Job description

We are seeking a Digital Hardware Engineer to join our hardware team and transform complex concepts into reliable, high-performance products. In this role, you will help develop advanced satellite communication products used in demanding maritime and mission-critical environments.

At Cobham Satcom, we are at the forefront of maritime safety communication and satellite communication equipment delivering innovative solutions that ensure the highest standards of quality and reliability. This role is based at our headquarters near DTU in Kgs. Lyngby and is a hub of creativity and technical expertise.

About the Job

As our new hardware engineer, you will take technical ownership throughout the entire hardware development lifecycle — from design to production and ongoing yield optimization. The position requires a solid understanding of embedded hardware design based on microcontrollers, and communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, and Ethernet and the high-speed design rules that follows. You will become part of a cross-functional R&D environment, working closely with embedded software and mechanical engineers to develop robust, reliable, and production-ready solutions.

Your primary responsibilities:

• End-to-End Product Lifecycle: Follow products from initial requirement definitions to manufacturing hand-over and subsequent yield optimization.
• Design & Schematics: Design digital systems and schematic diagrams.
• Design Simulation: Execute high-speed design and perform signal and power integrity analyses.
• Lab Testing & Validation: Lead prototype bring-up, debug using oscilloscopes, and prepare designs for EMC compliance.

Who Are You?

We are looking for a dedicated engineer with a background in Electronic Engineering (B.Sc., M.Sc., or equivalent) or in a related field, who is genuinely energized by solving complex digital hardware challenges.

We look for a profile who:

• Is highly familiar with CAD tools, as our primary design platform is Cadence Allegro.
• Understands high-speed design rules, embedded design (microcontrollers) and bus communication (SPI, I2C, Ethernet).
• Has an analytical mindset focused on manufacturing readiness, testability (DFT), and production yield.
• Works systematically in the lab and maintains precise documentation of test results.

What We Offer

At Cobham Satcom, we offer a high-tech work environment where ideas quickly turn into reality.

You will get:

• The opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology, that helps safeguard and connect people across the world
