Hardware Engineer

Reference: 10101_1787951956

Hardware Designer or PCB Designer

The Role

The team designs advanced phased-array antenna electronics for satellite communication systems, utilizing large, high-density multilayer PCBs with thousands of components, custom silicon devices, and high-speed digital interfaces operating at multi-gigabit data rates. Boards are being fabricated at a pace that exceeds the design team's validation capacity, creating an opportunity for experienced hardware engineers to own board development and laboratory validation activities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead bring-up of newly fabricated boards, including power-on testing, subsystem checkout, debugging, and root-cause analysis.
  • Plan and execute design verification and validation activities, including high-speed digital testing, power characterization, and functional verification, while documenting results to engineering standards.
  • Collaborate closely with design engineers to identify issues and implement improvements in future board revisions.
  • Contribute to schematic capture and PCB layout activities for next-generation hardware designs.
  • Support downstream integration and testing teams by delivering validated hardware and assisting with measurement and debug activities.

What We're Looking For

  • 8+ years of board-level electrical design experience, including schematic capture, complex multilayer PCB design, power distribution, and sequencing.
  • Strong hands-on laboratory skills with expertise in board bring-up, debugging, validation, and use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and high-speed test equipment.
  • Experience with high-speed digital interfaces and multi-gigabit serial communications (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, JESD204) along with signal integrity and power integrity considerations.
  • Full product lifecycle experience from design and manufacturing through bring-up, validation, and production support.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in satellite, aerospace, or other high-reliability electronic systems.
  • Exposure to phased-array, RF, or radar hardware.
  • Experience working with custom ASICs, SoCs, FPGAs, and embedded hardware platforms.
  • Familiarity with Python-based test automation and laboratory scripting.

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