high-speed digital and mixed-signal systems, including interfaces (e.g. 56GBd PAM4 transceivers)

  • Design of memory interfaces and clocking architectures.

  • Experience of developing DAC/ADC peripherals utilising QSPI, DSPI, and SPI interfaces would be great.

  • Experience with the design of FPGA hardware (using VHDL / RTL) – preference for experience with Intel (Altera) Cyclone V, Agilex 7 platforms or comparable Xilinx devices.

  • Experience of using tools such as Quartus and QuestaSim for FPGA design

  • The ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving, start-up organisation

  • Knowledge of highspeed network interface and optical transceiver systems would be preferable

    Other interesting and preferable experience for this contract electronics design engineer project:

  • Signal integrity management, and power supply integration

  • high-speed electronics design (>60Ghz) would be excellent

    Overall the contract electronics design engineer will need a strong electronics product development background (high speed digital board and FPGA design). Experience with highspeed network interface or optical transceiver product design would be very useful.

    The contract electronics design engineer role is based on site in Paignton, Devon 5 days per week
