We are looking to hire a talented and hardworking Hardware Engineer to develop, design, and support our handheld network testing products. You will be responsible for designing embedded hardware sub‑systems, specifying hardware components, system troubleshooting, collaborating with software engineers, modifying existing hardware platforms to enhance functionality, and designing alternatives for hard‑to‑source or end‑of‑life components in existing products.

Design responsibilities include schematic entry and PCB layout oversight for embedded ARM CPUs and measurement subsystems; FPGA VHDL design and support for high‑speed packet processing; design of power supply and battery charging circuits; high‑speed interface design of IEEE 802.3/802.11 networking interfaces.

Join a purpose‑driven technology company that builds mission‑critical tools used by professionals worldwide. The organization combines a strong engineering culture with a practical, customer‑first mindset, offering the opportunity to work on impactful products while growing alongside a collaborative, innovation‑focused team.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES include the following. Other duties may be assigned.

• Design and develop hardware systems that include circuit boards, processors, memory subsystems, LCDs, touch screens, and high‑speed network interfaces using Cadence Allegro tools.
• Design and develop analog circuits for rechargeable batteries, low‑voltage power supplies, USB power delivery, and hardware systems for measuring resistance and power‑over‑ethernet parameters.
• Create hardware design specifications and documents for new products.
• Collaborate with software developers during board bring‑up.
• Work with PCB layout resources for placement and routing of signals to meet signal integrity requirements.
• Interact with PCB layout and manufacturing for PCB/A fabrication and testing.
• Support currently shipping products when component or product issues arise and implement design changes as needed.
• Specify new parts, vendors, and schematic part symbols as needed for new designs.
• Interface to our PLM system for specification and control of component parts and bill of materials.
• Work with component vendors for selection and preparation of detailed specifications for new components.
• Work with software, mechanical, manufacturing, and test engineers to design and release products into manufacturing.
• Understand and implement thermal management solutions based on early thermal modeling, bench testing, and chamber testing to find cost‑effective thermal solutions as needed.
• Work to extend battery life by early estimating and application of power‑reduction techniques.
• Support EMI/ESD compliance pre‑scans and testing, then use mitigating design techniques to ensure designs meet compliance criteria needed for worldwide shipping.

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

• Experience with PCB/A design for high‑speed networking interfaces and embedded CPU subsystems.
• Experience with Cadence Allegro schematic capture and PCB layout tools.
• Experience in designing embedded CPU sub‑systems.
• Knowledge of high‑speed communication bus design and layout techniques such as USB, PCIe, XFI.
• Familiarity with DDR2/DDR3 memory design, and I2C and SPI busses.
• Knowledge of various hardware debugging equipment, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers; experience with EMI and ESD compliance testing and design mitigation strategies.

• Experience with Altera and/or Xilinx VHDL and FPGA design.

• BS or higher in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or related experience. Minimum 10 years of experience.
