Technology/Equipment: * Familiarity with Altium or OrCAD/Cadence design tools (CIS Schematic Capture, Allegro / PCB Editor, PSPICE). * The role involves designing robust electronics for off-highway vehicles, construction equipment, and some military applications, requiring survival in extreme conditions like -40 C to +85 C and high vibration.- MUST have this., * Strong foundation in embedded systems hardware design with hands-on experience in analog and digital circuit design, power electronics, microprocessors/microcontrollers (MPU/MCU), and wired/wireless communication technologies (e.g., CAN, LIN, Ethernet, Bluetooth, etc.). Does NOT need direct Firmware developers, just a foundation. He has Firmware Engineers handling that. * Proficient in reading, interpreting, and evaluating electronic component datasheets for design selection and validation. * Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex hardware and system-level issues, with a track record of delivering effective and timely solutions. * Strong problem-solving skills, capable of identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions using data-driven approaches. * Proficient with hardware design tools including schematic capture, PCB layout, and circuit simulation. * Ability to set up and utilize common test equipment (e.g. power supplies, multi-meters, oscilloscopes, etc.) * Proficient with using revision control software. * Investigate and resolve field and production issues by executing structured root cause analysis methodologies such as 8D, 5-Why, and fishbone diagrams, support failure analysis, and resolution of returned material. * Partner with Manufacturing Engineering to support DFM initiatives and transition new designs to production, optimizing for quality, yield, and cost-effectiveness. * looking for candidates with deep technical expertise in electronics design, specifically experience with high-density PCBs (12-14 layers), BGA components, worst-case analysis, component derating, and DFMEA. ## Description * Lead and collaborate with cross-functional development teams to drive products from requirements definition through system architecture, detailed design, integration, validation, and production release. * Conduct detailed design reviews and provide critical technical input to ensure compliance with engineering best practices and design robustness across electrical and mechanical domains. * Design and develop robust, reliable electronic circuits and assemblies for harsh automotive and off-highway environments, including power distribution, sensor interfaces, and control modules. * Perform schematic capture and oversee PCB layout, ensuring DFM, DFT, and signal integrity considerations are met. ## Related Videos - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Tour de Force: Open-Source LLM Inference Optimization from Simple to Sophisticated](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100099-tour-de-force-open-source-llm-inference-optimization-from-simple-to-sophisticated) - [How to Domain Model – An example from manufacturing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/742-how-to-domain-model-an-example-from-manufacturing) - [The best of two worlds - Bringing enterprise-grade Linux to the vehicle](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/67-the-best-of-two-worlds-bringing-enterprise-grade-linux-to-the-vehicle) ## Related Articles - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk)
