Job description

For a growing high-tech engineering company in the Netherlands, we are looking for an Electronics & FPGA Engineer who enjoys working close to hardware, measurement systems, and complex technical integration.

The organization develops advanced equipment for precision measurement and inspection environments. You will join a small, highly technical team where electronics, software, mechanics, and physics come together. Because the team is still compact, your work will have a direct impact on the performance, reliability, and scalability of the system.

This is a role for someone who likes ownership: not only designing a solution on paper, but also building, testing, debugging, and improving it until it works reliably in practice.

What you’ll be doing

As Electronics & FPGA Engineer, you will be responsible for the electronics and FPGA-related parts of a high-precision technical system. You will work on timing, triggering, signal handling, hardware integration, and the practical connection between different subsystems.

Your work will include:

• Developing and maintaining FPGA-based timing and trigger solutions
• Designing electronics for system integration, such as interface boards, signal conditioning, level shifting, cabling, and connectors
• Working on signal quality, grounding, shielding, routing, and noise reduction
• Bringing up and testing hardware in a lab environment
• Debugging electrical and timing-related issues using measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab tools
• Translating technical requirements into working electronics solutions
• Collaborating with engineers from different disciplines to integrate hardware into one reliable system
• Documenting designs, test results, and technical choices clearly

You will be involved from early requirements through to tested hardware, which means the role combines design, hands-on engineering, and system-level problem solving.

What you bring to the table

We are looking for someone with a strong electronics background who is comfortable working independently and taking ownership of technical challenges.

You bring:

• Experience with FPGA development
• Solid knowledge of digital and analog electronics
• Experience with schematic design, PCB or breakout-board design, and hands-on hardware bring-up
• Practical skills in soldering, cabling, probing, and debugging
• Experience with timing-critical or trigger-based systems
• Knowledge of signal integrity topics such as grounding, shielding, EMI, cable routing, and noise prevention
• Comfortable use of lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal or delay generators
• Basic Python skills for testing, automation, bring-up scripts, or data checks
• A structured and ownership-driven way of working
• Professional proficiency in English
• A BSc or MSc degree in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Electronics, Mechatronics, or a related field
• Around 3–5 years of relevant experience in electronics, embedded systems, or FPGA development
• Xilinx / AMD Zynq
• Motion control or encoder interfaces
• Low-jitter or sub-microsecond timing systems
• Trigger interfaces for cameras, sensors, lasers, or industrial equipment
• Development of scientific, industrial, or high-tech measurement equipment

What we offer you

• A technically challenging role in a high-tech engineering environment
• A lot of ownership and influence over the electronics domain
• The opportunity to work on advanced equipment where precision, timing, and reliability matter
• A small and knowledgeable team with short communication lines
• Room to grow into the internal specialist for electronics and FPGA-related topics
• Close collaboration with specialists in software, mechanics, physics, and system engineering
• A competitive employment package aligned with your experience
• A role where your work is visible in the final performance of the system

Are you ready to take ownership of a complex data-driven workflow and contribute to technology that is still being built from the ground up?
