Electronic Design Engineer

ELECTRONIC DESIGN ENGINEER - BRUSSELS REGION (BELGIUM) - PERMANENT POSITION

We're currently recruiting for a highly motivated and detail-oriented Electronics Design Engineer to join an aerospace engineering team, contributing to the design and development of advanced electronic and avionics systems used in aircraft, spacecraft, and defense platforms.

In this role, you will be responsible for the full lifecycle of electronic hardware development, from initial concept and requirements capture through design, analysis, prototyping, testing, qualification, and in-service support.

You will work on mission-critical, safety-sensitive systems where performance, reliability, and compliance are paramount. This includes designing robust analog and digital circuits capable of operating in harsh environments such as extreme temperatures, vibration, altitude, and electromagnetic interference.

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including systems, software, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers to ensure seamless integration of electronic subsystems into larger aerospace platforms.

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop analog and digital electronic circuits for aerospace systems
• Create schematics, PCB layouts, and supporting documentation
• Perform circuit simulation, analysis, and verification
• Conduct hardware testing, debugging, and validation under environmental conditions (temperature, vibration, EMI/EMC)
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including mechanical, software, and systems engineers
• Ensure designs meet aerospace standards such as DO-254, DO-160, and relevant safety regulations
• Support prototype builds, integration, and system-level testing
• Participate in design reviews and provide technical input
• Maintain configuration control and documentation throughout the product lifecycle

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Proven experience in electronic hardware design (typically 3+ years for mid-level roles)
• Strong knowledge of analog and digital circuit design principles
• Experience with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence, or similar)
• Familiarity with simulation tools (e.g., SPICE)
• Understanding of aerospace or safety-critical design standards
• Ability to troubleshoot and debug complex electronic systems
• Attention to detail and commitment to quality
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Ability to work under pressure and meet project deadlines
• Documentation and technical reporting proficiency

The Offer:

• A permanent, full-time employment contract
• A salary & benefits package commensurate with experience
