• Support system‑level integration and debugging.
• Take ownership of technical components, develop leadership skills and act as a technical lead when required.
• Share, discuss and expand technical knowledge with colleagues while maintaining expertise in modern design flows, simulation and development tools.

What we expect from you

• Background in electronics at a bachelor’s (HBO) or master’s (WO) level with at least five years of relevant experience.
• Solid experience with FPGA/VHDL/Verilog design.
• Experience with (high‑speed) board design is a plus.
• Experience developing high‑speed signal‑processing pipelines for RF, image and radar applications, including data streams in the gigasamples‑per‑second range.
• Experience implementing advanced signal‑processing algorithms on FPGAs or GPUs, optimised for high‑throughput and high‑clock‑rate architectures.
• Hands‑on experience with FPGA design flows, simulation and design tools.
• Familiar with various development methods and techniques, and actively maintains technical knowledge.
• Excellent communication skills and fluency in Dutch and English, spoken and written.

What you can expect in return

• Flexible 32‑40 hour working week with room to work from home.
• 28 holidays with an option to acquire an additional 12 holidays.
