FPGA Engineer

Aerospacelab

Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium

Role Overview

As we continue to expand our team, we are seeking a talented and motivated FPGA Engineer to contribute to the design and validation of RTL code for FPGA-based units.

As a FPGA Engineer, you will join an agile development team that works around a specific unit. Possible units are on-board computers, software defined radios, image sensors, optical transceivers and network switches.

These topics will get you through challenging signal or image processing algorithms, innovative optical solutions and high-throughput routing procedures.

In these development teams, communication and cooperation among diverse team members are key, often blurring the lines between competences.

You will work closely with PCB designers (EE engineers) and embedded software engineers and depending on the project, also with the RF, optical or network engineers.

Key Activities

Analyze and define the FPGA design architecture based on system requirements
Design, simulate, integrate and test RTL-code
Write and test software driver code
Write technical documentation, testbenches and on-target test procedures
Interacting with other engineering teams (EE, RF, Operations teams, Embedded Software, etc.)

Nice to have

Experience with C or Python
Experience of continuous integration
Experience with digital signal or image processing
Experience with Embedded-Linux (CLI usage & kernel customization)
Experience with High-speed transceivers, PCIe or network interfaces (1G to 100G)
Experience with memory interfaces (DDR3, DDR4, DDR5)
Experience with PCB and hardware design
Strong understanding of the FPGA design flow (synthesis, place & route, etc)
Strong understanding of software and hardware interactions
Sense of humor and passion for fun

Must have

Master, PhD in Computer, Electronics or Mecatronics Engineering or equivalent through experience
Knowledge of RTL programming languages (in order of preference: VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog)
Knowledge of C and Python
Experience with version control
Understanding of the FPGA design flow (synthesis, place & route, etc)
Understanding of software and hardware interactions
Excellent verbal and written skills to interact across teams
Comfortable in a lab environment: ability to use power supplies, oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzer
Fluent in English
Eagerness to learn & passion for digital design
