What enables us to operate effectively is not just technical capability, but how we work - with ownership, clarity, and disciplined execution.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Hardware Engineer who wants to move beyond isolated board design and validation to work on real-world systems where hardware directly shapes product performance.

You will work across the full hardware lifecycle - from translating measurement architecture into circuit design, to PCB implementation, validation, and system level debugging - helping define how our devices perform in real-world environments.

Your work will directly impact:

• Measurement accuracy
• Signal integrity and system performance
• Reliability of products used by athletes globally

If you are hands-on, enjoy solving complex problems across hardware, firmware and system constraints, and thrive in building systems that perform outside controlled lab environments, this role will be a strong fit.

What You Will Do

Hardware Design & Development

• Design and develop optimized hardware systems from concept to production
• Perform schematic capture, PCB Layout and component selection
• Create and maintain schematics, PCB libraries, and Bill of Materials
• Ensure design decisions are well documented and aligned with system requirements

Validation & Performance Optimization

• Develop and execute hardware validation plans, test cases, and procedures
• Perform functional and performance testing across hardware components and subsystems ( PCBs, ICs, connectors, power systems)
• Debug issues, resolve defects, and continuously improve hardware performance
• Ensure compliance with design specifications and industry standards

Cross Functional Engineering & System Delivery

• Work closely with Firmware, Mechanical, NPI, Manufacturing and Algorithm teams to ensure system alignment across hardware and product requirements
• Drive hardware readiness for production by ensuring designs are validated, documented, and compliant with regulatory standards (FCC, CE, EMC, Safety)
• Contribute to delivering reliable, production-ready hardware systems that perform consistently in real-world environments.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering or related field
• 6+ years of experience in hardware design, validation, and optimization across full product life cycles
• Proven Experience in High Speed Digital board design (eg DDR, PCIe, USC, MIPI, LVDS)
• Experience in Analog Circuit Design & Simulation
• Experience in RF and Radar design
• Experience in developing complex CPU and FPGA based hardware systems
• Experience in SW Tools such as Altium Designer(preferred), PADS PCB, Allegro, ORCAD
• Experience in Microsoft Office package, JIRA & Confluence
• Strong knowledge of hardware testing methodologies, tools, and equipment
• Proven experience with lab equipment, such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers and signal generators
• Familiarity with industry standards and protocols, such as MIPI CSI-2, USB, HDMI, LVDS & Ethernet
• Knowledge of regulatory requirements, compliance testing and certification processes, such as FCC, CE, EMC and Safety.
• Experience in logic design for FPGA using VHDL/Verilog is a plus
• Strong problem-solving ability with a systems-thinking approach
• Ability to work in a dynamic environment with good communication and interpersonal skills
