We produce and maintain turbomachinery systems for aircraft. Our product development emphasizes lightweight and high-speed electric compressors, which consist of electric compressors, power electronics, and firmware. While specifically designed for aerospace, these compressors can also be utilized in industrial and domestic applications. When employed as refrigerant compressors, they serve as a foundation for the next generation of heat pumps, capable of instantaneously modulating output temperature, thus addressing the European goal of achieving CO2 neutrality by 2050.

The Role

To enhance our innovative product development team at the Technology Base in Enschede, we are looking for a skilled FPGA Design Engineer. You will be an integral part of the development team, engaging in the following activities:

• Design, develop, implement, and test firmware.
• Create supporting software tools for testing activities.
• Conduct research projects to broaden our understanding of new technologies.
• Write documentation necessary for product certification and knowledge capture.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects that contribute to CO2 emission reduction by electrifying aerospace and industry.
• An innovative environment within a collaborative team of highly skilled professionals.
• A very competitive compensation package, including salary, multiple yearly bonuses, a generous pension plan, 40 vacation days, and health insurance contributions.

Requirements

• An appropriate university degree (BSc, MSc) in electrical engineering or equivalent.
• Practical experience in FPGA firmware design, debugging, and verification, including the use of various VHDL simulation tools and scripting.
• A working knowledge of and experience with multiple FPGA-based designs, preferably with Xilinx architecture.

Nice to Have

• Experience in software development for supporting activities such as embedded programming, user interfaces, and testing scripts in MATLAB, Python, or TCL.
• Familiarity with model-based design, such as Simulink HDL coder, is a plus.
• Knowledge of the design life-cycle and related documentation.

You are the type of person who is passionate about this field and eager to develop your expertise. You are creative, enjoy tackling challenges, and are motivated to develop firmware and associated electronic hardware. Strong communication skills in English, both written and oral, are essential.
