Digital Electronics Design Engineer (m/f/d)

Digital Electronics Design Engineer (m/f/d)

Design the electronics that power Europe’s next space missions.

As part of the Electronic Systems Department at OHB, you will design and validate high-reliability digital and mixed-signal electronics for satellite applications. Your work will enable high-resolution image processing, precise motion control, and vibration suppression , operating flawlessly in the harsh environment of space.

Your Task

• Design digital and mixed-signal electronic circuits for high-speed signal acquisition, image processing, and control systems based on FPGAs
• Develop high-speed interfaces and circuits using multi-gigabit serial links
• Verify performance through simulations, including worst-case, derating, and signal integrity analyses
• Supervise the layout of multi-layer and rigid-flex high-reliability PCBs
• Conduct testing and validation of your circuits in the lab, as well as under extreme conditions during qualification and acceptance campaigns
• Collaborate closely with specialists from mechanical design, radiation engineering, EEE parts engineering, manufacturing, and FPGA development

Your Qualification

• Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering or a related discipline
• Solid experience in digital electronics design using FPGAs, and familiarity with high-speed digital interface standards (e.g., JESD204, DDR, PCI, Wizard Link)
• Good understanding of analog electronics, including high-speed ADCs and analog front ends
• Experience in electronics development for space applications according to ECSS standards
• Knowledge of spacecraft communication protocols such as SpaceWire, MIL-STD-1553, and SpaceFibre
• Proficiency in at least one programming language for test automation (e.g., Python or C/C++)
• Experience with ECAD tools and simulation software (e.g., Mentor PADS Professional, SPICE, HyperLynx)
• Excellent communication skills and fluency in English
