Senior Hardware Development Engineer - PCB Design

Location: Seattle, Washington, USA
Contract: 12+ months
Work Arrangement: 5 days onsite

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior PCB Hardware Design Engineer / Senior Hardware Development Engineer to support the development of advanced satellite payload hardware. This is a hands-on role focused heavily on board bring-up, hardware debug, design verification, validation, and supporting the transition of validated designs into subsequent hardware revisions.

The ideal candidate will have strong board-level design experience combined with extensive laboratory expertise and the ability to troubleshoot complex hardware issues from initial power-on through root-cause identification and resolution.

Responsibilities

  • Lead bring-up of newly fabricated circuit boards, including power-on, section-by-section checkout, and first-time hardware debug through root cause.
  • Plan and execute design verification and validation campaigns, including high-speed link testing, power measurements, functional testing, and detailed documentation of results.
  • Partner closely with hardware design engineers to identify issues and drive corrective actions into subsequent board revisions.
  • Contribute to schematic capture and PCB layout activities for next-generation hardware as project priorities and bandwidth allow.
  • Support RF and antenna engineering teams with validated hardware and assist with their measurement and characterization requirements.
  • Troubleshoot board-level hardware issues using systematic debug methodologies and laboratory instrumentation.
  • Support the complete hardware development lifecycle from design and fabrication through bring-up, validation, and manufacturing support.

Required Qualifications

  • 8+ years of electrical engineering experience in board-level hardware design.
  • Strong experience with schematic capture and complex, dense multilayer PCB designs.
  • Solid understanding of power delivery, power distribution, and sequencing.
  • Extensive hands-on laboratory experience with board bring-up, hardware debug, and validation.
  • Proficiency with oscilloscopes, logic/protocol analyzers, and high-speed test and measurement equipment.
  • Experience with high-speed digital interfaces and multi-gigabit SerDes technologies such as JESD204, PCIe, 25G+ Ethernet, DDR, or similar.
  • Strong understanding of signal integrity and power integrity considerations.
  • Demonstrated experience across the full hardware lifecycle: design → build → bring-up → validation → manufacturing support.
  • BSEE, MSEE, or equivalent practical engineering experience.

GCS is acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy.
