Description du poste

Are you one of those people who look up to the sky every time a plane passes by?

Space holds no more secrets for you than it does for science?

Environmental and technological challenges are among those you wish to tackle?

Come join Sabca and play your own role in the fast-moving world of aerospace inside a company with more than 100 years of existence.

We are experts in designing, manufacturing, maintaining, and upgrading large and complex elements for aircraft and space launchers.

In Brussels, we have our Structural and Mechatronics Engineering offices, where all our new programs begin and our workshops are equipped with modern

machines that produce complex metallic assemblies for aircraft and space launchers as well as advanced Thrust Vectoring Systems for space launchers.

SABCA Brussels is also the home to our "Unmanned Autonomous Systems" aka: the drones solutions unit!

Mission:

Your main mission as a Design Engineer Embedded System is to participate in various mechatronic systems development activities within the Engineering Department of the Actuation Systems division. You will be responsible for the development, maintenance and/or validation of VHDL designs implemented on FPGA and/or ASIC for aeronautical or aerospace applications.

Responsabilities:

• Specify a design to be implemented on FPGA/ASIC, based on higher-level requirements specifications;
• Describe the architecture;
• Implement the solution in VHDL;
• Perform engineering tests of the implementation;
• Perform formal (“top-level”) tests by simulation or on-board testing of components developed by other team members;
• Participate in milestones/audits conducted by authorities (EASA, ESA) or by our customers;
