Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Senior Hardware Design Engineer to join our engineering team, contributing to the design and development of rugged video cards and embedded systems that operate in extreme environments. This role focuses on cutting-edge hardware development leveraging the latest NVIDIA technologies and high-performance computing platforms. The ideal candidate has a deep background in high-speed digital design, a proven track record of delivering complex hardware systems, and thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Key Responsibilities

Hardware Architecture & Development

• Lead the design and development of electronic hardware for ruggedized graphics solutions, embedded systems, and supporting subsystems.
• Own schematic capture and multilayer PCB layout using tools such as Altium Designer or OrCAD, with a focus on high-speed digital, analog, and mixed-signal design.
• Perform circuit-level analysis, signal integrity simulations, and power integrity validation.
• Evaluate and select components to meet design, performance, cost, and supply chain requirements.
• Contribute to hardware platform decisions involving microcontrollers, FPGAs, and high-performance GPUs.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Interface closely with mechanical, FPGA, software, and manufacturing teams to define technical requirements and ensure holistic system integration.
• Lead or contribute to design reviews, DFx (Design for Manufacturability, Testability, Reliability) discussions, and cross-discipline trade studies.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior engineers and review peer designs.

Validation & Support

• Drive bring-up and validation of hardware prototypes, including lab testing, functional verification, and support of environmental and compliance testing (e.g., MIL-STD-810).
• Support low-level hardware/software integration, including working knowledge of kernel-level drivers or embedded firmware.
• Provide hands-on support during transition to production, troubleshooting hardware issues across development and manufacturing stages.
• Stay current with evolving technologies and rugged computing standards; drive continuous improvement in design practices and tools.
• Contribute to IP development, design documentation, and configuration management practices in compliance with internal and industry standards (e.g., AS9100).

Qualifications

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in hardware design, preferably in ruggedized or mission-critical systems (e.g., aerospace, defense, industrial computing).

Technical Skills

• Expertise in high-speed digital design, signal integrity, and analog circuit fundamentals.
• Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (Altium Designer, OrCAD, Cadence, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with lab instrumentation for board bring-up and debug (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, VNAs).
• Familiarity with simulation tools (SPICE, HyperLynx, or similar).
• Knowledge of embedded system integration involving FPGAs, microcontrollers, and kernel-level hardware drivers.

Preferred Experience

• Background in designing for harsh environmental standards (e.g., MIL-STD-810).
• Experience with thermal, EMI/EMC, and power considerations in rugged systems.
• Exposure to quality systems such as AS9100 or ISO9001 is a plus.
• Familiarity with GPU-based systems or NVIDIA ecosystem (MODS, Jetson, etc.) is highly desirable.

What We Offer

• Ownership of high-impact projects in the rugged embedded graphics and computing domain.
• Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and flexible work arrangements.
• A fast-paced, growth-oriented environment with opportunities to innovate, lead, and shape future products.
• Collaborative culture with access to technical leadership and professional development support.
• Opportunities to work on innovative, high-impact projects with a collaborative and supportive team.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• A dynamic and fast-paced environment where your contributions directly shape the success of the product.
• Professional growth and development opportunities within a rapidly evolving organization.
