Job Summary

Join a high-tech team at Kappa optronics, a leader in vision systems for Defense, Aviation, and Automotive sectors, focusing on safety and innovation. This role involves developing advanced image signal and data processing for camera systems, including Automotive ECUs and Aviation VDUs. You will implement complex algorithms in VHDL, integrate FPGAs IPs for memory control and data transfer (MIPI-CSI2, DDR Memory Controllers), and perform VHDL design simulation and verification using automated testbenches. Debugging with embedded FPGA IP-Cores and utilizing lab equipment like oscilloscopes are also key responsibilities. The ideal candidate will have a background in Electrical Engineering or Embedded Systems, with initial experience in FPGA design workflows, timing analysis, and high-speed systems. Experience with FPGA toolchains, microcontrollers, and CMOS sensors is a plus. This position offers a motivated team environment, opportunities for professional development, and the chance to contribute to cutting-edge, safety-critical imaging systems.
