We're looking for a Hardware Engineer to join our Hardware team in Granada, Spain.
Our Technology:
We’re the world leader in Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (R-PNT) solutions that improve the reliability, performance and safety of critical applications,
and high-risk operations, even in GPS/GNSS denied environments. We provide virtually fail-safe GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) and PNT (Positioning, Navigation and Timing) solutions for military and commercial applications worldwide.
The position:
We are looking for a Hardware Engineer who is highly motivated to work with a talented and diverse engineering team to address hardware design and system integration with software and testing to deliver end customer products. As a Hardware Design Engineer, you will be an integral member of the Hardware Engineering team designing custom boards from scratch. These boards will include high-end FPGAs, SoCs, memories, DACs, ADCs, high-speed interfaces (PCIe, 10G ethernet ...), being used in high-performance and critical applications within scientific facilities such as particle accelerators. The ideal candidate for this role is someone who is able to work proactively and closely with other cross-functional engineering groups such as industrial design, product design, production test, FPGA and software engineering.
What you’ll be doing:
- Work with a friendly and positive team to design new high-performance electronic equipment (schematic capture and PCB layout) and sustain/support existing products.
- Test prototype designs to guarantee they meet requirements, identifying potential issues before they reach production.
- Collaborate with Software, FPGA, and Mechanical Engineers to ensure the hardware works for its intended purpose.
- Provide technical support to the Production team and ensure compliance to time frame, quality and cost targets.
- Coordinate with product development teams to perform Design for Testability (DFT) on design cycle.
- Collaborate with contract manufacturer partners to ensure timely supply of systems and devices in accordance with the specifications.
- You will use your critical thinking and problem-solving skills to ensure the highest quality for the results in accordance with the allotted schedule, effort, and budget.
- You will work on international projects for scientific facilities as well as the latest and greatest in Resilient PNT and deterministic technologies!
What You Bring To Our Team:
- A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
- Experience with schematics capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer.
- Experience with components selection for new designs.
- Design and routing of low speed serial communications as RS422, RS232, SPI, I2C, CAN...
- Familiarity with low noise power supply circuits (DC-DC and linear regulators).
- Knowledge of AMD-Xilinx FPGAs and SoCs.
- Testing and troubleshooting experience using basic equipment such as network analyzers, spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes.
- Minimal experience required: 2 years.
- Good written and communication skills in English.
Desirable skills. The company will positively consider knowledge and experience working with:
- High speed and low noise PCB layout:
- Stack-up design.
- Impedance calculations and routing rules definition.
- Differential signals.
- Crosstalk requirements.
- PCB decoupling.
- Power and grounding distribution.
- Design and routing of analog and RF circuits:
- Conditioning of sensors signals.
- Front-end systems design.
- Communications RF circuitry design.
- Design and routing of high-speed digital circuits (10G Ethernet, PCIe, DDRx memories...)
- Design and routing of mixed analog-digital circuits:
- High-speed DAC and ADC acquisition systems.
