Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Hardware Engineer to lead the design and development of cutting-edge radar systems operating at 60GHz and 77GHz. This role is ideal for someone with deep expertise in RF and high-speed digital hardware design, and a passion for building innovative products from concept to mass production.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of hardware projects for 60GHz and 77GHz radar systems.

• Design high-frequency RF PCBs and high-speed digital board layouts for complex embedded systems.

• Optimize PCB designs for noise reduction and signal integrity.

• Manage the full hardware lifecycle from prototyping to mass production, including collaboration with contract manufacturers.

• Design and simulate RF elements such as antennas, transmission lines, and waveguides.

• Perform full-module modeling and simulation using tools like Ansys HFSS to evaluate and optimize performance.

• Conduct radar system link budget analysis and performance validation.

• Contribute to hardware development processes in compliance with functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262).

• Collaborate with firmware and software teams; support debugging of hardware-related issues.

• Apply basic embedded software knowledge and interface protocols (SPI, I2C, CSI-2, Ethernet).

• Communicate effectively across teams and contribute to project planning and execution.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

• 5+ years of experience in RF and high-speed digital hardware design.

• Proficiency in PCB design tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence).

• Experience with RF simulation tools (e.g., HFSS, ADS).

• Strong understanding of signal integrity, EMI/EMC, and thermal management.

• Experience with radar systems or other high-frequency applications is a plus.

• Familiarity with embedded systems and interface protocols.

• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills.
