FPGA engineer (Internship)25-26

We’re looking for a R&D Engineer  to join our Technology Exploration Unit team in Granada, Spain.

Our Technology:

We’re the world leader in Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (R-PNT) solutions that improve the reliability, performance and safety of critical applications, and high-risk operations, even in GPS/GNSS denied environments. We provide virtually fail-safe GNSS and PNT solutions for military and commercial applications worldwide.

We provide ultra-precise synchronization devices (sub-ns) and frequency distribution for applications that require a high degree of reliability and precision by enabling different technological solutions based on the White-Rabbit PTP or other timing protocols.

In addition, SED Spain has extensive expertise in Time Sensitive Networking through several works carried out in the framework of aerospace with ESA to provide deterministic communications with no packet loss. We provide highly innovative elements and dependable solutions with time at the essence.

What you Bring to Safran:

• Graduate’s Degree in Telecommunications, Software Engineering, Computer Science or related field. Master’s Degree is highly recommendable.
• Excellent written and dissemination skills in English (advanced Cambridge certificate or similar, at least similar speaking skills).
• Technical skills in general software development, embedded Linux, software engineering, FPGA design, firmware modules, and Linux kernel driver development and debugging.
• Recommended experience in R&D projects.
• Required experience in:Knowledge of Xilinx FPGA development tools and platforms would be valuable (Vivado, Vitis, HLS, …). FPGA logic design and simulation (VHDL/Verilog)
• Experience in embedded software development, testing, and debugging.
• Knowledge of embedded Linux generation tools and build systems (e.g., Buildroot, Petalinux, …).
• Desirable experience in:Development and design of telecommunication networks.
• Knowledge of Ethernet networking: link layer protocols, MAC design and operation, Ethernet switching, VLAN and 802.1Q standards.
• Timing, synchronization and frequency dissemination (PTP, NTP, SyncE, or other timing transfer protocols).
• Previous knowledge of the Xilinx device architecture and platforms, e.g., Zynq-7000, UltraScale, Zynq-MPSoC, is also desirable.
