FPGA DSP Engineer x 3

Cloud Consulting are looking for 3 x FPGA DSP Engineer to join a high-profile project in Cambridge.

A global technology consulting company are seeking a number of FPGA engineers to support the development and implementation of RF physical layer functionality - specifically for narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) systems - as part of a high-priority Digital Signal Processing programme. The role will involve contributing to the design and integration of baseband signal processing logic for satellite communications systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and test RF physical layer components for NB-IoT or similar communication systems using FPGA platforms
• Develop digital baseband processing blocks (eg, modulation, filtering, synchronization, coding/decoding)
• Collaborate with internal and client-side teams to support integration and system-level debugging
• Work part time in a hybrid model, with some on-site presence at the client location in Cambridge

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Hands-on experience implementing RF PHY layers for NB-IoT, LTE, or other 3GPP standards using FPGAs
• Strong understanding of Digital Signal Processing for RF systems, including time/frequency synchronization, modulation schemes, and forward error correction
• Experience contributing to Real Time communications systems in either terrestrial or space-based contexts
• Ability to work part time on-site in Cambridge as part of a hybrid delivery model

Desirable:

• Familiarity with satellite communications or space system constraints
• Exposure to hardware validation techniques (eg, lab testing, test vectors, simulation environments)
• Experience working in cross-functional engineering teams, ideally in regulated or mission-critical environments
