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. 

The position:

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 testing 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.

What you’ll be doing: 

• 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 specifications.
• 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!

What You Bring To Our Team:

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
• Experience with schematics capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer.
• Experience with components selection for new designs.
• Design and routing of low speed serial communications as RS422, RS232, SPI, I2C, CAN...

• Familiarity with low noise power supply circuits (DC-DC and linear regulators).
• Knowledge of AMD-Xilinx FPGAs and SoCs.
• Testing and troubleshooting experience using basic equipment such as network analyzers, spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes. 
• Minimal experience required: 2 years.
• Good written and communication skills in English.

Desirable skills. The company will positively consider knowledge and experience working with: 

• High speed and low noise PCB layout:

• Stack-up design.
• Impedance calculations and routing rules definition.

• Design and routing of analog and RF circuits:

• Conditioning of sensors signals.
• Front-end systems design.
• Communications RF circuitry design.

• Design and routing of high-speed digital circuits (10G Ethernet, PCIe, DDRx memories...)
• Design and routing of mixed analog-digital circuits:

• High-speed DAC and ADC acquisition systems.
  

• PSpice, S-Parameters and IBIS simulation.
• Knowledge of EMI and EMC design considerations.

The keys of our offer:

• Be part of a leading and expanding company.
• Health insurance.
• Flexible work schedule.
• International and dynamic environment in Granada, Spain.
• High possibilities to grow inside the company.

• Professional Career Plan.
