Hardware Engineer

Job Title: Hardware Engineer Location: Lexington, MA Duration: 3 years Job Description: This engineer will support the development and testing of baseband hardware and PCBAs. The hardware in question is highly SWaP-C constrained and spans RF to digitization. The first 3-6 months of the role will be primarily in the lab testing and debugging existing hardware, and then the role transitions into more design work for follow-up hardware in different form factors and configurations, so a strong background in design and test are both relevant. Responsibilities: Test and debug of miniature hardware spanning RF front-end, transceivers, SoCs, baseband processors Design of communication hardware targeting miniature form-factors Writing and support of design validation and test plans Collaboration with RF engineers, software engineers, mechanical engineers, and waveform analysts Required Skills: Experience with the part selection, schematic capture, layout, and test of complex mixed-signal boards targeting SoCs or FPGAs with all relevant clocking, power, and high-rate interfaces Experience working in desktop and embedded Linux Experience with one or more scripting/embedded programming languages such as Python, C/C++, or Bash Experience with typical lab equipment including high-speed oscilloscopes, bench power supplies, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators Experience working on cross-disciplinary teams with Mechanical and RF engineers
