The Role

As an FPGA / Digital Systems Engineer, you own real-time digital control and signal processing that directly interfaces with MEMS and photonic hardware.

Your work directly determines lock stability, noise floors, measurement fidelity, and whether demos succeed or fail.

This is a hands-on role. Verification quality, timing discipline, and physical intuition matter more than clever architectures. If you write the code, you own proving that it is correct.

The role sits close to R&D: the FPGA is part of discovering system truth, not just implementing a frozen design.

What You’ll Do

Digital control & signal processing

• Design, implement, and verify FPGA systems interfacing with photonic sensors, MEMS devices, and high-speed ADCs/DACs
• Implement and stabilise real-time systems such as:
• PLLs
• AGC
• force-to-rebalance control
• Reason explicitly about timing, latency, jitter, phase ...
