Job Description & How to Apply Below
Location:
Ghent, Belgium
Working Model:
On-site / Hybrid (depending on project phase)
About the Role:
We are supporting an advanced aerospace technology company based in Ghent that is developing next-generation embedded systems for high-performance, mission-critical applications.
The team is looking to strengthen its embedded software capability with an engineer experienced in C/C++, Embedded Linux, and hardware acceleration to offload computationally intensive workloads from general-purpose CPUs.
This role sits at the intersection of software, hardware, and real-time systems, contributing to platforms where performance, reliability, and determinism are critical.
Key Responsibilities:
Design, develop, and optimize embedded software in C/C++ for aerospace systems
Work on Embedded Linux-based platforms (kernel, drivers, BSP, system integration)
Interface with and program specialized processing units such as GPUs, TPUs, NPUs, and/or FPGAs
Offload compute-heavy tasks from CPUs, including:
AI / ML inference
Image, video, and signal processing
Graphics pipelines
Cryptographic or security-related workloads
Collaborate closely with hardware, electronics, and systems engineers to co-design efficient software-hardware solutions
Optimize for performance, latency, power consumption, and reliability
Support system bring-up, debugging, and validation on real hardware
Contribute to documentation and engineering best practices in a safety-critical environment
Required Experience &
Skills:
Strong experience in embedded software development using C and C++
Solid background with Embedded Linux (Yocto/Buildroot, drivers, kernel-space vs user-space concepts)
Hands-on experience working with hardware accelerators:
GPUs, TPUs, NPUs, FPGAs, or custom ASICs
Experience of floading compute-intensive workloads from CPUs
Strong understanding of:
Low-level systems programming
Memory management, concurrency, and performance optimization
Comfortable working close to hardware (registers, interfaces, bring-up, debugging)
Familiarity with real-time constraints and deterministic systems
Exposure to AI acceleration frameworks, video pipelines, or crypto/security stacks
Knowledge of hardware description languages (VHDL/Verilog) or FPGA tool chains
What's on Offer
Work on cutting-edge aerospace platforms with real-world impact
High-complexity technical challenges across software and hardware
Collaborative engineering environment with strong technical ownership
Competitive salary and benefits package
Long-term, stable projects in a highly regulated, advanced technology domain
