Role Overview
Rapiscans products use proprietary data acquisition systems based on modern electronic components and techniques. Joining the hardware design team, this role is responsible for the design and implementation of next‑generation core technology for data acquisition within the Cargo Division.
Responsibilities
- Research and develop precision analog signal conditioning and acquisition (transimpedance amplifiers and signal ADC).
- Design board‑level high‑speed digital circuits utilizing FPGAs and embedded processors.
- Conduct design‑for‑manufacturing reviews of production PCB assemblies.
- Design, code, implement, and verify FPGAs (Xilinx & Lattice) using Verilog.
- Design, code, and debug low‑level applications, primarily using C, for FPGA processors (Microblaze), microcontrollers (MSP430, AVR, Tiva) and embedded Linux microprocessor systems (Sitara AM5728).
- Realize algorithms defined by floating‑point models in fixed‑point FPGA DSP slices.
- Collaborate with outside design services to deliver PCB layouts, SI analysis, and mechanical board design.
- Perform hands‑on bring‑up, test, and diagnostics of board‑level hardware.
- Author engineering documentation to established team procedures.
- Support manufacturing, commissioning, and service departments.
- Travel internationally for technical collaboration as required.
Candidate Requirements
- All‑rounder electronics engineer with experience in board‑level hardware design; analog, digital, and low‑level embedded software.
- History of circuit board designs and bring‑up.
- Experience with bare‑metal software development using TI Code Composer Studio, Vivado SDK, and AVR Studio.
- Proficiency with processor J‑TAG emulators/debuggers and lab test equipment (oscilloscopes, DVMs, PSUs).
- Practical, hands‑on approach to working with circuit boards, including soldering, reworking, and measurement.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Flexibility to pick up new ideas and tools quickly, and work under pressure both independently and within a small dynamic team.
- Broad knowledge of electronics, design techniques, and EDA tools for hardware and embedded software.
- Understanding of EMC, high‑speed signal integrity, and design for manufacture and test.
- Technical degree (ideally in electrical/electronic engineering).
