About thisjob

We are currently looking for an FPGA Engineerto join the team in Delft.

As an FPGA Engineer your work will have a meaningful impact developing next-generation defence technology within an R&D fast-paced environment. Closely with the team and other partners you will bring solutions from the lab to the field deployment.

You will develop mission-critical low-latency hardware solutions for machine vision applications in defence systems including systems for missile platforms UAVs drones and distributed sensing networks.

Main responsibilities

• You will develop integrate and verifyIP blocks on FPGAs (NanoXplore and/or Cologne Chip GateMate).
• Configure and deploy MIPI CSI-2 receiver interfaces tasked with capturing data streams from diverse sensor types including low-light and thermal cameras.
• Ensure seamless video delivery to display units by managing the corresponding output routing (such as MIPI DSI).
• Take ownership of the FPGA subsystems integration into hardware environments characterized by low power consumption and tight space constraints.
• Execute the complete verification pipeline covering everything from initial simulation and timing closure to final on-hardware validation.
• Work closely with multi-disciplinary teamsspanning embedded software hardware optics and sensorsto refine overall system requirements.
  

Requirements

• You have 3-6 years of proven experience in FPGA development.
• You hold a degree in Computer Engineering or another relevant domain.
• You are proficient in VHDL and/or SystemVerilog.
• You have hands-on experience implementing MIPICSI-2 I2C and/or SPI interfaces.
• You have a solid understanding of timingconstraints and clock domain crossing.
• You have experience taking a design from RTLthrough validated hardware. You feel comfortable with vendor-specific and EUsovereign toolchains including less mature open-source ecosystems such asYOSYS or NEXTPNR.
• Low-power and resource-constrained design mindsetsuited to wearables.
• Ability to debug complex system-level issuesindependently.
• Good communication skills in English (Dutch isa plus).
• You have the possibility to obtain NATO and EUsecurity clearances.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with Cologne Chip GateMate.
• Knowledge of camera sensors.
• Knowledge of hardware design and hardware-softwareintegration.
• Experience or interest in defence roboticsand AI.
• You have experience or affinity for start-upand R&D environments.
