Senior Mixed Digital & RF​/Microwave Electronics Design Engineer

We are seeking a senior engineer to design high-performance embedded products combining RF/microwave, analog, and high-speed digital circuitry, based around AMD Versal RF and adaptive SoC platforms. The role is hands-on, spans the full product lifecycle, and requires a broad skillset. This includes expertise in RF/analog design (e.G. Impedance matching, simulation, and lab validation) combined with experience in high-speed digital PCB design (e.G. DDR5, 200G ethernet, and PCIe Gen6) and the ability to merge these varied disciplines into a dense multilayer PCB while accounting for the associated power and signal integrity challenges.

In addition to electronics design, the role involves: hardware bring-up, characterisation, FPGA design, creating software for validation, supporting production, and customer communications.

• Design and develop mixed-signal PCBs combining RF/analog (to ~18 GHz) with high-speed digital interfaces (e.G. DDR5, SERDES) around AMD FPGA platforms.
• Perform RF design and simulation (e.G. Matching networks, transmission lines, baluns) and validate designs using simulation and lab equipment (3D EM simulation, VNA, spectrum analyser, signal generator).
• Take ownership of board-level design from schematic through layout support, bring-up, and characterisation.
• Work closely with PCB layout engineers on high-density, multilayer designs with tight signal and power integrity requirements.
• Debug and diagnose hardware issues at board and system level, including RF performance, high-speed interfaces, and power-related problems.
• Develop FPGA designs and software tools (e.G. Vivado, TCL, Python) to support hardware validation and test.
• Develop and execute comprehensive test plans, test cases, and validation procedures for hardware prototypes and production units.
• Collaborate with firmware, software, and mechanical teams to deliver complete, systems.
• Support production and customer-facing activities, including issue investigation and technical documentation.

• US Citizen.
• Bachelor's, Master's degree, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in board-level hardware design with a strong focus on analog/RF.
• Proficiency with simulation, schematic capture, and PCB layout tools (Client ADS, OrCAD CIS, and Cadence Allegro).
• Demonstrated experience with analog RF and high-speed digital design principles, including signal integrity and power integrity considerations.
• Experience with hardware testing, debugging, and validation using lab equipment (VNA, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc).
• Excellent problem-solving skills and a meticulous attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a cross-functional team environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• 15+ years of experience in analog and digital hardware design.
• Strong understanding of Direct RF FPGA architectures, development flows, and design techniques (VHDL/Verilog).
• Previous design experience with AMD RFSoC Experience with AMD FPGA devices and associated development tools (e.G., Vivado and Vitis).
• Experience with x86 and ARM processing architectures.
• Knowledge of industry standards such as VPX, PCIe, DDRx, Ethernet, and various communication protocols.
• Experience in designing for harsh environments, including ruggedized (e.G., aerospace and defense).
• Experience with scripting languages (e.G., Python, Tcl, windows batch) for automation of design and test flows.
• Experience supporting products through the entire lifecycle, from concept to end-of-life.

• A competitive salary based on experience starting at $130, 000 and a comprehensive benefits package.
• Opportunities to work on cutting-edge technologies and challenging projects that make a real impact.
• A collaborative and supportive work environment with a focus on continuous learning and professional growth.
• Exposure to diverse and high-demand markets including high-performance computing, aerospace, and defense.
• The chance to be part of a company with a long-standing reputation for innovation and excellence.
