Senior Digital Systems Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Join a stimulating and innovative R&D environment where your contributions directly influence the next generation of satellite communication test & measurement systems. Collaborate internationally with teams across the USA and Europe, and grow your expertise in advanced digital system design and high-performance FPGA development.

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Digital Systems Engineer with deep expertise in FPGA design, digital signal processing (DSP), and embedded systems. In this senior technical role, you will contribute to the architecture, design, and implementation of digital subsystems integral to our industry-leading satcom channel emulation products. You will collaborate closely with system architects, RF/microwave engineers, and software engineers as part of a multidisciplinary team working on cutting-edge solutions. This role requires strong hands-on design capabilities, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple development tasks in a fast-paced engineering environment.

• Design, develop, and test FPGA-based digital systems for satellite communication and test & measurement applications.
• Implement parallelized DSP algorithms in Verilog/VHDL and optimize for performance and resource utilization.
• Develop C/C++ hardware drivers enabling real-time FPGA control and system-level integration.
• Architect and implement microprocessor/microcomputer -based embedded systems, including software integration.
• Utilize Intel (Altera) FPGA design tools (Quartus Prime) to perform synthesis, debugging, and partitioning; familiarity with Xilinx tools is a plus.
• Integrate and validate JESD204B/C links and EMIF interfaces with DDR3/4/5 memory subsystems.
• Perform FPGA floor-planning, timing closure, simulation, and clock-domain-crossing analysis.
• Use version control and structured workflows to manage system-level development activities.
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to develop high-performance channel emulation solutions.
• Generate technical documentation and support reporting for internal projects and external proposals.
• Troubleshoot, evaluate, and resolve design challenges, ensuring solutions align with overall system requirements.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field; Master’s degree preferred.
• 10+ years of hands-on experience with digital system and FPGA design, including synthesis, debugging, and simulation.
• Strong proficiency in Intel (Altera) FPGA design tools; experience with Xilinx FPGA design flows is desirable.
• Proven expertise implementing DSP algorithms in Verilog/VHDL.
• Experience with JESD204B/C and DDR3/4/5 memory interfaces.
• Strong understanding of digital communication protocols and standard interfaces (PCI/PCIe, DDR, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet); VITA49 experience is a plus.
• Knowledge of low-power design principles and verification methodologies.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and Python.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with excellent attention to detail.
• Effective communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across teams.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver high-quality results under deadlines.

• An inspiring, dynamic, and challenging high-tech engineering environment
• Full-time position (40 hours per week)
• Competitive salary commensurate with experience
• Annual performance bonus and long-term retention incentive plan

This role is based either in our Eindhoven, Netherlands or in our Parsippany, NJ engineering office.
