Job Description:

Join our team as a Digital Hardware Engineer and play a critical role in advancing the next generation of embedded digital hardware supporting the company's Software Defined Radios (SDR) and accessories.

High-Speed Digital Protocols:

Comprehensive technical knowledge of embedded microprocessor design and integration for ARM Cores, DDR memory interfaces, and high-bandwidth USB and Ethernet.
Design Simulation & Analysis:

Proficient use of simulation tools such as LTSpice for circuitry, HyperLynx for signal integrity, and MATLAB for system-level modeling.
Advanced Architecture & PCB Design:

Proven ability to lead the full design cycle—including requirement analysis, schematic capture (using Mentor VX/DxDesigner), and complex high-speed layout analysis.
Verification & Validation (V&V):

Expertise in executing subsystem and system-level test plans, using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) to identify and resolve critical hardware defects.
Compliance & Reliability Engineering:

Experience designing for MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC) and adhering to IPC standards to ensure hardware survivability in high-reliability environments.

Qualifications:

Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or a related field.
Experience: 6+ years of relevant experience (4+ with a Master’s degree) or 10+ years of experience in Digital Design in lieu of a degree.

Preferred Additional Skills:

Specialized Knowledge: Familiarity with SDR architectures, embedded SW/VHDL, and configuration management tools like Agile.
SDR & RF Architecture Mastery: A nuanced understanding of Software Defined Radio (SDR) architectures and the interaction between digital boards and RF circuitry.
