Responsibilities
* Design and implement FPGA logic in VHDL for Xilinx Artix-7 devices using Vivado
* Develop finite state machines to control and sequence hardware interfaces
* Create low-level driver logic for I²C, SPI, and other serial interfaces, including initialisation and error handling
* Write self-checking test benches and conduct functional and timing simulations
* Perform hardware bring-up, lab testing, measurements, and iterative debug
* Manage constraints, clocking, resets, and CDC analysis to achieve timing closure
* Contribute to requirements capture, architecture design, and module specifications
* Maintain configuration management, documentation, and traceability
Requirements
* Degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline
* Strong hands-on VHDL experience for FPGA design and verification
* Proven experience with Xilinx Artix-7 and Vivado (constraints, synthesis, place & route, timing closure, bitstream generation)
* Experience with I²C, SPI, and low-level embedded interfaces
* Understanding of timing constraints, CDC, metastability, and synchronous design
* 3+ years' FPGA development within a product or R&D environment
Advantageous
* PCB-level considerations and signal integrity knowledge
* Scripting with Tcl/Python for design flow automation
* Familiarity with version control (SVN)
