This is an unique chance to contribute to the future of secure global navigation systems, working in a dynamic, international and innovative environment.

Key Responsibilities:

The VHDL Designer Engineer will:

• Design, develop, and optimize digital architecture using VHDL for FPGA platforms (e.g., Xilinx, Intel, Microchip);

• Perform simulation, debugging, and verification of digital designs using industry-standard tools;

• Collaborate with system, hardware, and software engineering teams to define requirements and ensure seamless integration;

• Prepare technical documentation , including design specifications, test procedures, and

reports;

• Support reviews, audits, and qualification activities according to ECSS, DO-254, or equivalent standards;

• Contribute to continuous improvement of design processes, methodologies, and best practices.

What do you need:

• Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering ;

• At least 2 years (out of 4) of professional experience gained in the design, simulation,

implementation, verification and validation of FPGA devices ;

• Proven experience in programming in VHDL language and in the use of Xilinx Vivado tools, scripting in TCL language;

• Good knowledge of theory and design of digital electronic circuits and Digital Signal

Processing;

• Good knowledge of Matlab and/or Octave for co-simulation of algorithms implemented in FPGA knowledge;

• Eligibility for National Security Clearance;

• Advanced knowledge of written and spoken English .

Desired knowledge and skills:

• Experience in Cores development for Software Defined Radio applications;

• Memory-mapped / DMA core development experience for Xilinx Zynq;

• Experience in developing and debugging high-speed interfaces, for example JESD204,

PCIe, LVDS;

• Experience in developing low-level optimized cores, based on specific components of Xilinx FPGAs (DSP48E, I / O SerDes, Transceivers);

• Experience in in C ++ low-level programming of drivers and test applications of FPGA cores on Linux and bare-metal;

• Experience in defining pinout and PCB layout requirements of FPGA and SoC based circuits;

• Competence (even minimal) in the use of laboratory equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer) in troubleshooting activities;

• Desired knowledge of C and/or Python.
