You will work across the full product lifecycle — design, prototyping, integration, and verification — helping turn research into real-world solutions.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Designing and developing firmware, embedded systems and FPGA code for innovative products.
* Integrating hardware, firmware, and software systems, including defence and satellite payload applications.
* Implementing digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms and real-time embedded control systems.
* Developing and maintaining communication protocols and embedded Linux systems.
* Supporting the design and verification of high-speed data acquisition and frequency systems.
* Contributing to project planning, documentation, and peer review processes.
* Collaborating with a diverse team of engineers, physicists, and researchers.
