High Speed Digital Design Engineer

MERITUS Talent are working with one of Europe's leading defence manufacturers for the recruitment of a High Speed Digital Design Engineer to join their Stevenage office on a 12 Month contract assignment. The incumbent of the role is expected to be onsite full time, and paid £58 per hour INSIDE IR35. SC Clearance needs to be in place prior to starting the role

We're looking for a High Speed Digital Design Engineer to join our growing electronics team in either Stevenage or Bristol. You'll be part of a large and highly skilled group working on advanced digital and analogue hardware, designing high-performance systems for software-defined radio (SDR), radar signal processing, and sensor fusion applications.

As a key member of the engineering team, you'll support the Technical Lead/Architect and work closely with systems, software, firmware, mechanical, and production engineers. Together, you'll define and develop efficient and reliable electronic solutions that meet customer needs.

Once the specification is agreed, you'll take the lead on the detailed design of the high-speed digital elements and coordinate other electronic design activities through the full development lifecycle - from concept to delivery.

We want someone with a solid background in high-speed digital design who enjoys solving complex problems and working collaboratively across disciplines.

You should have:

• Proven experience in complex, high-speed digital electronics design

• Knowledge of MPSoC FPGA technologies, DDR and Flash memory, and high-speed serial interfaces

• Experience with signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) analysis

• Proficiency in VHDL, plus experience with C, C++ or Python for board-level test and debug

• A good understanding of DSP concepts for SDR, radar and optical sensors

• A systems-level mindset and the ability to design elegant hardware architectures

• Strong academic grounding and the ability to pick up new ideas quickly

• A focus on documentation, collaboration and delivering high-quality solutions
  
  

You'll be working on cutting-edge technology in a supportive team that values deep technical understanding and real-world results. The work is varied and intellectually stimulating, and you'll have the chance to influence key designs used in critical applications.
