What You’ll Do

This entry-level Hardware Design Engineer will support hardware design, validation, and sustainment for precision test-and-measurement products. Working with senior engineers, you will contribute to schematic capture, PCB layout support, prototype bring-up, and lab verification.

• Assist in the design and development of PCB-based hardware systems from concept through validation
• Create and maintain schematics, BOMs, and engineering documentation using industry CAD tools
• Support PCB layout activities by collaborating with senior engineers on placement, routing, and constraints
• Participate in prototype bring-up, debugging, and functional validation
• Apply basic signal integrity principles (transmission lines, impedance control, termination, high-speed routing)
• Design and analyze basic analog circuits (amplifiers, filters, power supplies, signal conditioning, ADC/DAC interfaces)
• Use lab instruments (oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum/network analyzers, power supplies) for testing and characterization
• Troubleshoot hardware issues using structured debugging and root-cause analysis
• Participate in schematic/layout/design reviews and cross-discipline design meetings
• Collaborate with firmware, FPGA, software, mechanical, manufacturing, and test engineers to support product development
• Support manufacturing and sustaining engineering activities, including production troubleshooting and field support
• Follow established engineering processes, quality systems, and documentation standards
