We are looking for a talented and experienced Senior Digital Hardware Design Engineer to join our hardware engineering team. You will play a key role in the design, development, and delivery of complex digital hardware solutions for high-performance products. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will take ownership of designs from concept through to production, driving technical excellence across the full development lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement digital hardware including high-speed interfaces, signal processing, and switching/routing architectures.
- Develop, simulate, and verify RTL designs, ensuring correctness, timing closure, and design robustness.
- Define and review hardware architectures, contributing to system-level design decisions and trade-off analyses.
- Produce and review detailed design documentation, including specifications, schematics, and test plans.
- Perform functional simulation, static timing analysis, and synthesis targeting FPGAs and/or ASICs.
- Collaborate with firmware, software, and systems engineers to ensure seamless hardware/software integration.
- Support hardware verification and validation activities, including lab bring-up and debugging.
- Contribute to design reviews, code reviews, and continuous improvement of engineering processes
- Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure seamless design for high volume manufacture and test
- Work with component manufacturers and distributors to ensure longevity of manufacture.
- Experience with Altium Designer
- Design principles for operation in harsh environments.
Required Skills & Experience
- Degree (BEng/MEng/BSc or equivalent) in Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline
- Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals including clocking strategies, CDC (clock domain crossing), reset architecture, and timing constraints.
- Experience with FPGA design flows using tools such as Vivado, Quartus, or equivalent.
- Familiarity with simulation tools such as ModelSim, Questa, or similar.
- Experience writing and executing hardware test plans and debug at the board level using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analysers, protocol analysers).
- Strong understanding of high-speed PCB design considerations and signal integrity principles.
Desirable Skills
- Five or more years experience with high speed digital design.
- Experience with Altium Designer
- Experience with Hyperlynx
- Accelerated life testing
