Your Crew

Join a fast-growing company undergoing an ambitious industrial transformation. You’ll be part of a close-knit team, united by a genuine passion for space and engineering. While everyone brings their own individual strengths and personality, the young and dynamic team shares a collegial mindset, strong connections at work and occasional optional gatherings outside the office. You'll thrive in a structured yet agile environment where precision, collaboration and continuous improvement are core values. Every contribution matters, and you'll play a key role in our collective performance.

Your Mission

The FPGA Engineer VIE provides FPGA engineering expertise and service for embedded processing and payload solutions to development projects and series production programs in the Business Unit Electronic Solutions domain. You will be responsible for the development and verification of FPGA solutions for satellite onboard embedded processing and payload products and ground electronics products.

The FPGA Engineer:

• Analyses and understands the internal and/or external customer requirements for FPGAs
• Understands and applies the FPGA requirements and FPGA design engineering processes and flows
• Manages tracing of FPGA requirements towards system requirements level
• Grasps and fosters the interdisciplinary and x-functional developments and pro-actively interfaces with adjacent system, software, hardware and technical lead engineering teams to drive technical concepts, modularity, synergies across products, projects and technology choices
• Develops and implements the architecture concept/design for the FPGA of satellite onboard and ground support systems, equipments and sub-systems
• Develops the verification approach for the FPGA
• Interfaces with adjacent system, software and hardware development teams to secure maximum synergies between system, software and hardware validation tests and FPGA validation test
• Strives for modular and customizable solutions, empowers product variants, fosters technology-USPs as well as product- USPs and pro-actively interfaces with adjacent innovation directorate to drive new product ideas
