Curo are Partnering with a Global Company who deliver their B2B Customers cutting-edge technology. Their automated test and assurance solutions accelerate technology development in the lab, and ensure new products and services perform in the real world. Their innovative portfolio of products and services address the test, assurance, and automation challenges of a new generation of technologies: 5G, SD-WAN, Cloud, Autonomous Vehicles and beyond.

The Candidate:
This role would suit a candidate with demonstrable industry experience of VHDL Product Specification & Development, test bench development and scripting experience, working within a structured engineering environment that includes Requirements Analysis/Definition, Design/Implementation, Defect Tracking, and Testing. We are looking for a candidate with Xilinx FPGAs as opposed to Altera FPGAs or ASICs. The successful candidate would will have relevant industrial experience and strong FPGA firmware programming skills using VHDL in a high-speed logic (>100MHz) environment, as well as strong experience in digital electronics.

The Role:
The key focus of this role is FPGA implementation from either internally generated design specifications or externally published Interface Control Documentation. This will include providing support, and the future development of existing embedded firmware applications.

Key Duties:

• FPGA implementation from either internally generated design specifications or externally published Interface Control Documentation.
• Design test/verification and qualification.
• Support and future development of existing Spirent embedded firmware applications.
• Provide engineering support to internal Supply Chain and Client Services departments.
• Participate in the maintenance and enhancement of FPGA design processes and practices.
• Contribute to the on-going development and maintenance of existing products and features.
• Produce clear documentation to support the integration, system verification, configuration and use of the FPGA features.

Requirements:

• Honours degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a similar discipline
• Demonstrable post-graduate related experience of VHDL project specification and development, test bench development and scripting experience, working within a structured engineering environment that includes Requirements Analysis/Definition, Design/Implementation, Defect Tracking, and Testing.
• Relevant industrial experience and strong FPGA firmware programming skills using VHDL in a high-speed logic (>100MHz) environment.
• Experience with Xilinx FPGAs as opposed to Altera FPGAs or ASICs is preferable.
• Strong experience in digital electronics.
• HDL designer.
• Modelsim verification.
• Precision synthesis tool.
• Vivado place and route.
• Embedded firmware soft/hard platforms: Motorola Coldfire, Xilinx Microblaze or similar
• S/W languages C, C++, Visual basic, TCL, Perl.
• Compilers: EDK hardware platform, Greenhills.
• Operating systems: Real time applications running under Linux or Windows.
• Experience in Digital Modulation techniques, GNSS, Communications theory, Signal Processing, Encryption processes and Matlab are all advantages.
• Initiative – step up and take action without being asked. Look for opportunities to make a difference.
