We're looking for a Hardware Engineer to join our Hardware team in Granada, Spain.

We’re the world leader in Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (R-PNT) solutions that improve the reliability, performance and safety of critical applications, and high-risk operations, even in GPS/GNSS denied environments. We provide virtually fail-safe GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) and PNT (Positioning, Navigation and Timing) solutions for military and commercial applications worldwide.

We are looking for a Hardware Engineer who is highly motivated to work with a talented and diverse engineering team to address hardware design and system integration with software and test to deliver end customer products. As a Hardware Design Engineer, you will be an integral member of the Hardware Engineering team designing custom boards from scratch. These boards will include high-end FPGAs, SoCs, memories, DACs, ADCs, high-speed interfaces (PCIe, 10G ethernet ...), being used in high-performance and critical applications within scientific facilities such as particle accelerators. The ideal candidate for this role is someone who is able to work proactively and closely with other cross-functional engineering groups such as industrial design, product design, production test, FPGA and software engineering.

• Work with a friendly and positive team to design new high-performance electronic equipment (schematic capture and PCB layout) and sustain/support existing products.
• Test prototype designs to guarantee they meet requirements, identifying potential issues before they reach production.
• Collaborate with Software, FPGA, and Mechanical Engineers to ensure the hardware works for its intended purpose.
• Provide technical support to the Production team and ensure compliance to time frame, quality and cost targets.
• Coordinate with product development teams to perform Design for Testability (DFT) on design cycle.

• Collaborate with contract manufacturer partners to ensure timely supply of systems and devices in accordance with the specification.
• You will use your critical thinking and problem-solving skills to ensure the highest quality for the results in accordance with the allotted schedule, effort, and budget.
• You will work on international projects for scientific facilities as well as the latest and greatest in Resilient PNT and deterministic technologies.
