About Us

ATHEER Connectivity is a wireless technology company offering innovative solutions that bridge the digital divide and transform last-mile connectivity for telecoms and enterprises. Our products are engineered to deliver ultra high-speed wireless links eliminating the need for costly ground infrastructure.

As we continue to scale our hardware product line we re looking for a highly skilled Hardware Engineer with expertise in high-speed PCB design PoE (Power over Ethernet) circuitry and wireline signal integrity. This role is pivotal to ensuring the performance and reliability of our 60 GHz mmWave platforms and networking equipment.

Key Responsibilities

PCB Design & Development

Lead schematic capture and layout of complex multilayer PCBs for high-speed wireline interfaces (10G/25G/40G).

Design and simulate differential pairs impedance-controlled traces and high-frequency signal paths.

Develop PoE and power delivery circuitry compliant with 802.3af/at/bt standards.

Signal Integrity & Validation

Perform SI/PI simulations and coordinate board-level validation using oscilloscopes VNAs and test fixtures.

Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC standards and contribute to product certifications.

Collaborate with manufacturing partners on PCB stackups fabrication specs and assembly guidelines.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with RF mechanical and software engineers to ensure seamless hardware-software integration.

Assist in hardware bring-up system integration and field debugging.

Documentation & Reliability

Generate BOMs test procedures layout guidelines and hardware release documentation.

Contribute to design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) practices.

Bachelor s or Master s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

3 years of experience in high-speed PCB design and hardware development.
