Field-Programmable Gate Arrays Engineer

Senior FPGA Engineer

Location: UAE (Onsite)

Type: Full-time

We are partnering with a technology organisation in the UAE seeking a Senior FPGA Engineer to help develop advanced digital solutions for next-generation communication systems. This role suits someone who enjoys solving complex hardware problems, working with high-speed interfaces, and building FPGA designs that operate reliably in challenging environments.

What You'll Work On

• Designing FPGA architectures for high-performance digital communication and embedded platforms.
• Implementing RTL for complex systems involving memory controllers, high-speed data paths, and processor-based SoC devices.
• Integrating FPGA designs with custom hardware, supporting board bring-up, testing, and optimisation in the lab.
• Developing verification environments, simulations, and test scenarios to ensure functionality and timing accuracy.
• Troubleshooting system-level issues using FPGA toolchains, on-chip debugging utilities, and hardware test equipment.
• Collaborating with software, hardware, and systems teams to deliver robust, production-ready designs.

What You'll Bring

• 10+ years of hands-on FPGA development experience in communications, wireless systems, or similar domains.
• Strong proficiency with VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog and solid understanding of digital logic design.
• Experience working with SoC-based FPGA platforms (e.g., devices combining programmable logic with embedded ARM cores).
• Knowledge of high-speed interfaces, memory integration, clocking strategies, and performance optimisation.
• Familiarity with simulation, verification, testbench development, and regression testing.
• Experience scripting with Python or MATLAB for automation and analysis.
• Strong debugging skills across FPGA tools, development boards, and lab equipment.

Soft Skills

• Ability to work across disciplines and manage complex technical tasks.
• Strong problem-solving mindset and willingness to tackle unfamiliar challenges.
• Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with evolving priorities.
