We are looking for a MicroElectronics Engineer E3 to join our Modis Aerospace team, working onsite at the European Space Agency in the Netherlands. Modis Aerospace is a specialized Engineering consultancy with more than 30 years experience providing aerospace Engineers to our key partners in The Netherlands. Modis is a longstanding business partner of the European Space Agency ESA, with more than 120 employees recruited from across Europe currently supporting ESAs activities. Specific tasks to be performed Providing technical support to ESA projects in the domain of Field Programmable Gate Array FPGA used in payloads and platforms of ESA missions of any ESA programme Navigation, Science, Earth Observation, Telecommunications, Human Space Exploration or Technology. This technical support will involve Supervision of the endtoend development of new FPGAs throughout all the development phases specification, architectural design, detailed design, place and route, programming and device tests. Critical review of the technical documentation, design files, hardware test platforms and software used during the different phases of the FPGA developments. Providing technical feedback and advice to ESA and industry mission teams to help achieve successful and ontimeonbudget new FPGA developments and to solve problems related to already developed FPGAs. Leading andor providing support to research internal in ESTEC Microelectronics Laboratory andor external with companies contracted by ESA activities in the domain of FPGAs devices and their tool ecosystems for use in space environment. General tasks to be performed Provision of VLSI ASIC FPGA technical expertise to Projects involving requirements analysis, performance and budgets analysis, writing and assessment of VLSI specifications review, evaluation and checking of industrial contractors VLSI designs. Identification of design deficiencies and problem areas and proposals for their solutions. Design, analysis, verification of VLSI systems for control and data processing applications, andor signal processing using industrial standard tools, hardware description and programming languages. To successfully perform the above mentioned tasks, the following background experience is required Applicants should have a university degree in Electronics Engineering or Physics, specialized in Microelectronics. Applicants should have four or more years of experience in Design and test of digital FPGAs specifications, block design, top level integration, design for test, pre and post layout simulation and timing analysis, gates synthesis, support during layout, prototype test and in system validation, with proficiency in HDL VHDL, Verilog and SystemC. VLSI IC Design CAD tools such as Synopsys, CADENCE, Mentor, Mathlab andor Simulink. FPGA HW and SW of several vendors such as Xilinx, Microchip former Microsemi, former ACTEL, NanoXplore, Altera andor Atmel. Preparation of FPGA testbenches, for functional validation and electrical characterization, using signal generators, oscilloscopes and signal analyzers. Basic system administration in UNIX and Windows for IC Design CAD tools. Important additional assets would be Experience with Microprocessors e.g. LEON, ARM, RISCV and HWSW codesign. Experience with mitigation of radiation effects andor radiation tests of FPGAs andor ASICs. Experience with digital ASIC design. Knowledge of the Space environment, its effects on microelectronics devices and related technology, as well as ECSS quality standards applied to space VLSI ICs. About ESAESTEC The European Space Agency ESA has sites in several European countries. The European Space Research and Technology Centre ESTEC is the largest site and the technical heart of ESA. This nursery of European space activities is located in Noordwijk, Netherlands. At ESTEC, about 2500 engineers, technicians and scientists work handson with mission design, spacecraft and space technology. Almost all ESA projects except launchers are managed from ESTEC. In Noordwijk, people work on science missions, manned space missions, Earth observation, telecommunications and navigation satellites. ESTEC provides extensive testing facilities to verify the proper operation of spacecraft, such as the Large Space Simulator LSS, acoustic and electromagnetic testing bays, multiaxis vibration tables and the ESA Propulsion Laboratory EPL.
