Full-Time Permanent
ABOUT THE COMPANY:
The client is a well-established, publicly traded Canadian technology company with over 35 years in operation and offices across Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia. They are a global leader in designing and manufacturing advanced hardware and software platforms that power the next generation of high-speed internet, broadband access networks, and video streaming infrastructure for major telecommunications providers worldwide.
Their engineering teams build the physical technology that makes faster, more reliable internet possible — from the circuit boards and chips that process data, all the way through to the software platforms that manage network performance ir products are used by some of the world's largest cable and internet providers.
They operate with an open, collaborative, and innovative culture where engineers have real technical ownership, long product life cycles, and meaningful engineering challenges. The team is stable, experienced, and deeply invested in their craft. This is not a startup — it is an established, financially sound organization with a strong roadmap and genuine career growth opportunities.
WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS:
This position is back filling a 40-year industry veteran who has spent 25 years with the company. The bar is high — and the opportunity is significant. The successful candidate will step into a role with real influence, real ownership, and real impact on the products that power broadband networks globally.
ABOUT THE ROLE:
This is a senior, hands‑on technical leadership role focused on digital hardware board design — from early architecture all the way through to manufacturing. You will own complex circuit board designs end‑to‑end, working across a cross‑functional engineering team that includes firmware developers, software engineers, mechanical engineers, and test specialists.
This is not a management role. There are no direct reports, no timesheets, and no performance evaluations. This is purely technical — you will be the most senior engineering voice on the hardware design side, guiding junior engineers and providing technical oversight throughout the full product lifecycle.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
Define digital hardware architecture for complex, multi‑layer networking platforms
Select and integrate programmable chips, processors, memory systems, and high‑speed interfaces
Make key component selections in collaboration with the architecture team
Drive timing, clocking, and data‑path performance decisions
Lead high‑speed, multi‑layer circuit board design from schematic to production
Work with specialized layout technicians to guide board design execution
Partition design work to junior engineers while maintaining full technical ownership
Define routing constraints, impedance strategy, and signal quality budgets
Validation & Testing
Lead hands‑on prototype bring‑up, verification, and measurements
Oversee design verification testing with support from the testing team
Debug hardware failures and root‑cause performance issues
Support manufacturing transition and provide technical input through production phases
Available for escalated customer and manufacturing issues
Perform component substitution analysis when parts become unavailable in the supply chain
MUST‑HAVE
QUALIFICATIONS:
8+ years of experience in high‑speed digital hardware development — the more the better
Proven ownership of architecture‑level decisions on complex circuit boards
Deep experience bringing high‑speed systems from schematic to production across multiple projects
Strong working knowledge of high‑speed digital interfaces — programmable chips, processors, memory interfaces, high‑speed Ethernet
Experience with multi‑layer high‑speed circuit board design tools such as Altium, PADS, or equivalent
Hands‑on lab experience — prototype bring‑up, measurements, testing, and debugging
Ability to lead technically without formal management responsibilities
Canadian citizen or permanent residents only
Assets:
Experience with signal integrity and power integrity simulation tools
Familiarity with supply chain part substitution analysis
Home lab setup for remote bench work
Soldering…
