FPGA DSP Engineer x 3
Rate : £60 - £80 / hr
Location : Cambridge, Hybrid 2 / 3 days a week
Duration : Initially 6 months
A global technology consulting company are seeking a number of 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.
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 (eg, modulation, filtering, synchronization, coding / decoding)
- Collaborate with internal and client-side teams to support integration and system-level debugging
- Work part time in a hybrid model, with some on-site presence at the client location in Cambridge
Essential Skills & Experience :
Hands-on experience implementing RF PHY layers for NB-IoT, LTE, or other 3GPP standards using FPGAsStrong understanding of Digital Signal Processing for RF systems, including time / frequency synchronization, modulation schemes, and forward error correctionExperience contributing to Real Time communications systems in either terrestrial or space-based contextsAbility to work part time on-site in Cambridge as part of a hybrid delivery modelDesirable :
Familiarity with satellite communications or space system constraintsExposure to hardware validation techniques (eg, lab testing, test vectors, simulation environments)Experience working in cross-functional engineering teams, ideally in regulated or mission-critical environments
