Sr. Hardware Design & Bring-up Engineer

A hands-on hardware engineer who reviews schematics and PCB layouts before fabrication, leads board bring-up, and diagnoses board-level problems down to the component. The person who catches design problems before fabrication and makes a stubborn board work on the bench.

What you will do

Review schematics (analog, digital, power, MCU) and Altium layouts: placement, planes, high-speed and differential routing, impedance, DFM/DFA, BOMs.

Assess EMI/EMC, SI and PI risks and fix them before fabrication.

Lead bring-up: power sequencing, clock and reset, peripherals; root-cause faults with JTAG/SWD, scopes, logic and protocol analysers; rework and hand-soldering.

Work with firmware on integration issues; coordinate fabricators and assembly houses; mentor engineers and own review checklists.
