Vickerstock are proud to be working in partnership with an innovative engineering company to recruit a Hardware Design Engineer.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly skilled engineering team developing next-generation DSP hardware, taking products from initial concept through to PCB layout, bring-up and verification. The Role As a Hardware Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the complete ECAD design process, from schematic capture through to PCB layout and initial board bring-up. Working closely with hardware and software engineers, you will develop high-performance digital hardware while ensuring all technical decisions and specifications are fully documented.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop new DSP hardware from schematic capture through to PCBA design and bring-up.
- Produce multi-layer PCB designs (minimum 8-layer boards).
- Design complex Micro BGA layouts using advanced routing techniques, including:
- Via-in-pad
- Blind and buried vias
- HDI PCB design
- Controlled impedance and differential pair routing
- High-speed digital interfaces
- Create, verify and maintain schematic symbols and PCB component libraries.
- Document design decisions, technical specifications and development activities.
- Carry out initial PCB bring-up, debugging and functional verification.
- Collaborate with hardware and software engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
What You’ll Need
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related discipline.
- Proven experience in hardware design and development.
- Strong experience with schematic capture and PCB design.
- Experience designing complex multi-layer PCBs with high-speed digital interfaces.
- Knowledge of Micro BGA routing, HDI design, blind/buried vias and impedance-controlled layouts.
- Proficiency with ECAD design and simulation tools.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
Desirable
- Experience designing hardware based around DSPs or FPGAs.
- Experience bringing up and debugging new PCB assemblies.
- Knowledge of signal integrity and high-speed digital design principles.
