Vivid Resourcing

We are supporting an advanced aerospace technology company based in Ghent that is developing next-generation Embedded systems for high-performance, mission-critical applications.The team is looking to strengthen its Embedded software capability with an engineer experienced in C/C++, Embedded Linux, and Hardware acceleration to offload computationally intensive workloads from general-purpose Cpus.This role sits at the intersection of software, Hardware, and real-time systems, contributing to platforms where performance, reliability, and determinism are critical. Key responsibilitiesDesign, develop, and optimize Embedded software in C/C++ for aerospace systemsWork on Embedded Linux-based platforms (kernel, drivers, BSP, system integration)Interface with and program specialized processing units such as GPUs, Tpus, Npus, and/or FPGAsOffload compute-heavy tasks from cpus, including:AI / ML inferenceImage, video, and signal processingGraphics pipelinesCryptographic or security-related workloads Collaborate closely with Hardware, electronics, and systems engineers to co-design efficient software-Hardware solutionsOptimize for performance, latency, power consumption, and reliabilitySupport system bring-up, debugging, and validation on real HardwareContribute to documentation and engineering best practices in a safety-critical environment Required experience & skillsStrong experience in Embedded software development using C and C++Solid background with Embedded Linux (Yocto/Buildroot, drivers, kernel-space vs user-space concepts)Hands-on experience working with Hardware accelerators:GPUs, Tpus, Npus, FPGAs, or custom AsicsExperience offloading compute-intensive workloads from CpusStrong understanding of:Low-level systems programmingMemory management, concurrency, and performance optimizationComfortable working close to Hardware (registers, interfaces, bring-up, debugging)Familiarity with real-time constraints and deterministic systemsExposure to AI acceleration frameworks, video pipelines, or crypto/security stacksKnowledge of Hardware description languages (VHDL/Verilog) or FPGA toolchains What's on offerWork on cutting-edge aerospace platforms with real-world impactHigh-complexity technical challenges across software and HardwareCollaborative engineering environment with strong technical ownershipCompetitive salary and benefits packageLong-term, stable projects in a highly regulated, advanced technology domain
