 * Experience with formal PLM systems or implementing PLM workflows in a growing organization
 * Experience in a startup or small-team environment

## Description

We're looking for a Senior Hardware Engineer who can contribute to system architecture and independently drive board-level designs from concept through validation, manage vendor interactions, and contribute to robust product development processes.

What You'll Do

 * Lead the end-to-end hardware design cycle: architecture input, schematic capture, PCB layout oversight (Altium), bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting
 * Design mixed-signal hardware systems spanning high-speed digital, analog, power management, and wireless/radio subsystems
 * Perform hands-on board bring-up, debugging, and lab characterization using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators, power supplies, and other test equipment
 * Troubleshoot system-level issues involving power integrity, signal integrity, interference, spurious emissions, and radio performance
 * Own prototype builds, BOM management, and vendor coordination with PCB fabrication and assembly partners; drive DFM/DFT reviews to ensure design robustness, reliability, and manufacturability
 * Support FCC/CE regulatory compliance activities and pre-compliance testing
 * Establish and improve hardware lifecycle processes, including BOM governance, revision control, engineering change orders (ECOs), component management, and documentation practices
 * Own hardware development activities independently from prototype through production
