Senior Hardware Design Engineer

Melbourne, FL | Full Time | $130k-$175k

Company & Role

An established engineering company is seeking a Senior Hardware Design Engineer to join its product development team, designing complex electronics for safety-critical systems.

This is a hardware-focused position combining schematic and PCB design with hands-on FPGA experience. The role will primarily focus on complex digital and mixed-signal hardware, with some FPGA design and development responsibilities.

What You Will Work On

• Design schematics for complex, multilayer PCBs, potentially up to 12 layers
• Develop digital and mixed-signal electronics, with a stronger focus on digital design
• Work with FPGA-based hardware and develop or modify FPGA logic
• Design and implement digital interfaces and protocols such as SPI
• Develop signal-conditioning circuitry and basic power-sequencing solutions
• Support component selection, board bring-up, testing, debugging, and validation
• Troubleshoot hardware and FPGA-level issues in the lab
• Support designs throughout the full product lifecycle, from initial concept through to production
• Collaborate with firmware, software, mechanical, manufacturing, and test engineering teams

What We Are Looking For

• Strong experience in electronic hardware and schematic design
• Experience designing complex, multilayer digital or mixed-signal PCBs
• Practical FPGA experience beyond solely integrating existing IP blocks
• VHDL experience would be desirable
• Experience with digital interfaces and communication protocols
• Comfortable with board bring-up, testing, debugging, and hardware validation
• PADS Logic or Siemens Xpedition experience would be advantageous, although experience with similar tools will be considered
• Experience within aerospace, automotive, medical devices, rail, defence, or another complex engineering environment would be beneficial
• This is not a power electronics position, although basic power-sequencing experience would be useful

The company offers a strong work-life balance, an annual bonus, 401(k) match, medical benefits, and stock options.
