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 electronics design role covering the full product development lifecycle, from system requirements and board-level design through development, verification, testing, troubleshooting and manufacturing introduction.

Key responsibilities:

• 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 CAD tools such as Altium or OrCAD.
• Translate system requirements into robust board-level hardware designs.
• Perform hardware test, verification and validation of electronic assemblies and sub-assemblies.
• Write test specifications, circuit descriptions and technical reports.
• Support FPGA-based hardware using VHDL and Embedded C where required.
• Use MATLAB and scripting to configure, test and verify software-intensive hardware designs.
• Interface with RF systems and support associated hardware configuration.
• Participate in design reviews, configuration control and technical risk management.
• Support manufacturing, product introduction, troubleshooting and component obsolescence management.

Required experience:

• Strong electronic hardware design or electronics engineering background.
• High-speed digital design and multilayer PCB experience.
• Signal integrity knowledge.
• CAD experience for schematic capture, PCB design, layout or simulation.
• Hardware verification, validation and test experience.
• Experience delivering high-quality electronic designs to schedule and budget.
• Degree or equivalent qualification in Electronics Engineering or a related discipline.

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

Occasional UK travel may be required.
