Are you looking for an innovative and consolidated place for your professional development? GMV is an experiencedtechnology group - delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you’ll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space and aerospace engineering.

We are searching for an experienced FPGA Engineer to support our team within the Timing and Frequency Division (Navigation), based within our Harwell Office within the UK.

The FPGA Engineer will lead thedesign, implementation, and validation of gateware (HDL) systems, as well asthe development and testing of associated firmware and hardware.

As part of our team, you will workwith a broad range of technologies, including atomic clocks, GNSS, and timetransfer protocols over Ethernet, wireless, optical, and satellite links. Theteam also explores innovative solutions such as quantum technologies and machine learning applications.

In this role, you will contributedirectly to the White Rabbit project, a technology that has become an industry standard, providing sub-nanosecond synchronisation and deterministic data transfer to distributed devices interconnected within a WR network. You willplay a key role in advancing this technology and ensuring its integration intocutting-edge applications.

The ideal candidate will have proven experience in the design, development, simulation and testing of gateware(HDL), firmware, and hardware systems, combined with a passion for tacklingcomplex, multidisciplinary engineering challenges. We are looking for someoneeager to innovate, collaborate across diverse technical domains, and contribute to advanced solutions in timing and synchronisation technologies.

Key Responsibilities within this role include:

• Develop and maintain HDL modules (mostly VHDL).
• Develop simulation test benches (mostly
  
  System
  
  Verilog).
• Assist in the development of production tests to be conducted post-hardware manufacturing.
• Assist in hardware design, reviews and production.
• Develop automated tests, to be run on hardware in Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines.
• Collaborate with your colleagues in the hardware/software co-design process, where hardware, HDL, firmware, Linuxdevice drivers and host applications are developed and reviewed together.
• Produce detailed technical documentation, includingrequirement specifications, design justifications, test reports.

Essential experience and qualifications:

-

• 4+ years of professional experience as an Electronic/FPGA Engineer or in a related field
• Proven experience in FPGA design and simulationusing VHDL, Verilog, or System Verilog for Ultra Scale+ FPGAs.
• Experience in the design of electronic circuits(schematics and PCB) based on FPGA or System-on-Chip.
• Experience in the development of firmware and devicedrivers.
• Proficiency with Git-based development workflows,including code reviews, merge requests, and CI pipelines.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently as well ascollaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.
• Experience with White Rabbit, PTP, or NTP-based systems
• Strong knowledge of Ethernet architectures (e.g.,1G, 10G) used in network switches and/or routers.
• Solid understanding of embedded Linux systems,network architectures, Python, PyTest, and Git Lab.
• Knowledge of signal processing and software-definedradio (SDR).
