Freelance Senior FPGA Design Engineer (ZZP)

FPGA Design Engineer

Start Date: ASAP

Duration of the Assignment: 1 year

FPGA expertise is crucial for key areas such as MRI, HPM, and IGT. At Philips Electronic Systems & IoT (ES&IoT), we maintain these skills at an expert level to support businesses where internal maintenance of this expertise is impractical. Due to ongoing attrition, we need a replacement to continue serving our businesses. We expect a sustained and increasing demand for these services, funded through customer-paid activities (PPU). This position is strategically significant and should be filled by a permanent employee or a contractor with potential for transition to permanent status. We are currently hiring for multiple positions, with 10 requests in the pipeline.
