Senior Hardware Engineer

Opportunity Overview

The Senior Hardware Engineer is responsible for the design, development, verification, integration, and release of electronic hardware used in high-performance test and measurement instrumentation. The role contributes across analogue, digital, embedded, RF, microwave, and high-speed signal acquisition subsystems, from architecture definition through validation and production release.

This position combines technical leadership, hands-on design, cross-functional collaboration, and mentoring of junior engineers to deliver robust, manufacturable products that meet customer and business requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Hardware Design and Development

• Design and develop analogue, digital, embedded, RF, microwave, and high-speed electronic hardware and PCB assemblies.

• In collaboration with peers define system and hardware architectures, detailed designs, verification plans, and validation criteria.

• Perform schematic capture, PCB layout oversight, BOM creation, bring-up, debugging, functional testing, and design validation.

• Contribute to the design and optimization of broadband RF front-end modules, amplifiers, attenuators, filters, sampler circuits, and related signal-chain blocks.

• Develop prototypes and evaluate new technologies and product concepts.

• Simulation, Analysis, and Characterization

• Perform signal integrity, RF, and high-frequency circuit analysis using appropriate simulation tools.

• Correlate simulation results with laboratory and system-level measurements.

• Execute characterization and validation activities using oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analysers, signal generators, LCR meters, and related test equipment.

• Apply established verification, de-embedding, calibration, and measurement practices.

• 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 high level of autonomy, communicate risks early, and collaborate effectively across disciplines.

• Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline.

• Significant experience in hardware product design and development.

• Experience with analogue, digital, embedded, RF, microwave, or high-speed electronic systems.

• Hands-on experience using oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, multimeters, LCR meters, and related laboratory equipment.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.

• Ability to document technical work clearly and communicate technical trade-offs effectively.

• Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with broadband RF and microwave subsystems.

• Experience with high-speed communication or optical test and measurement systems.

• Familiarity with sampling oscilloscopes, high-speed acquisition systems, or equivalent-time sampling techniques.

• Experience with design validation testing, automated test systems, and test automation.

• Experience using Matlab, Python, or C for engineering analysis or hardware validation.

• Experience collaborating with FPGA, DSP, firmware, or mixed-signal design teams.
