OIP in Oudenaarde, Belgium, develops opto-electronic solutions for Space and Defence. For our space projects, we are currently looking for a FPGA Firmware Engineer.
You will join the firmware design team and will be involved in the full firmware development cycle of our products. You’ll have the chance to work with challenging products designed for extreme environments. Our designs are related to image processing, sensor readout, system integration, digital and analog electronics in combination with FPGA’s.
You will be involved in jobs ranging from realizing IP cores in CPLD to SOC designs to interfacing with software, electronics and image sensors. We rely on Xilinx FPGA’s for defense project and Microsemi FPGA’s for space projects. You will have the opportunity to learn and design these products in assistance with an experienced project team. You will work with FPGA and SDK tools to realize a fully working system, where you’re in charge for the design, debugging and releasing the firmware.
