Senior Field Application Engineer - FPGA/Digital Design

Job description

Join a pioneering engineering team developing next-generation FPGA-based systems for advanced computing applications. This is an opportunity to apply your digital design expertise in a customer-facing role, helping to integrate and optimise cutting-edge technology across the UK and Europe.

You’ll be collaborating with world-class engineers to deliver high-performance, multi-FPGA systems. From design flow setup to system bring-up and debugging, you’ll play a key role in ensuring seamless deployment and performance for complex, real-world applications.

This role suits an engineer who enjoys variety and being challenged - combining hands-on technical work with customer engagement. You’ll have the autonomy to solve technical challenges, drive integration, and influence design direction on high-impact projects.

Requirements
  • Strong FPGA design experience (Verilog/VHDL, Vivado/Quartus).
  • Proven background in digital design, implementation, and system integration.
  • Experience with AMD/Xilinx or Intel/Altera FPGA platforms.
  • Skilled in debugging, testing, and optimising FPGA-based systems.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work directly with customers.
  • Willingness to travel within the UK and Europe (up to 20%).
  • High personal ambitions and drive, with an ethos centred around development and collaboration.
Desirable experience:
  • SoC architecture or multi-FPGA systems.
  • High-speed interfaces (e.g. transceiver-based).
  • Supporting customer installations or field applications.
  • Experience guiding or mentoring junior engineers.
This is a rare chance to join a forward-thinking engineering team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in high-performance digital systems.

Notable benefits include: 28 days holiday (+ bank holidays), enhanced pension and parental leave, healthcare plans, and bonus.
