For permanent employment OHB System AG in Oberpfaffenhofen is looking for a

Digital Electronics Design Engineer (m/f/d)

As part of the Electronic Systems department at OHB, you will be responsible for the design and testing of advanced electronic units for satellites. These units process high-resolution image data and sensor signals, control high-precision motors, and actively reduce mechanical vibrations, all while operating in the extreme conditions of space. If you're driven by innovation, enjoy solving complex engineering challenges, and want to contribute to long-term solutions for cutting-edge space missions, this is your opportunity. You’ll be working in an inspiring, multidisciplinary team of passionate professionals.

Your Tasks

• 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-Rel 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 Qualifications

• 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
