FPGA DSP Engineer

Job title: FPGA DSP Engineer

Location: Cambridge/Hybrid

Rate: £80-90 per hour


I am looking for FPGA engineers to support the development and implementation of RF physical layer functionality - specifically for narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) systems - as part of a high-priority digital signal processing programme. The role will involve contributing to the design and integration of baseband signal processing logic for satellite communications systems.

Key Responsibilities:
* Design, implement, and test RF physical layer components for NB-IoT or similar communication systems using FPGA platforms
* Develop digital baseband processing blocks (e.g., modulation, filtering, synchronization, coding/decoding)
* Collaborate with internal and client-side teams to support integration and system-level debugging
* Work part-time in a hybrid model, with some on-site presence at the client location in Cambridge

Essential Skills & Experience:
* Hands-on experience implementing RF PHY layers for NB-IoT, LTE, or other 3GPP standards using FPGAs
* Strong understanding of digital signal processing for RF systems, including time/frequency synchronization, modulation schemes, and forward error correction
* Experience contributing to real-time communications systems in either terrestrial or space-based contexts
* Ability to work part-time on-site in Cambridge as part of a hybrid delivery model

Desirable:
* Familiarity with satellite communications or space system constraints
* Exposure to hardware validation techniques (e.g., lab testing, test vectors, simulation environments)
* Experience working in cross-functional engineering teams, ideally in regulated or mission-critical environments
