About this role
Opportunity Overview
As a Hardware Engineer, you will independently design, develop, integrate, and validate electronic hardware for advanced photonics test and measurement systems. You will apply sound engineering judgment across analogue, digital, mixed-signal, and embedded designs, taking defined hardware modules from requirements through schematic capture, prototype bring-up, verification, and release to production.
You will work closely with cross-functional teams to resolve complex technical issues, improve product reliability and manufacturability, and deliver robust solutions that meet performance, quality, cost, and schedule objectives.
Key Responsibilities
-
Own the design and development of assigned electronic circuits, PCBAs, and hardware modules for photonics test systems.
-
Translate product and system requirements into hardware specifications, design decisions, test plans, and objective verification evidence.
-
Perform schematic capture, component selection, design analysis, design reviews, PCB layout, and prototype bring-up using established processes.
-
Plan and execute laboratory testing using oscilloscopes, power supplies, signal generators, electronic loads, and other relevant instrumentation.
-
Debug hardware and system-level issues using structured root-cause analysis and implement corrective actions and continuous improvements.
-
Develop automated test and data-analysis scripts to improve engineering efficiency, repeatability, and traceability.
-
Create and maintain design documentation, verification records, component libraries, bills of materials, and release data in internal documentation and PLM systems.
-
Collaborate with Systems, Firmware, Software, Mechanical, NPI, Test Systems, Production, and Supply Chain teams to ensure designs meet functional and production requirements.
-
Work with Production and NPI to establish manufacturing tests, incoming quality control protocols, and acceptance criteria for newly released PCBAs.
-
Contribute to technical reviews and provide practical guidance to less-experienced engineers and technicians within the scope of assigned work.
-
All About You
-
We seek engineers who combine strong technical fundamentals with ownership, curiosity, and a commitment to customer success. The successful candidate will be able to progress defined engineering work with moderate autonomy, communicate risks early, and collaborate effectively across disciplines.
-
Minimum Qualifications
-
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
-
At least 3 years of relevant industry experience designing, developing, testing, or supporting electronic hardware products.
-
Practical experience with analogue, digital, mixed-signal, and/or power electronic circuit design and verification.
-
Experience with e-CAD tools such as Altium Designer, including schematic capture and working knowledge of PCB layout and design-for-manufacture principles.
-
Hands-on proficiency with electronic laboratory equipment and structured hardware bring-up, debugging, and fault isolation.
-
Experience developing engineering test scripts in Python or MATLAB for test automation, data acquisition, or analysis.
-
Working knowledge of embedded systems, microcontrollers, and programming in C or C++.
-
Experience using version-control tools such as Git or SVN.
-
Strong analytical, problem-solving, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills.
-
Ability to manage assigned priorities, make evidence-based engineering decisions, and deliver work with moderate supervision.
