At a glance

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.

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.

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.

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).

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
