Job Description Summary

Become part of a winning team and help to deliver the Green Energy transition.

You will be Responsible for architecting designing developing testing FPGA solutions and their integration into platforms systems that control to run on devices with customised hardware.

Typically requires a deep understanding of the characteristics of the physical device being controlled the realtime functions it is expected to perform and the ability to design develop implement and test the logic required to realise the realtime functionality.

Executes standard operational / technical tasks subject to instructions and work routines.

As part of a multideveloper firmware team the major responsibilities will include analysis design implementation and testing of FPGA solutions for Protection Control and Communication equipment.

This is a hybrid role and requires onsite presence throughout the week.

Job Description

Essential Responsibilities

• Analyse complex challenging requirements to architect effective design solutions making up the overall FPGA architecture and aligns with product requirements and architecture.

• Facilitate drive discussions and steer crossfunctional councils to solve issues drive decisions gain consensus and align on technical risk mitigation strategies.
• Communicate complex messages and negotiate with others to adopt a different point of view. Influence peers to take action and negotiate with external partners and vendors.
• Utilise indepth understanding of key technology challenges to accomplish own work and provide direction to crossfunctional teams.
• Application of technical skills and analytic thinking required to solve problems using multiple internal sources and some external sources to arrive at decisions.
• Define FPGA architecture enablers and collaborate with ART Product Owners and Product Managers on backlog definition and prioritisation.
• Provide timely communications on significant issues risks and/or developments. Maintaining a focus on safety reliability performance and security for embedded systems.
• Capture and elicit detailed requirements from stakeholders to ensure comprehensive understanding and documentation.
• Handle change management and impact analysis. Assessing the effects of modifications on FPGA architecture with respect to entire system.
• Act as a resource for colleagues with less experience.
• Explain difficult information and work to build consensus.
• Use persuasion skills to influence others on topics within field.
