Microelectronics Engineer

About company :

We are a Belgian engineering consulting firm that assists SMEs and large industrial organizations in bringing their innovation and R&D initiatives to life.

Mission

The mission is to support the development of critical aerospace actuation systems (for space and aeronautical applications). The electronics are controlled by an in-house processor, which is defined, designed, and verified. The processor runs into a FPGA, allowing for variations depending on client needs. As this processor is designed at our client, the design and verification process must follow the norms of the application (DO254 in aeronautics and ECSS-Q-ST-60-02C for spatial). The processor design is done in close collaboration with the SW team.

As a microelectronics engineer, you will be in charge of:

1. Capturing the in-house processor requirements from client specifications, electronics constraints, or SW constraints.
2. Creating/Updating/Understanding the in-house processor requirements.
3. Creating/Updating/Understanding the in-house processor architecture.
4. Creating/Updating/Understanding the in-house processor FPGA Design (VHDL Code in Microsemi FPGA).
5. Supporting the verification team (error debug, testbench modifications, etc.).

• Capture and generation of requirements.
• Deep knowledge in VHDL.
• Data transmission protocols knowledge (SPI, I2C, UART, etc.).
• Microsemi FPGAs (IGLOO2, Proasic3, PolarFire, etc.).
• Perl and Python languages.
• Knowledge of electronic design (Schematic understanding).
• Basic knowledge of board verification tools (oscilloscope, power supply, waveform generator).

• Knowledge of DOORS.
• Knowledge of Linux system.
• Knowledge of RISC processors architecture.
• Knowledge of MIL-STD-1553B and Ethernet-IPv4-UDP communication protocols.
• Tcl scripting language.
• Single Events Effect calculation (Radiation Effect on FPGAs).

• English required.
• French or Dutch is a plus.

Required experience

• Electronics/Microelectronics engineering diploma.
• 2-3 years of experience in FPGA Design under Cycle V methodology (spatial or aeronautical sector is a plus).
