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

Own the full hardware development lifecycle, taking designs from initial concept through to production release

Select components and perform schematic capture and PCB layout for optimized, production-ready hardware

Create and manage PCB libraries and Bills of Materials, maintaining accuracy and consistency throughout the project lifecycle

Document design decisions clearly and ensure they remain traceable to system requirements at every stage of development

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, etc)

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
