• Knowledge of radiation effects and mitigation techniques.
• Fluency in English with ideally Dutch and/or French knowledge
• Expertise in FPGA design, verification, validation and prototyping (VHDL, Verilog, Vivado / Libero SoC), including timing closure and ADC/DAC interfacing for real-time control.
• Understanding of systems engineering lifecycles and space system qualification, from requirement definition all the way to testing.

You will thrive here if you are

• Analytical, with strong problem-solving skills.
• Someone who takes ownership and drives work to completion.
• Curious and collaborative, willing to learn across disciplines.
• A natural leader, comfortable in a fast-paced, dynamic engineering environment.
