Senior FPGA Engineer

Company: Anson McCade
Apply for the Senior FPGA Engineer
Location: Manchester
Job Description:

We’re supporting a highly advanced engineering organisation working at the cutting edge of cyber and national security technology, currently growing their hardware and embedded capability in Manchester.

This opportunity sits within a specialist team developing high-performance, security-focused systems from the ground up; combining FPGA, embedded software, and hardware design to deliver robust, real-world solutions.

The Role

You’ll play a hands-on role across the full product lifecycle, from early-stage concept through to deployment and ongoing support. Working as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team, you’ll contribute to the development of complex FPGA-based systems designed for high-throughput and reliability.

You can expect to:

  • Design and develop FPGA solutions using VHDL
  • Work on high-bandwidth data processing systems
  • Interface with high-speed components such as DRAM and networking hardware
  • Contribute to the design of secure, high-performance hardware platforms
  • Collaborate closely with software and hardware engineers on integrated systems

What They’re Looking For

  • Strong experience with FPGA development (VHDL essential)
  • Experience working with high-speed data processing and interfaces
  • Familiarity with FPGA toolchains (e.g. Intel/Altera, Xilinx or similar)
  • Understanding of hardware design principles and system-level thinking
  • Experience contributing across the full development lifecycle

Additional Info

  • Due to the nature of the work, candidates must be eligible for UK security clearance
  • Onsite role, with flexibility around working patterns where possible

Why Apply?

  • Be part of a team building complex systems from first principles
  • Strong technical environment with opportunities to deepen and broaden your expertise
  • Long-term career development within a highly specialised domain

If you’re an FPGA Engineer who enjoys working close to the hardware, solving complex challenges, and building high-performance systems, this is well worth exploring.
