FPGA DSP Engineer

FPGA DSP Engineer - 6 months - Inside IR35 - Cambridge (Hybrid)

Position Description

Job Title : FPGA Engineer – RF PHY (NB-IoT / Cellular / Space Systems)

Location : Hybrid (client site in Cambridge with flexible remote working)

Duration : 6 month contract, full time

Clearance : this role only requires BS clearance

We are seeking FPGA engineers to support the development and implementation of RF physical layer functionality — specifically for narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) systems — as part of a high-priority digital signal processing programme. The role will involve contributing to the design and integration of baseband signal processing logic for satellite communications systems. We require people with current and practical experience in this, not candidates who have just listed stuff they have done in the past for a month or two.

Key Responsibilities :

• Design, implement, and test RF physical layer components for NB-IoT or similar communication systems using FPGA platforms
• Develop digital baseband processing blocks (e.g., modulation, filtering, synchronization, coding / decoding)
• Collaborate with internal and client-side teams to support integration and system-level debugging
• Work in a hybrid model, with some on-site presence at the client location in Cambridge
