We are seeking a Senior IP Design Engineer to support advanced development work on high-performance FPGA and Adaptive SoC platforms. This is a 6-month contract working with cutting-edge technology across high-speed networking, RTL design, and complex SoC architectures.

The role involves designing and delivering SystemVerilog RTL IP, integrating high-speed interfaces, and driving improvements across synthesis, place & route, timing closure, and automation flows. You will work closely with architecture, RTL, verification and integration teams to deliver optimised IP targeting modern Adaptive SoC devices.

Key Responsibilities

* Develop and implement SystemVerilog RTL for FPGA / Adaptive SoC designs

* Design and optimise high-speed connectivity IP (PCIe Gen5, 100Gb Ethernet, AXI/AMBA)

* Support synthesis, P&R, timing analysis and timing closure

* Collaborate with cross-functional teams on integration and validation

* Contribute to CI/CD workflows, scripting, and automation (Python, Tcl)

* Provide documentation, status updates and technical input

Required Skills

* Strong SystemVerilog RTL design background for FPGA / SoC

* Hands-on experience with AMD/Xilinx toolchain – Vivado, Vitis

* Expertise in PCIe, 100GbE, AXI/AMBA, and high-speed interface design

* Experience in synthesis, place & route, timing closure

* Scripting in Python and Tcl; experience with Git and CI pipelines

Ideal Background

* FPGA / SoC development (Versal, UltraScale, Zynq)

* High-speed networking, telecommunications or semiconductor engineering

* Strong RTL ownership from concept through timing-closed delivery

Contract Details

* 6-month contract

* Remote across UK, Ireland, Eastern Europe

* Competitive daily rate
