Our R&D teams develop advanced video projection systems based on Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology and solid-state illumination sources, including lasers, LEDs, and phosphor-based systems. As part of our international engineering organization, you will collaborate with colleagues across Belgium and China to shape the next generation of professional projection solutions.

The function

We are looking for an experienced Senior Engineer Electronics to join our engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for the design, development, validation, and maintenance of high-speed digital electronic systems for advanced DLP-based video projection systems.

You will work throughout the complete product lifecycle, from concept and architecture definition to product validation, manufacturing support, and maintenance of existing hardware platforms. The ideal candidate combines strong expertise in high-speed digital design with practical experience in FPGA-based systems, microcontrollers, component selection, and hardware lifecycle management.

Key responsibilities

The role focuses on high-speed video control electronics and control boards for fans, motor drivers, and solid-state illumination systems based on lasers, LEDs, and phosphor light sources. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will develop reliable, efficient, and high-performance electronic solutions that help deliver innovative video projection systems.

In this role, you will:

• Design high-speed digital electronic circuits and multilayer PCBs for DLP-based projection systems.
• Create schematics and support PCB development using Siemens Xpedition.
• Develop robust hardware architectures for complex electronic subsystems involving FPGA and microcontroller-based designs.
• Design and integrate high-speed interfaces such as DDR memory, Ethernet, USB, and other serial communication interfaces.
• Perform schematic capture, PCB design reviews, and signal integrity assessments.
• Collaborate closely with FPGA engineers and support FPGA-based hardware implementations.
• Contribute to microcontroller-based system design, debugging, and validation activities.
• Select electronic components based on technical performance, availability, cost, and product lifecycle considerations.
• Monitor component longevity, availability, and obsolescence risks using Silicon Expert and other lifecycle management tools.
• Participate in hardware bring-up, debugging, verification, and system-level validation during development.
• Work closely with software, FPGA, optical, mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing teams to deliver high-quality products.
• Ensure designs meet EMC, EMI, reliability, safety, and quality requirements.
• Support transition from development to manufacturing and production.
• Maintain, improve, and support legacy hardware platforms used in existing projector product lines.

Profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
