Lead FPGA Engineer - Edinburgh (Hybrid) - Circa 70K plus 15% Bonus

Lorien’s client, a Scottish success story and leader in their sector who already have a lot to be proud of, are continuing to grow!

On this occasion they are looking for a couple of FPGA Engineers (a Lead in this instance, and a Senior FPGA Engineer too if you know anyone!) to join their team, contribute to the ongoing improvements to the development of FPGA solutions at the heart of their product line, and drive designs from initial concept stages all the way through to production.

• Around 70K as a starting salary, a great bonus scheme of up to 15%, annual salary reviews plus a comprehensive benefits package
• Hybrid working model (2/3 days in the office, very commutable from Edinburgh / West Lothian / Fife / etc.), and the rest working from home
• Flexible working hours to suit your personal daily routines
• Being part of an organisation who has not only helped millions of people across the globe but takes very good care of their staff
• Rewarding work in an exciting and evolving sector, ongoing career progression, technical upskilling opportunities and even more

Some of what you’ll be doing:

• Leading the team as you contribute to FPGA solutions, designs and specifications from concept generation to production
• Analysing existing designs and identifying areas for improvement
• HDL development; Pin Out generation, behavioural verification, hardware troubleshooting, and other relevant activities
• Developing design verification test methods for FPGA modules/systems
• Liaising with other teams regarding solution design intent, operation workflow, etc.
• Mentoring and knowledge sharing with other less senior team members
• Researching new technologies for feature additions / ongoing improvements to the product portfolio

Some of the things you’ll bring to the table:

• Strong background in the FPGA domain and strong skills across VHDL development, Xilinx / Altera / Intel offerings
• Exposure to Hardware troubleshooting as well as logic analysers / oscilloscopes
• Ideally some scripting skills with the likes of TCL / Python
• Ability to work as a commercially aware technical specialist within a highly collaborative, Agile and cross-functional R&D function
• Broad knowledge of relevant trends within the market, and ability to research and adapt to new technologies

In return, our client offers their employees ample opportunities to flourish both technically and professionally, give back to the world in a very rewarding way, and enjoy a range of different benefits with people at the centre, such as flexible and hybrid working arrangements, bonuses, regular salary reviews, and much more.
