Job Description:
As a Hardware Engineering lead, you'll supervise a team of talented design engineers, spearheading the development, prototyping, and testing of digital instrumentation. You'll work cross-functionally with mechanical, software, and manufacturing engineering to design high-quality, state-of-the-art test and measurement instruments. Your guidance will be crucial in meeting project goals, improving processes, and ensuring product reliability. This role requires a blend of project management and technical expertise, with a strong foundation in digital circuit design.
Responsibilities:
Team Leadership & Development
- Lead and mentor a team of hardware engineers, providing technical guidance and architectural direction.
- Foster a collaborative and innovative work environment.
- Set clear goals and performance expectations, manage team dynamics, and ensure high levels of engagement and productivity.
- Conduct regular performance reviews, offer constructive feedback, and identify opportunities for professional growth.
- Actively contribute to the design, development, and testing of PCBs and PCBAs, with a focus on high-quality, reliable designs.
- Oversee PCB layout, schematic design, and component selection to ensure designs meet performance and manufacturability standards.
- Participate in defining the strategic direction of digital instrumentation.
- Oversee hardware development projects from concept to production, ensuring timelines and deliverables are met while maintaining high quality.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., firmware, software, and mechanical engineering) to ensure alignment and smooth project execution.
- Provide regular updates to senior management on project status, risks, and mitigation strategies.
- Collaborate on schedule development and resource planning, supporting timely project delivery
- Identify areas for improvement in hardware design, testing, and manufacturing processes, and implement best practices to enhance product quality and engineering efficiency.
- Stay current with emerging hardware technologies, industry trends, and testing methodologies, and apply them to improve team capabilities and product offerings.
- Ensure that products meet or exceed customer requirements, industry standards, and regulatory compliance.
- Troubleshoot and resolve hardware-related issues in collaboration with the quality assurance and operations teams.
Must Have:
- 10+ years of hands-on experience in hardware engineering, with a strong background in digital circuit instrument design.
- 5+ years in a leadership role, ideally in a player/coach capacity requiring both technical contribution and team lead.
- Strong understanding of electrical and electronic principles, circuit design, and signal integrity.
- Experience with hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, etc.).
- Knowledge of industry standards and best practices related to hardware design, testing, and quality assurance.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to manage teams, collaborate cross-functionally, and communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- Excellent problem-solving abilities and a proactive approach to challenges
- Ability to balance multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment while maintaining high standards of work.
- Experience with high-speed PCB design and complex multi-layer designs.
- Strong understanding of SERDES technology and protocols (e.g., PCIe, 100G Ethernet).
