Senior Hardware Design Engineer (Schematic & Systems Focus)
Job Summary
About The Team
The Voyager team at Anduril Industries is an engineering and design division with vast experience in developing innovative computing and communications solutions for the network edge. We specialize in integrating enterprise networking capabilities from global IT leaders with purpose-built hardware and software platforms designed to meet the most stringent environmental requirements.
About The Role: The Schematic Architect
We are seeking an experienced schematic architect to fill a critical gap on our Dublin-based hardware team. To be clear this is not a generalist hardware position. We are looking for a design leader whose primary passion and expertise lie in the early conceptual stages of electronic design.
Think of this role as the architect who creates the blueprint (the schematic) rather than the builder who implements the physical layout (the PCB). While we value an understanding of the entire hardware lifecycle your core mission will be to own the front-end design create robust schematics and make critical architectural decisions for our next generation of products.
This is a senior role with a high degree of autonomy and we are open to shaping the position around the right person. You will have the opportunity to take design ownership of a key new project scheduled to kick off later this year.
What Youll Do
- 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.
Required Qualifications
- 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. This is the most critical skill for this role.
- 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).
- Bachelors or Masters 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.
Preferred Qualifications
- 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).
