Research Associate for FPGA Design | Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter für den Bereich FPGA Design (m/w/d)

Job Summary

As a Research Associate for FPGA Design, you will play a pivotal role in advancing next-generation technology for test and radio systems. Your day-to-day responsibilities include developing FPGA designs using hardware description languages, creating software for integrated microcontrollers, and conducting in-depth research on communication solutions. You will be responsible for the entire development lifecycle, from conceptualization and verification to error analysis and documentation. This role is uniquely collaborative, requiring regular interaction with industrial and academic project partners, participation in international conferences, and contributions to standardization organizations. Candidates need a strong background in electrical engineering or computer science, specifically with Xilinx FPGAs and VHDL. This position is particularly attractive for those seeking a balance between industrial application and academic rigor, offering a long-term perspective through a permanent contract, flexible working hours (35 or 40-hour week), and a dedicated individual training budget of €1,000 per year.
