Fpga Engineer @ Employer

FPGA Engineer Sassenheim, The Netherlands Full-time Fixed-term Apply for this job Your (space) mission As an FPGA Engineer at cosine, you design and implement high-performance FPGA image processing solutions that enable next-generation Earth observation missions. You work at the intersection of electronics and software, turning raw sensor data into usable insights directly on hardware. Working within the Electronics team, you will play a key bridging role between electronics and embedded software development. You will collaborate closely with software engineers to ensure efficient hardware-software integration, making a solid understanding of software development practices highly valuable. Your work interfaces to new and high-bandwidth detectors, increases processing speed, and enables smart instruments that operate autonomously in space. Within cosine Remote Sensing, you contribute to compact, high-precision optical payloads used in real space missions, from concept to on-orbit operations. Tasks & responsibilities In this role you will: - Design, implement, and optimise FPGA architectures for real-time image processing pipelines at challenging data rates - Translate image processing algorithms into efficient hardware implementations, including filtering, compression, and feature extraction - Perform general FPGA design tasks such as pipeline and architecture definition, building test benches, design verification and validation, and device configuration - Create and maintain board definition files, define I/O architecture, and manage boot configuration, in-flight reprogramming, memory management, and sensor readout - Collaborate closely with optical, electronics, embedded software and systems engineers to integrate FPGA solutions into space-borne instruments - Act as a technical link between hardware and software disciplines, helping to define interfaces, workflows and development practices for FPGA-based products - V...
