Hour Salary In Spain Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We're looking for an FPGA Engineer to join our Technology Exploration Unit team in Granada, Spain.

Our Technology:

We are 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, and ultra-precise synchronization (sub-ns) and frequency distribution for applications requiring a high degree of reliability and precision through White Rabbit PTP.

In addition, Safran has great expertise in Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) through several projects in the framework of aerospace with ESA to provide deterministic communications with zero-packet loss. Overall, we deliver highly dependable solutions that always have high accuracy and robust timing at their core.

The Position:

As an assistant R&D engineer, you will be a key member of our Technology Exploration Unit in Granada, Spain. You will be involved in research and development tasks in the areas of telecommunications and deterministic networking.

What youll be doing:

• You will have responsibility for understanding requirements, developing innovative projects, planning new features, and ensuring that all developments are delivered according to specification.
• We are all about improvement, so you will be able to identify opportunities to improve product performance, efficiency, and design.
• You will use your critical thinking and problem-solving skills to ensure the highest quality for the results considering scheduling, budget, and effort constraints.
• You will work with the latest and greatest in Resilient PNT and deterministic technologies!
• You will have effective, constant communication with other project partners and project managers all the way from the kick-offs to the stakeholder meetings.
• You will participate in internal meetings to build a comprehensive work plan, manage the budget and personnel effort for projects.
• You will write deliverables, dissemination material, assist in project-related communication activities, and attend workshops and other events.
• You will be developing the key firmware and FPGA elements of different prototypes for TSN networking. Validation of the design will be an important part of the position, and you will be expected to produce test benches, simulations, and experimental evaluation strategies to verify the prototypes.

What you Bring to Safran:

• Masters Degree in Telecommunications, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related.
