We have an exciting Senior Hardware Design Engineer role within a leading indigenous electronics company based in Shannon, Clare. This is a full-time, permanent position and is based fully on-site in Shannon.
Role Overview:
As a Senior Hardware Engineer, you will play a key role in shaping the next generation of products, taking ownership of complex PCB designs and driving the adoption of new technologies. You will be deeply involved throughout the product development lifecycle — from early concept and architecture through schematic design, layout oversight, bring-up, and validation and get to see your product manufactured on site in Shannon.
Role Responsibilities:
- Define hardware architectures and deliver board level designs for new alarm, sensor, and gateway products.
- Lead hardware development from concept through schematic capture, PCB layout support, prototype build, bring up, and full validation.
- Design low power analogue and mixed signal circuits, including power management, DC DC converters, battery charging, and battery powered systems.
- Develop processor based embedded hardware platforms and digital circuit designs using microcontrollers and supporting peripherals.
- Integrate wireless technologies such as Zigbee, Z Wave, WiFi, and Bluetooth, ensuring reliable performance and regulatory compliance.
- Apply EMC, ESD, and EMI mitigation techniques, along with RF de-sensitisation methods, to meet global compliance standards.
- Collaborate closely with firmware and software teams on hardware drivers, system bring up, and overall system functionality.
- Support product certification, regulatory compliance testing, and manufacturing ramp-up activities.
- Ensure designs meet DFM and DFT requirements and are suitable for cost-effective, high-volume production.
- Produce clear and accurate technical documentation and actively participate in design and peer reviews.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less experienced engineers where required.
Role Requirements:
- Degree in Electronic Engineering or a related discipline.
- Extensive industry experience in hardware design and product development.
- 4+ years experience working in a manufacturing environment.
- Experience developing embedded hardware platforms and processor-based systems.Proven board-level schematic capture and PCB design experience.
