As a Hardware Design Engineer, you will be responsible for driving end-to-end design and development of cutting-edge electronic systems, ensuring performance, reliability, and compliance with industry standards. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to translate product requirements into robust schematics, PCB layouts, and component selections, while applying best practices in mixed-signal and antenna integration. Your role will involve rigorous EMC and CE testing to validate compliance and optimize designs for manufacturability, packaging, and power efficiency. You will continuously improve design workflows, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to technical documentation and design reviews, all while staying current with evolving regulatory and technological trends.

Requirements

• Design analog and mixed-signal circuits, ensuring optimal performance and noise immunity.
• Develop detailed PCB layouts, conduct design rule checks, and manage layer stack-ups for high-frequency signals.
• Integrate antennas and RF front-ends, performing impedance matching and radiation pattern optimization.
• Lead EMC testing and analysis, creating mitigation strategies for EMI/EMC compliance.
• Coordinate CE testing procedures, prepare necessary documentation, and liaise with certification bodies.
• Collaborate with manufacturing and supply-chain teams to finalize BOMs and ensure design for manufacturability (DFM).
• Perform PCB fabrication and assembly reviews, including pick-and-place and reflow soldering quality checks.
• Conduct prototype validation, debugging, and a-priori risk assessments.
• Update design data and architecture diagrams in collaboration with firmware and software teams.
• Mentor junior designers and maintain a knowledge base of best practices and design guidelines.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
• Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in hardware design and PCB development.
• Proficiency with EDA tools such as Altium Designer, Cadence Virtuoso, or similar.
• Strong knowledge of mixed-signal and RF circuit design principles.
• Demonstrated experience with antenna integration and RF measurement techniques.
• Hands-on expertise in EMC/EMI testing, including lab setup and data analysis.
• Familiarity with CE certification processes and compliance documentation.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and a systematic approach to troubleshooting.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced engineering environment.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
