Senior Electrical Engineer – Advanced Hardware Design

Are you passionate about designing the electronics that power cutting-edge communication systems?

We're looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the development of advanced electronic hardware for next-generation satellite communication products. You'll take ownership of complex board-level designs, working across high-speed digital, power electronics, and mixed-signal circuitry from concept through production.

This is a highly technical, hands-on engineering role where you'll collaborate with RF, Mechanical, Firmware and Manufacturing teams to deliver innovative products used around the world.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Design complex electrical hardware from concept through production.
  • Develop high-speed digital, mixed-signal and power circuitry for advanced communication systems.
  • Design switching power supplies, power distribution networks and power management circuits.
  • Create schematics, perform circuit analysis and support PCB layout activities.
  • Perform board bring-up, debugging, validation and root cause analysis using laboratory equipment.
  • Validate signal integrity, power integrity and overall hardware performance.
  • Support design verification, manufacturing, qualification testing and product release.
  • Work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to solve complex hardware challenges.
  • Drive continuous improvements in performance, reliability and manufacturability.
What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years' experience designing complex electronic hardware.
  • Strong experience designing switch-mode power supplies, DC-DC converters or power management circuits
    .
  • Experience with high-speed digital and mixed-signal hardware.
  • Strong schematic capture and circuit design experience.
  • Experience supporting PCB layout and working closely with PCB designers.
  • Hands-on board bring-up, debugging and validation experience.
  • Experience using oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, logic analysers and other laboratory equipment.
  • Knowledge of signal integrity, power integrity and EMI/EMC fundamentals.
  • Experience with interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, DDR or PCIe is desirable.
  • Proficiency with Cadence OrCAD/Allegro, Altium or similar ECAD tools.
Nice to Have
  • Satellite Communications, Aerospace or Defence experience.
  • Power electronics or high-power hardware design.
  • RF hardware exposure.
  • Manufacturing, DFM/DFA and production support experience.
Why Join?

You'll play a pivotal role in developing the next generation of satellite communication technology, working on technically challenging hardware alongside a world-class engineering team. If you enjoy solving complex engineering problems, taking ownership of designs, and seeing your work progress from concept to production, we'd love to hear from you.
