Digital Hardware Designer

Job description

Design at the source. Keep our hardware sharp – so every circuit board inside our radar systems performs when it counts. As our Electronics Engineer, you own how we develop the circuit boards that power our tracking systems. You work side-by-side with hardware, FPGA, software, and mechanical engineers – transforming concepts into robust, manufacturable designs from prototype through production. You balance high-speed signal requirements with real-world constraints, and you are a big part of why our customers can trust what we deliver. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Create digital printed circuit boards for embedded and high-speed electronic systems. - Build and maintain design guidelines to ensure consistent hardware quality. - Work closely with software and mechanical teams to deliver robust layouts. Team up across disciplines to ensure our hardware integrates smoothly into final production. - Formulate multilayer layouts with deep insight into signal and power integrity. - Address thermal design considerations and handle EMC or EMI constraints systematically. - Apply DFM and DFA principles to make designs ready for manufacturing. - Follow IPC standards and product classes closely to meet top industrial metrics. - Support board fabrication, assembly, and production teams from start to finish. - Apply digital testability techniques, including Boundary Scan, ICT, and FCT methods. - Create and maintain PCB libraries along with detailed manufacturing documentation. - Keep our internal schematic component and footprint databases accurate over time. WHAT YOU BRING - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or equivalent experience - 3–5 years of experience in digital PCB design - Proficient in Altium Designer for schematic capture and layout - Solid experience with multilayer and high-speed digital PCB layouts - Deep knowledge of digital interfaces like DDR, Ethernet, USB, SPI, I2C, UART, and PCIe - Strong understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, EMC/EMI, and thermal design - Familiarity with IPC standards and IPC product classes, particularly Class 2 and Class 3 - Clear insight into digital testability and production test techniques like JTAG, ICT, and FCT - Fluent English, both spoken and written, with great team collaboration skills N.B. Don't worry if you don't tick every box. Our mission is a journey, and there's plenty to learn along the way. If most of this fits, we'd love to hear from you. A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) and a background check are part of our screening process. We appreciate your understanding. WHAT WE OFFER - Working for a Great Place to Work® certified company; - Comprehensive pension plan; - Commuting allowance; - 30 days of paid holiday leave (with the possibility to buy 3 additional days); - Opportunities to develop your skills even further through training and certifications; - High quality laptop/desktop, monitor, headphones, and any other equipment necessary for your role; - An international team of 30+ nationalities, full of high performance colleagues you can exchange experiences with and learn from. As well as having a lot of fun in our social events and Friday drinks! Robin Radar is a technology leader in tracking and classifying small objects. Our radars and software help prevent bird strikes in aviation, reduce the impact of wind farms on wildlife, and protect critical infrastructure from drone threats. Our work shows up at airports, wind farms, military sites and nature reserves around the world. We're one of the top 10 fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands, with a crew of bright minds across 30+ nationalities. Growth doesn't mean we lose the plot – eyes on the skies, feet on the ground. Our values keep us grounded: WE TRUST. WE OWN IT. WE AIM HIGH. Want to work on next-level radar tech, solve real problems, and never have to pretend your job has meaning? You'll fit right in – we're saving you a seat.
