An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Digital Hardware Engineer to join a leading high-tech R&D team developing cutting-edge technologies. You’ll play a key role in designing highly reliable digital and mixed-signal electronics for advanced space systems, working alongside a multidisciplinary team of engineers.

You will take full ownership of the entire development lifecycle of electronic boards for phased array antennas, from initial requirements through to design, testing, and integration.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and test digital and mixed-signal electronics for space-based phased array antenna systems
  • Lead architecture definition, circuit design, component selection, PCB layout, board bring-up, and integration
  • Collaborate closely with system, antenna, RF, mechanical, and control engineering teams
  • Optimize designs for reliability, size, weight, and BOM cost
  • Produce clear technical documentation and support manufacturing processes

What We’re Looking For:

  • MSc or equivalent in Electronic Engineering or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience in high-speed digital hardware design, preferably for space applications
  • Strong knowledge of architecture definition, digital electronics, and multi-gigabit interfaces
  • Proven experience testing and verifying high-speed digital designs through to production
  • Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB design tools (Altium preferred)
  • Confident working with test equipment such as oscilloscopes and digital analysers
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and a collaborative, team-oriented approach

Desirable Skills:

  • Experience with FPGA tools (Vivado, Quartus) and hardware design languages (VHDL, Verilog)
  • Knowledge of DSP, FPGA implementations, and PCB simulation tools (Ansys SIwave)
  • Experience with microcontrollers and embedded hardware

Why Apply?
This is a fantastic opportunity to work on groundbreaking space technologies within a collaborative and innovative engineering environment, with the chance to take full technical ownership of your designs.
