Job Description:

Hardware Engineer

We are recruiting for a Hardware Engineer to join an established engineering team developing complex electronic systems and high-performance hardware products.

This is a hands-on, end-to-end electronics design role for an engineer who can take hardware from system requirements and initial concept through detailed design, verification, manufacture and product introduction.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate system requirements into robust board-level hardware designs.
• Design high-speed digital electronics and support analogue circuit simulation.
• Develop multilayer PCB designs, layouts and signal integrity solutions.
• Produce schematics and PCB designs using Altium, OrCAD or similar CAD tools.
• Lead hardware verification, validation, testing, troubleshooting and design reviews.
• Write test specifications, circuit descriptions and technical documentation.
• Support FPGA-based hardware using VHDL and Embedded C where required.
• Use MATLAB and scripting for hardware configuration, test and verification.
• Support RF-related hardware, manufacturing introduction, component selection and obsolescence management.
• Deliver hardware designs to agreed schedule, quality and budget requirements.

Required Experience

• Strong electronic hardware design / electronics engineering background.
• Proven experience designing products from requirements through to manufacture.
• High-speed digital design and multilayer PCB experience.
• Signal integrity and board-level design knowledge.
• Schematic capture, PCB layout and hardware simulation experience.
• Hardware verification, validation, debugging and test experience.
• Degree or equivalent in Electronics Engineering or a related discipline.

Experience with Altium, OrCAD, FPGA, VHDL, Embedded C, MATLAB, RF, radar systems or Silicon Expert is advantageous.
