hardware engineer

External Job Description

PULSE NOVA, the joint venture between EDGE and INDRA, is seeking a skilled Hardware Engineer to support the development of advanced radar systems and mission-critical electronic solutions.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop electronic hardware assemblies for radar subsystems, including analog, digital, mixed-signal, power conditioning, control, synchronization, and high-speed interface circuitry.
• Translate system and subsystem requirements into robust hardware architectures, schematics, component selections, interface definitions, and design documentation.
• Support PCB layout activities, ensuring signal integrity, power integrity, thermal performance, EMC/EMI compliance, manufacturability, and testability.
• Perform hardware bring-up, functional verification, debugging, and root-cause analysis using standard laboratory instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and logic analyzers.
• Collaborate with RF, antenna, FPGA, embedded software, mechanical, and systems engineering teams to ensure proper electrical, functional, thermal, and mechanical integration of hardware assemblies.
• Define and execute verification, validation, qualification, and environmental test activities in line with program, customer, and regulatory requirements.
• Support design reviews, configuration control, non-conformance investigations, and implementation of corrective and preventive actions throughout the product lifecycle.
• Contribute to industrialization and production support activities, including design improvements, component obsolescence management, failure analysis, and continuous enhancement of product reliability and documentation quality.
  
  

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Eng., Electrical Eng., or related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in hardware design and development of electronic products in industrial, aerospace, defense, or other high-reliability environments.
• Solid background in analog and digital electronics, schematic capture, component selection, board-level design, and hardware debugging.
• Hands-on experience with laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators, logic analyzers, and programmable power supplies.
• Familiarity with PCB development processes, high-speed design constraints, EMC/EMI considerations, and design for manufacturing / design for test principles.
• Experience producing structured technical documentation, verification procedures, test reports, and engineering change documentation.
• Knowledge of hardware interfaces and embedded system integration is highly valued.
• Experience in radar, RF, communications, aerospace, or mission-critical electronic systems is considered a strong plus.
