Job Description

Location: London

Company: Timebeat.app

Reports to: Head of Engineering / CTO

About Timebeat

Timebeat is building next- infrastructure for precise, verifiable time and frequency synchronization across distributed systems. Our technology sits at the intersection of hardware, FPGA design, and large-scale systems , enabling customers to measure, guarantee, and reason about time in ways that were not previously possible.

As we scale, we are looking for an FPGA engineer who wants to own major technical initiatives , help shape architecture decisions, and grow into a people- and project-leadership role .

The Role

This role is ideal for a strong FPGA engineer who is ready to take the next step in their career —moving beyond individual contribution into technical leadership, mentoring, and project ownership .

You will remain hands-on with FPGA design while also:

Leading FPGA-centric projects end-to-end

Acting as a technical point of contact across hardware, firmware, and software teams

Supporting and mentoring other engineers

Helping define best practices, processes, and technical direction for FPGA development at Timebeat

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Delivery

Own the architecture, design, and delivery of FPGA solutions used in production systems

Translate system-level requirements into FPGA designs and implementation plans

Drive design reviews, technical decision-making, and trade-off discussions

Ensure designs meet performance, reliability, and maintainability requirements

Hands-On FPGA Engineering

Design, implement, and verify FPGA logic using VHDL and/or Verilog/SystemVerilog

Work with high-speed interfaces, clocks, timing closure, and synchronization logic

Integrate FPGA designs with embedded software, drivers, and system-level components

Support bring-up, debugging, and validation on real hardware

Team Growth & Mentorship

Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews and technical guidance

Contribute to hiring and onboarding as the FPGA team grows

Help define engineering standards, documentation, and development workflows

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with software, systems, and product teams to deliver customer-facing features

Communicate complex technical topics clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Support customer or partner engagements where deep FPGA expertise is required

Required Skills & Experience

Strong experience in FPGA design and development in a production environment

Proficiency in VHDL and/or Verilog/SystemVerilog

Experience with FPGA toolchains (e.g. Xilinx / AMD, Intel / Altera)

Solid understanding of:

Clocking and timing constraints

CDC, synchronization, and deterministic timing

Debugging FPGA designs on hardware

Experience owning significant technical components or projects

Comfortable reviewing others’ work and providing constructive feedback

Nice to Have

Prior experience leading small teams or acting as a technical lead

Experience with time-sensitive systems, networking, or high-precision timing

Exposure to embedded Linux, drivers, or low-level software interfaces

Familiarity with formal verification, simulation frameworks, or CI for FPGA

Interest in growing into an engineering management or hybrid lead role

What We're Looking For

An engineer who enjoys both building and leading

Someone excited by ownership, responsibility, and seeing projects through to production

A collaborative communicator who raises the bar for those around them

A pragmatic problem-solver who balances technical excellence with delivery

Why Join Timebeat

Work on deep technical problems with real-world impact

Influence the technical direction of FPGA development from an early stage

Grow into a leadership role at a fast-moving, highly technical company

Competitive compensation, flexible working, and strong engineering culture
