About the Role
As a Hardware Engineer, you will contribute to the design, development, and verification (pre-validation) of automotive electronic hardware with a focus on high-speed digital interfaces, RF integration, signal integrity, and EMC, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver robust and compliant products.
What You Will Do
Design electronic schematics and support multi-layer PCB layout development for automotive applications.
Support the integration of high-speed interfaces (USB, Automotive Ethernet, video) and RF technologies (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS) following industry and chipset design guidelines.
Apply signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC design principles throughout schematic and PCB development.
Analyze EMC requirements, perform simulations and risk assessments, and support EMC concept development.
Set up, execute, and evaluate hardware verification and EMC tests using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and near-field probes, EMC chamber.
Perform root-cause analysis of hardware and EMC issues and implement corrective actions.
Collaborate with hardware, mechanical, system, and validation engineers to resolve technical challenges.
Create and maintain engineering documentation, including BOMs, test reports, design reviews, FMEAs, and release documentation.
What You Need to Be Successful
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Telecommunications, or a related field.
2–3 years of hands-on experience in electronic hardware development; automotive experience is a plus.
Understanding of high-speed digital and RF design concepts, including controlled impedance, differential pairs, transmission lines, antenna integration, and wireless technologies.
Basic knowledge of EMC principles and automotive EMC standards (e.g., CISPR 25).
Experience with professional ECAD tools such as Siemens/Mentor Xpedition, Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or OrCAD.
Familiarity with simulation tools such as SPICE and electromagnetic field solvers (e.g., ANSYS HFSS).
Ability to read, analyze, and troubleshoot electronic schematics and PCB layouts.
Good communication skills in English
Bonus Points if You Have
Simulation Tools: Spice, 3D solver alike (i.e. ANSYS HFSS)
Knowledge of automotive communication interfaces (CAN, LIN, Ethernet, USB, SPI, I²C)
Understanding of EMC fundamentals and automotive EMC standards (e.g. CISPR 25, ISO 11452, ISO 7637, IEC 61000‑x)
