FPGA Engineer

About the Job

Step into the heart of Dutch high‑tech innovation as a Senior FPGA Engineer at TMC Electronics—where your expertise directly contributes to cutting‑edge developments in semiconductors, medical technology, automotive, and other advanced domains.

With a strong network across the high‑tech industry, TMC offers you the opportunity to work in some of the most challenging and forward‑thinking R&D environments in the Netherlands.

About the Role

As a Senior FPGA Engineer, you will design and implement complex FPGA solutions using VHDL. You will work closely with stakeholders to collect requirements, define specifications, and create robust FPGA architectures.

Your role covers the full development lifecycle: architecture, coding, simulation, verification, validation, and integration with firmware, software, and hardware teams.

Our clients predominantly work with Xilinx or Altera/Intel FPGA platforms, so hands‑on experience with these ecosystems and their associated toolchains is essential.

In this senior position, you also have the opportunity to guide and coach junior engineers.

What You Will Do

• Gather requirements and translate them into clear FPGA specifications and architectures
• Design, implement, verify, and validate FPGA designs using VHDL
• Work with Xilinx or Altera/Intel platforms and toolchains
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across high‑tech R&D environments
• Integrate FPGA designs with software, firmware, and hardware components
• Support and coach junior FPGA engineers (preferred)

What We Are Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics or Computer Science
• 5+ years of experience designing FPGA solutions with VHDL
• Experience with FPGA verification tools and methodologies (e.g., SystemVerilog, UVM)
• Strong hands‑on experience with Xilinx or Altera/Intel tools and platforms
• Knowledge of scripting languages such as Python or Tcl
• Proven experience in the high‑tech industry
• Practical experience with integration of firmware, software, and hardware
• Strong communication and writing skills in English
