Hardware Engineer

KRUSH TECH AS; Oslo; On-site; NOK 850,000 - 1,100,000; Full time

Job summary

KRUSH TECH AS is seeking a Hardware Engineer in Oslo to steer the hardware lifecycle from concept to prototype testing. You will design digital, analog and power circuits, develop schematics, and drive PCB layout while collaborating with RF, software and mechanical teams.

The role demands hands-on hardware bring-up, robust understanding of PCB manufacturing (DFM/DFT) and experience with Altium Designer or Cadence Allegro.

Qualifications

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics or a related field.
• Experience designing digital, analog and power circuits and PCBs.
• Experience with Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro or similar.
• Understanding of interfaces like SPI, UART, I²C, CAN, USB, Ethernet.
• Experience using lab equipment like oscilloscopes and spectrum analysers.
• Challenging work across analog, digital, power, RF and high-speed electronics.
• Significant technical ownership and influence over hardware design decisions.
• Hands-on access to prototypes and laboratory equipment.
• Opportunity to work on new designs rather than maintaining existing hardware.

Responsibilities

• Design digital, analog and power supply circuits, including integration into RF systems.
• Develop schematics, select components and define hardware architectures.
• Coordinate and contribute to PCB layout and routing.
• Perform circuit calculations and component placement, including connectors and interfaces.
• Design PCBs according to DFM and DFT principles.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers on thermal management and shielding.
• Support hardware development from concept through testing and production.
• Bring up and debug prototype hardware in the lab.
• Identify design issues, investigate root causes and implement improvements.
• Perform hardware measurements and validation using laboratory equipment.
• Work with suppliers and manufacturing partners as needed.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including schematics, BOMs and hardware specs.

Hardware Engineer

The Role

You will be involved throughout the hardware development lifecycle, working closely with electronics, RF, software and mechanical engineers.

You will have the opportunity to work across digital and analog electronics, power electronics, PCB design, high-speed interfaces and RF integration, while being directly involved in bringing new hardware to life.

Key Responsibilities

Design digital, analog and power supply circuits, including their integration into RF systems

Develop schematics, select components and define hardware architectures

Coordinate and contribute to PCB layout and routing

Perform circuit calculations and component placement, including connectors, indicators and other system interfaces

Design PCBs according to DFM and DFT principles

Work closely with mechanical engineers on thermal management, shielding and mechanical integration

Support hardware development from initial concept through prototype, testing and production

Bring up and debug prototype hardware in the laboratory

Identify design issues, investigate root causes and implement improvements

Perform hardware measurements and validation using laboratory equipment

Work with suppliers and manufacturing partners where required

Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including schematics, BOMs and hardware specifications

What We Are Looking For

You have a strong foundation in electronics engineering and enjoy working on complex hardware where performance and reliability matter.

You have:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics or a related field

Strong practical experience designing digital, analog and power circuits

Experience developing complex electronic hardware and PCBs

Solid understanding of PCB manufacturing and DFM/DFT principles

Experience with Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro or similar

Good understanding of hardware interfaces such as SPI, UART, I²C, CAN, USB, Ethernet and LVDS

Experience using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers and logic analysers

Strong understanding of PCB layout principles and best practices

Experience with hardware bring-up, debugging and prototype validation

Experience with the following is an advantage:

Signal integrity analysis and simulation

EMC/EMI compliance and testing

High-speed interfaces such as PCIe, USB 3.x and LVDS

High-speed digital design and challenging signal-integrity environments

Why This Opportunity?

This is not a role where you design a small part of an established product and hand it over to someone else.

You will be involved in the journey from circuit concept → schematic → PCB → prototype → laboratory testing → debugging → optimisation.

You will work on hardware where performance, size, power consumption, signal integrity and reliability all matter — and where solving one problem can require you to look across the entire system.

You can expect:

Challenging work across analog, digital, power, RF and high-speed electronics

Significant technical ownership and influence over hardware design decisions

Hands-on access to prototypes and laboratory equipment

Close collaboration with engineers across hardware, software, RF and mechanical disciplines

The opportunity to work on new designs rather than simply maintain existing hardware

A technically ambitious environment where good engineering ideas are encouraged

The chance to develop solutions that move from schematic to functioning hardware
