We’re working with an established technology business operating at the forefront of professional audio and immersive sound systems. They’re looking for an FPGA Audio Engineer to help design ultra-low-latency audio platforms used in demanding live and performance environments.

What You’ll Be Working On

  • Building FPGA-based audio engines focused on low latency and high accuracy

  • Developing signal-processing features and audio routing solutions

  • Designing and implementing communication between audio systems and external devices

  • Writing clear, testable HDL and supporting software

  • Verifying designs using simulation and industry-standard verification approaches

  • Working closely with electronics and systems engineers to shape overall architectures

  • Reviewing schematics, selecting components and supporting hardware bring-up

  • Producing clear documentation to support long-term maintainability

What We’re Looking For

  • Commercial experience in FPGA or low-level firmware development

  • Strong VHDL skills

  • Solid grounding in digital signal processing

  • Understanding of high-speed digital design, memory, clocking and data movement

  • Experience interfacing with audio and serial protocols (e.g. I2C, SPI, UART, I2S)

  • Comfortable collaborating with cross-disciplinary and geographically distributed teams

  • A genuine interest in audio technology and real-time systems

Useful (But Not Essential) Experience

  • Xilinx FPGA platforms and toolchains

  • Audio-over-IP technologies (e.g. Dante, AES67)

  • Ethernet and networking concepts

  • DSP programming (including SHARC)

  • C/C++ alongside HDL

  • Embedded Linux or bootloader experience

  • Exposure to digital audio products or mixing systems

Why This Role?

  • Work on technically challenging products where performance really matters

  • Play a hands-on role across architecture, development and verification

  • Join a collaborative, engineering-driven environment

  • Ongoing training and development to support long-term career growth

  • Competitive package and international collaboration opportunities

If you feel you have the skills and experience to be successful in this role and you are keen to work on systems that push the limits of real-time performance then please apply now.
