FPGA RTL design, PCB design and embedded software

This is a role for a senior engineer working at the intersection of hardware and software. This company's control algorithms and unique hardware are key to systems deployed in specialist industry. Variety is on offer given the small company environment, and the chance to collaborate with senior colleagues on a range of tasks. Development work, architectural design, verification and maintenance will all form part of the role.

You will be based in the Cambridge area (or can easily relocate) and happy to primarily work in the office; the company is happy to be flexible around family commitments.

Most importantly, you'll have the desire to turn your hand to a range of tasks which may include FPGA development, electronics design and embedded software development.

In addition you will have:

* Strong communication skills, able to easily hold technical conversations with people for whom English is not their first language.

* A good electronics, physics or comparable degree from a good university.

* Significant and current FPGA RTL experience - VHDL, Verilog, etc. - in commercial-grade products.

* Moderate to extensive experience with schematics capture and PCB layout with tools such as Altium Designer. Computer scientists would need to demonstrate e.g. significant personal-interest electronics projects.

* Moderate to extensive embedded software skills in C / C++ / Rust or similar.

Any additional experience with high-speed digital design, power electronics, or knowledge of analogue/digital control theory is welcome.
