Description
We are seeking a Technical Owner of FPGA and Programmable Logic Design to join our team. As a technical owner, you will be responsible for owning FPGA and system-on-chip design for payload video and control. This includes RTL design, simulation, synthesis, timing closure, and hardware bring-up.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own FPGA and system-on-chip design for payload video and control
- Develop the video pipeline, from sensor capture and correction through stabilisation and overlay to video and metadata output
- Implement real-time interfaces for pointing and stabilisation, working with control, mechanical, and software engineers
- Take in-house image processing and position control boards through to qualified production, reducing reliance on bought-in units
- Define verification and chase the results: testbenches, coverage, hardware-in-the-loop rigs, and investigation of test findings that trace back to logic or interfaces
- Review schematics in Altium for pin assignment, clocking, and constraints, set the standards for coding, review and configuration control, and mentor other engineers
Qualifications, Experience & Commitments:
- Degree in electronic engineering or a related discipline, with around 10 years or more of FPGA development
- Strong VHDL or SystemVerilog, with fluency in the main FPGA vendor toolchains
- Delivered video or imaging pipelines in hardware, including common camera and serial sensor interfaces
- Experience of designs where programmable logic and an embedded processor share the work, including register maps, drivers, and boot
- Practical on real hardware: debug with scopes, logic analysers, and protocol tools, and able to read and mark up schematics in Altium alongside hardware designers
- Airborne or defence hardware experience is an advantage
- Security Vetting: Due to the nature of our Defence contracts, all applicants must be eligible to hold and willing to undergo the vetting process for UK SC level Security Clearance
- Travel: Willingness to undertake occasional national and international travel to TEKEVER sites (UK, Portugal, US, Europe) and potentially to deployed operations globally
What we have to offer you: At TEKEVER, we offer a comprehensive package designed to reward, support, and develop our people. This includes a highly competitive salary with a discretionary annual bonus and a company pension contribution match of up to 10%. To support your wellbeing, we provide 25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays, Private Medical Insurance (with optional family cover), Private Dental care, and an Employee Assistance Programme. We are deeply committed to investing in future talent; our scale allows us to provide clear career development opportunities and dedicated initiatives to boost your skill sets, ensuring you remain future-ready for the evolving workplace. Furthermore, our team enjoys a flexible hybrid working model, typically three days a week at our core UK sites like Bristol, and access to a bespoke rewards platform featuring a variety of high street discounts and salary sacrifice schemes, including Electric Car, Cycle to Work, and Technology options.
