Hardware Engineer

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.
