Jobs in Pilley

Senior FPGA / RTL Design Engineer

Build Tech That Will Orbit the Earth

📍 Southampton (Hybrid – 2 days onsite)

💰 Up to £70,000 + Bonus + Equity + Private Medical

Satellites are getting smarter. This team is building the signal processing hardware that's making it happen.

They're tackling one of the toughest challenges in wireless communications: putting full 5G base stations into orbit. That means designing high-performance FPGA and ASIC hardware capable of delivering real-time, high-throughput digital signal processing on space-qualified devices.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on RTL design and implementation of complex IP for FPGA and ASIC. You'll work across the full development lifecycle—from translating algorithms into efficient hardware architectures through to RTL implementation, timing closure, FPGA validation and system integration—working alongside Algorithm, Systems and Verification Engineers.

What we're looking for

You'll likely have experience with:

* FPGA / RTL development using Verilog or SystemVerilog

* High-speed, high-throughput digital hardware or DSP implementations

* Timing closure, synthesis and hardware optimisation

* Complex FPGA or ASIC development projects

Experience with wireless communications, UVM, Python or AMBA would be advantageous, but isn't essential.

Yoh Solutions Ltd, a Day & Zimmermann Company, are specialist recruiters supporting advanced engineering teams across embedded software, wireless communications and electronics.

Why join?

Because opportunities like this don't come along very often.

You'll be solving genuinely difficult engineering problems, working with some of the UK's leading communications engineers, and developing technology that will become part of the next generation of global 5G satellite infrastructure.

If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we'd love to hear from you
