For one of our client of the spatial sector, based in Antwerpen, we're looking for a FPGA Design Engineer who will be involved in the VHDL development within the framework of a satellite equipment, a scientific instrument or ground support equipment. You will start by designing the IP cores and the code according to the requirements and specifications of the project with attention for details. This should be done in close cooperation with Electronic Engineers, the FPGA Architect, and your fellow FPGA Design Engineers. Documentation of your code (in-line and in separate reports) is crucial for ensuring traceability and quality. You provide technical support in your field of expertise.
You will ensure that the flight FPGA code adheres to our coding rules and that the proper performance is met on all cases by means of core, module and board tests. You will be responsible for verifying your design in a simulation environment as well as on the actual hardware. You have hands on experience with standard lab tools for FPGA validation. You will be responsible for performing synthesis and ‘place&route' activities for various types of FPGA devices followed by post-layout verification.
Finally, you will participate in the equipment/instrument level functional and performance test campaigns before handing over the developed VHDL code to the client.
Profil :
