Belgium · Full-time · Not Applicable

As part of our FPGA (Field‑Programmable Gate Array), DSP (Digital Signal Processing) & Algorithms team, you will design, develop, and validate advanced signal processing algorithms for next-generation wireless baseband systems. Your work will directly contribute to cutting-edge applications in space communications, radar, and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System).

You will play a key role in translating theoretical concepts into efficient, real-world implementations that run on high-performance digital platforms.

Key Responsibilities

  • Model and simulate state-of-the-art physical layer (PHY) systems using Python, MATLAB, C, and/or C++
  • Design and optimize signal processing algorithms with a focus on performance, robustness, and efficiency
  • Develop fixed-point models and perform detailed performance and quantization analysis
  • Collaborate closely with FPGA, hardware, and software engineers to translate algorithms into efficient digital implementations
  • Contribute to code development in MATLAB, Python, C, and/or C++
  • Define and execute test strategies, analyze results, and debug system-level issues
  • Support integration and validation of designs in both simulation and laboratory environments

Your profile

Required Qualifications

  • Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field
  • Strong foundation in digital signal processing and communication theory
  • Proven programming skills in Python, MATLAB, C, or C++
  • Analytical mindset with excellent problem-solving skills
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work in a multidisciplinary team
  • EU passport

Technical expertise (one or more of the following)

  • Wireless communication algorithms
  • RF impairment estimation and compensation
  • Radar signal processing
  • GNSS signal processing and receiver algorithms
  • Experience with fixed-point design and hardware-oriented algorithm development
  • Familiarity with FPGA-based implementations
  • Hands-on experience with lab equipment (e.g., spectrum analyzers, signal generators, power meters,…)
  • Experience debugging and validating real hardware systems

What We Can Offer You

  • A multicultural environment. You’ll be working in an international environment with colleagues from all over the world.
  • A strong corporate culture. Our company is based on strong values: respect, trust, personal development and well-being.
  • Professional development. You’ll get the chance to learn, to share your expertise, to develop your skills and contribute to high-level, international projects in a high-tech environment.
  • Salary package: a very attractive salary package including numerous fringe benefits. The main job location is Hoboken, though, short-term missions abroad are part of this challenging job environment.
