My client are a Global IT consultancy who are seeking 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. 3 months contract 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 andamp; 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,
