Xirgo Technologies offers a complete portfolio of proprietary supply chain monitoring and management technology to convert IoT data from information to insights — enabling the smartest telematics data analytics solutions.
About the role
* As a Hardware Engineer, you will work with cross-functional development teams, focused on device hardware development for highly-engineered IoT devices. These devices incorporate multiple technologies such as cellular, low-power wireless, wired interfaces and battery management. The devices interact closely with our back-end cloud systems for device management and data flow, to create an end-to-end solution which solves our customers’ problems.
What you'll do
* Lead the design, development, and testing of hardware for new products, focusing on digital, analog and mixed-signal circuit design.
* Create high quality, reliable circuit designs using industry standard tools e.g. Altium.
* Oversee the creation of PCB layouts, ensuring signal integrity, power integrity and manufacturability.
* Conduct simulation and perform hands-on testing and troubleshooting of prototypes to validate designs.
* Lead the effort to validate hardware designs through debugging and interation, ensuring they meet performance, cost and quality targets.
* Work closely with other engineers (firmware, mechanical, systems design) to ensure that hardware integrate seamlessly with overall product architecture.
* Lead and mentor junior engineers, managing timelines and ensuring that deliverables meet design and functional requirements.
* Produce detailed documentation for design specifications, test procedures and manufacturing processes.
* Provide support during manufacturing and after-product-launch phases, addressing hardware issues, conducting failure analysis, and implementing design improvements.
* Stay up to date with the latest trends in hardware development, including emerging technologies, components and industry best practices.
* Ensure compliance with technical procedures, documentation and manuals.
* Determine feasibility from technical and economic perspectives.
