Developing top-end RTL logic, with full FPGA utilisation and performant algorithms

This Cambridge technology company are growing their core engineering team; a half dozen senior engineers who collaborate closely on new projects. As a skilled Senior RTL Engineer with FPGA experience, you’d be working alongside peers with similar skills, as well as developers working in C++ and Rust. These technologies interface and form the backbone of a robust, high-speed and integrated solution, for deployment in high-connectivity locations worldwide.

Extensive, demanding algorithmic work is performed on top-end FPGAs from leading vendors, and these are heavily populated, utilising all available blocks. Transactions are event driven and require an extremely rapid turnaround. But, this leads to interesting and challenging work which the team very much enjoy – and hope you would too.

To be considered for this role, your CV will show:
• Extensive commercial-grade RTL experience, working on production FPGA projects where there is significant low-latency processing, and architectural considerations matter.
• Proficiency with Intel Quartus, AMD Vivado or comparable design tools.
• A collaborative approach, including experience working with firmware and/or software engineers, and ideally DevOps engineers.

You will also need to be in commute distance of Cambridge, UK (or able to relocate), and have full existing UK work permission without time limit, restriction or sponsorship.

With offices in the city of Cambridge, the company work in the office three days per week, with up to two days hybrid working. Parking is plentiful, they are in walking distance of the nearest railway station, and there are good facilities on site and more nearby. In addition to day-to-day perks, they offer a highly competitive salary and benefits.

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.
