Digital Hardware Engineer to design, develop, and improve digital hardware for embedded control platforms to deliver reliable hardware meeting specification, safety, and quality standards.
Responsible for circuit and PCB design, verification, and clear documentation.
Create and update schematics and printed circuit boards for embedded digital control systems.
Select components, manage constraints, and drive design for manufacture (DFM) and design for test (DFT) practices.
Lead peer reviews for schematics, PCB layout, and design outputs.
Design microcontroller I/O, logic level signal conditioning, and serial communication buses (SPI, I2C, UART).
Collaborate with firmware engineers to define interfaces, timing, and board bring up procedures.
Plan and execute board level validation, functional tests, and environmental/EMC pre compliance checks.
Analyze test results, troubleshoot issues, and implement corrective actions to meet third party regulatory and safety standards.
Resolve build issues and implement engineering changes with manufacturing.
Support release to production, including first article review and sustaining improvements.
Produce clear, production ready documentation: BOMs, cost estimates, interface specifications, and revision notes.
Maintain accurate revision control and change documentation throughout the product lifecycle.
