Senior Hardware Engineer (Bristol + hybrid)
Website Codasip
About our UK Design Centres
Our UK design centres in Cambridge in Bristol were set up in early 2022 to develop high performance, low power embedded and application CPU cores from scratch. We are embarking on clean-sheet designs, and need people who can establish high quality working practices as they explore new ground under the guidance of Kalvin Williams, the Senior CPU Design Manager. These projects are highly complex, with usually one person being responsible for owning a portion of the design.
