Hardware Engineer

Design and develop mixed signal electronics systems that interface digital and analogue components effectively.

• Translating functional requirements into PCBA implementation

• Conduct PCB design and layout, focusing on signal integrity and optimal routing techniques.

• Generate manufacturing files and auxiliary documentation for PCB fabrication.

• Build prototypes and PCBAs, modify and fix errors when required

• Collaborate closely with other engineering disciplines to integrate mixed-signal solutions into larger systems

• Support supplier identification and engagement for component sourcing

• Bachelor's degree or substantive experience in electrical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, or related fields

• Excellent understanding of both analogue and digital circuit principles, with a focus on mixed-signal design

• Experience full PCB design lifecycle from taking functional specifications to generating manufacturing data.

• Hands-on experience with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium) and simulation software (e.g., SPICE).

• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex electronics issues.

• Experience utilizing laboratory equipment for testing and validation, such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, and network analysers.

• Familiarity with product life cycle management, from initial design through production and support.

• Experience with miniaturisation and rigid flex PCB design including stackups, bend radius control, impedance in flex, stiffeners and reliability

Nice to have experience in High speed and digital:

• USB 2.0 High Speed and USB Audio Class 2 is a big plus

• I2S and TDM audio data paths

• Ethernet and audio over IP concepts

• Clocking and jitter management with low phase noise

• Signal integrity and power integrity for high speed interfaces

• Reset, boot and timing strategies across mixed architectures
