About the role
- We are seeking an experienced "schematic architect" to fill a critical gap on our Dublin-based hardware team.
- This is a senior role with a high degree of autonomy, focusing on the early, conceptual stages of electronic design and front-end architecture.
Responsibilities
- Lead the schematic design and capture for new and existing hardware platforms, primarily using Cadence OrCAD.
- Own the front-end hardware architecture, including component research, selection, and block-level system design.
- Design, simulate (SPICE), and validate robust analogue and power supply circuits (SMPS, DC-DC, LDOs) to ensure system reliability.
- Collaborate closely with and review the work of PCB layout engineers to ensure your design intent is correctly implemented, guaranteeing signal and power integrity.
- Define and execute Design Verification Testing (DVT) plans to ensure products meet stringent performance and compliance standards.
- Perform hands-on debugging, testing, and root-cause analysis of hardware prototypes in the lab.
- Compile and manage accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) and support the transition from design to manufacturing.
Requirements
- A minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in electronic product design, with a demonstrated focus on system-level architecture.
- Deep, proven expertise in schematic design and capture for complex digital and analogue systems.
- Proven experience with analogue, power supply (SMPS, LDO), and circuit protection design.
- Proficiency with a high-end ECAD toolchain (Cadence Allegro/OrCAD preferred) and circuit simulation tools (e.g., PSpice, LTspice).
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
- Exceptional communication skills and a collaborative mindset, with a proven ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
Preferred qualifications
- A strong appreciation for PCB layout best practices, including high-speed signal integrity and power integrity principles.
- Experience with high-speed digital design (e.g., x86 architectures, DDR, PCIe).
- Experience working in the defense, networking, or high-reliability hardware sectors.
- Working knowledge of Linux environments.
- Familiarity with designing for electrical and environmental compliance (e.g., CE, FCC, RoHS, REACH).
Benefits
- Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees supporting health, recovery, and whatever comes next
- Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full-time offers
