Hardware Engineer jobs in Norfolk, NE

Junior Digital Hardware Engineer 

The R&D department in Breda is responsible for delivering designs for audio, video, control and networking to the camera product development. Innovation lies at the heart of its activities with the goal of improving product competitiveness and overall R&D effectiveness. In a cross-functional project team, the candidate will design, simulate and test camera designs preferably re-usable and portable. The candidate will work with best of breed development tools.

The Junior Digital Hardware Engineer is part of a global organization, works in the Research and Development department and is – with colleague hardware engineers - in charge of designing complex, high quality, and highly reliable, high-end broadcast products.

With support, the Junior Digital Hardware Engineer will be working on complex designs including, but not limited to, high speed transmission (25Gbps), FPGA’s, wide memory banks (96 bits and 128 bits), power supplies (low voltage, low voltage drop, high current), (high speed) interconnections and diagnostics.

Since our designs are not 100% digital, affinity with analogue electronics (audio and video) is very welcome.

TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The primary duties/responsibilities of the Digital Hardware Engineer are:

• Working in a multi-disciplinary team, consisting of at least firmware engineers, other hardware engineers, layout engineers and mechanical engineers. This team can either reside on one location, but it can also be a multi-site (global) team.
• Performing PCBA (re)designs by selecting and requesting the proper components, schematic entry, simulations/calculations of critical parts of the PCBA design (like for instance Signal Integrity, Power Integrity et cetera, but also functional), testing, debugging, and releasing prototypes.

• Support and collaborate with various other departments (troubleshooting of problems, bug fixing, resolving customer issues et cetera).
• Maintain design documentation (specifications, test plans, test results et cetera).
• Perform unit tests and participate in product integration activities.
• Present designs to peers for review and perform peer reviews.

The secondary duties/responsibilities of the Digital Hardware Engineer are:

• Interfacing with our manufacturing department and PCBA assembly site(s).
• Continuously maintaining the expertise in the field of electronics, assembly processes, tooling et cetera.

PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

• Up to 2 years of experience with PCBA designs for high-end digital products.
• Quality-oriented and meticulous (FMEA, peer reviews, simulations, (tolerance) calculations).
• Basic knowledge of high speed, high voltage and analogue is an asset.
• Basic knowledge of PCBA assembly and testing processes is an asset.

• Basic knowledge with deployment and integration of VHDL components in a large-scale system is an asset.
• Familiarity with software configuration management tools, source code control systems and defect tracking tools is also desired.

PERSONAL QUALIFICATIONS

• Independent, proactive, and eager to learn.
• Ability to understand customer requirements.
• Capable of working under pressure.
• Strong time management skills.
• Good team spirit.
• Self-motivated.
• Communicative, flexible, and focused on working together.

EDUCATION

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in electronic engineering.
