About
Role Overview We are seeking a
Hardware Design Engineer
with experience in PCB design using
Altium Designer . In this role, you will design, develop, test, and iterate hardware solutions for high‑precision timing, network synchronisation, and embedded systems. You will work closely with software, FPGA, mechanical, and product teams to deliver robust, production‑ready designs. You will work alongside senior hardware design engineers as well as external design consultants.
Key Responsibilities Hardware Design & Development
Design multi‑layer PCBs in
Altium Designer , including schematic capture, layout, library management, and DFM/DFA considerations.
Develop hardware for clock synchronisation and timing systems, including oscillators, GNSS receivers, network timing modules (PTP/NTP), and related embedded electronics.
Create, simulate, and validate high‑speed digital, analogue, mixed‑signal, and power circuitry.
Perform signal integrity and power integrity analysis; design for EMC compliance.
Generate comprehensive fabrication and assembly documentation.
Testing & Validation
Develop and execute test plans for prototype validation and product qualification.
Work with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, frequency counters, power analysers, logic analysers).
Debug hardware issues and provide timely design revisions.
Support environmental, compliance, and reliability testing.
Cross‑Functional Collaboration
Collaborate with firmware, FPGA, and software engineers to ensure seamless integration across the product stack.
Work with manufacturing partners to resolve production issues and improve yield.
Participate in design reviews, documentation, and version‑control workflows.
Required Skills & Experience
Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field.
1‑5 years experience.
Strong understanding of digital and analogue circuit design.
Experience with high‑speed interfaces (e.g., Ethernet, USBրդ, SPI, I2C, LVDS).
Familiarity with oscillators, timing circuits, PLLs, GNSS modules, and precision measurement components.
Solidматию
understanding of EMC/EMI principles and regulatory compliance (CE, FCC or similar).
Comfortable using lab equipment for debugging and characterisation.
Knowledge of design‑for‑manufacture (DFM) and design‑for‑test (DFT).
Preferred Qualifications (nice to have but not essential)
Experience in hardware for timing, synchronisation, PTP (IEEE 1588), GNSS, or networking hardware.
Experience with FPGA/SoC platforms (Xilinx, Intel/Altera, Microchip).
Familiarity with thermal design and power optimisation.
Experience with scripting or automation tools (Python, MATLAB, etc.).
Knowledge of embedded firmware basics (C/C++).
Personal Attributes
Strong problem‑solving skills and attention to detail.
Ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritise effectively.
Collaborative and communicative team player.
Driven to innovate and continuously improve hardware quality.
What We Offer
Competitive salary and benefits package.
Opportunity to work on cutting‑edge timing and synchronisation technologies.
A collaborative, fast‑moving, engineering‑focused environment.
Career growth and technical development opportunities.
Seniority level Entry level
