Electronics & FPGA Engineer

For a growing high-tech engineering company in the Netherlands, we are looking for an Electronics & FPGA Engineer who enjoys working close to hardware, measurement systems, and complex technical integration.

The organization develops advanced equipment for precision measurement and inspection environments. You will join a small, highly technical team where electronics, software, mechanics, and physics come together. Because the team is still compact, your work will have a direct impact on the performance, reliability, and scalability of the system.

This is a role for someone who likes ownership: not only designing a solution on paper, but also building, testing, debugging, and improving it until it works reliably in practice.

What you’ll be doing

As Electronics & FPGA Engineer, you will be responsible for the electronics and FPGA-related parts of a high-precision technical system. You will work on timing, triggering, signal handling, hardware integration, and the practical connection between different subsystems.

Your work will include:

Developing and maintaining FPGA-based timing and trigger solutions

Designing electronics for system integration, such as interface boards, signal conditioning, level shifting, cabling, and connectors

Working on signal quality, grounding, shielding, routing, and noise reduction

Bringing up and testing hardware in a lab environment

Debugging electrical and timing-related issues using measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab tools

Translating technical requirements into working electronics solutions

Collaborating with engineers from different disciplines to integrate hardware into one reliable system

Documenting designs, test results, and technical choices clearly

You will be involved from early requirements through to tested hardware, which means the role combines design, hands-on engineering, and system-level problem solving.

What you bring to the table

We are looking for someone with a strong electronics background who is comfortable working independently and taking ownership of technical challenges.

You bring:

Experience with FPGA development

Solid knowledge of digital and analog electronics

Experience with schematic design, PCB or breakout-board design, and hands-on hardware bring-up

Practical skills in soldering, cabling, probing, and debugging

Experience with timing-critical or trigger-based systems

Knowledge of signal integrity topics such as grounding, shielding, EMI, cable routing, and noise prevention

Comfortable use of lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal or delay generators

Basic Python skills for testing, automation, bring-up scripts, or data checks

A structured and ownership-driven way of working

Professional proficiency in English

A BSc or MSc degree in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Electronics, Mechatronics, or a related field

Around 3–5 years of relevant experience in electronics, embedded systems, or FPGA development

Xilinx / AMD Zynq

Motion control or encoder interfaces

Low-jitter or sub-microsecond timing systems

Trigger interfaces for cameras, sensors, lasers, or industrial equipment

Development of scientific, industrial, or high-tech measurement equipment

What we offer you

A technically challenging role in a high-tech engineering environment

A lot of ownership and influence over the electronics domain

The opportunity to work on advanced equipment where precision, timing, and reliability matter

A small and knowledgeable team with short communication lines

Room to grow into the internal specialist for electronics and FPGA-related topics

Close collaboration with specialists in software, mechanics, physics, and system engineering

A competitive employment package aligned with your experience

A role where your work is visible in the final performance of the system

Are you ready to take ownership of a complex data-driven workflow and contribute to technology that is still being built from the ground up?

Do you have questions about this vacancy?
