## Description

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.

Our missions
Answer the challenging requirements with innovative solutions
Cope with the challenging space environment
Create critical, high quality gateware

Our work environment
RTL: VHDL
Simulation: Questasim, Makefile, Python, TCL
Tests on target: Makefile, Embedded-C, Embedded-Linux, FreeRTOS, Python
CI/CD: Gitlab, Docker

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.)
