Skills
Must have
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering (or equivalent).
- Hard Skills: Strong experience in PCB design/bring-up, FPGA development (Verilog/VHDL), and embedded C systems. Deep understanding of the full electronics lifecycle.
- Plusses: Experience with space standards (ECSS), radiation mitigation, high-speed interfaces, CocoTB/SystemVerilog, and Python scripting.
Full description
This role blends digital hardware development with traditional PCB engineering for the space industry. You will own the complete design and verification flow of high-reliability systems, collaborating closely with semiconductor, software, and system architects.
Key Responsibilities
- Digital Architecture & PCB Design: Design multi-layer PCBs, architect digital/mixed-signal subsystems, select components, and perform schema/layout reviews.
- FPGA Development: Implement and verify FPGA logic (Verilog), handle timing closure, synthesis, simulations (e.g., CocoTB), and support HIL verification.
- Embedded Integration: Develop low-level firmware (C/Rust) for microcontrollers and implement communication protocols (SPI, I²C, CAN, SpaceWire, etc.).
- Testing & Qualification: Lead board bring-up, debugging, and create test plans for demanding space-grade environmental and radiation conditions.
- Leadership: Guide and mentor junior engineers while driving high-quality design standards and hardware reuse.
What We Are Looking For
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering (or equivalent).
- Hard Skills: Strong experience in PCB design/bring-up, FPGA development (Verilog/VHDL), and embedded C systems. Deep understanding of the full electronics lifecycle.
- Plusses: Experience with space standards (ECSS), radiation mitigation, high-speed interfaces, CocoTB/SystemVerilog, and Python scripting.
What We Offer
- A unique chance to transform satellite electronics in a fast-scaling startup backed by ESA and the European Innovation Council.
- An ambitious, highly skilled team with an Apple-style, system-driven IC design philosophy.
- Significant ownership, impact, and personal growth.
