Field-Programmable Gate Arrays Engineer

FPGA Design Engineer (VHDL) – Aviation Systems

Location: Antwerp

Employment: Full time (Permanent)

We’re partnering with an innovative engineering organisation operating within the aviation sector, supporting the development of advanced communication and data systems used across next-generation aircraft platforms.

If you’re motivated by cutting-edge technology and enjoy working in highly technical, multidisciplinary environments, this could be a strong fit.

The Role:

As an FPGA Design Engineer, you’ll contribute to the development of high-performance communication and signal processing systems used in aviation applications. This includes working on complex data acquisition, transmission, and processing solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement FPGA subsystems using VHDL
• Carry out simulation and verification activities (e.g. Questa, ModelSim)
• Integrate FPGA modules into larger system architectures
• Collaborate closely with hardware, software, and systems engineering teams
• Support debugging and troubleshooting of FPGA designs
• Document designs, processes, and test results
• Contribute to technical discussions and industry knowledge sharing

What We’re Looking For:

• Master’s degree in Engineering (or equivalent experience)
• Strong experience with VHDL and FPGA development
• Solid understanding of digital logic, timing constraints & clock domains
• Experience with Intel / Quartus toolchain
• Exposure to digital communication systems or DSP is a plus
• Knowledge of high-speed xbpgvfh interfaces (Ethernet, SERDES) is beneficial
• Familiarity with embedded processors (e.g. ARM) is advantageous
• Strong documentation skills and attention to detail
• Team-oriented mindset with a proactive approach

Why Consider It?

• Work on advanced aviation technologies with real-world impact
• Join a highly skilled, collaborative engineering environment
• Be part of complex, cutting-edge system development projects
