FPGA Imaging Engineer – Characterization & Reliability

Odd Systems; Eindhoven; Hybrid; EUR 60,000 - 85,000; Full time

Job summary

Odd Systems in Eindhoven is seeking an Electronics Engineer focused on characterization, reliability, and FPGA-based data acquisition for microbolometer sensors. The role combines test infrastructure design, RF/optical interfacing, and development of NUC algorithms in a pre-production lab environment.

You will work closely with the CTO and R&D team, designing external test electronics and proxy boards to capture ROIC data, while implementing fast FPGA-based control and data streaming.

Qualifications

• Degree in electronics, electrical engineering, physics or related field.
• Hands-on FPGA design experience (VHDL/Verilog) is required.
• Experience designing test interface electronics for imaging sensors or high-speed data acquisition.

Responsibilities

• Design and build external test electronics and proxy boards to capture raw data from the ROIC.
• Develop FPGA-based interface logic to acquire, buffer and stream sensor data for characterization.
• Develop NUC algorithms and calibration routines for infrared sensors.
• Conduct electro-optical performance measurements (NETD, time constant, responsivity).
• Run long-term vacuum hermeticity tests and accelerated lifetime/reliability testing.
