FPGA Engineer - Video Processing

Socode are seeking a hands-on RTL FPGA engineer who will be building a real-time 12G-SDI video pipeline on Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ for a 9-month contract in Cambridge, UK.

You will:

• Implement uncompressed UHD 12G-SDI capture and transmit (SMPTE standards)
• Design full-frame alpha-blended compositing in programmable logic
• Build AXI4-Stream video pipelines with VDMA/DDR buffering
• Configure and tune GTY/GTX transceivers for 12G data rates
• Close timing in Vivado at UHD bandwidths
• Develop simulation testbenches and perform hardware validation
• Measure and optimise deterministic, sub-frame latency

Required experience:

• Xilinx Vivado and Zynq PS/PL architecture
• 3G/6G/12G-SDI implementation in FPGA
• Frame/line buffer design and high-bandwidth DDR interfaces
• Real-time, low-latency video systems
