Senior Hardware Design Engineer

Senior Hardware Design Engineer

Huntsville, AL

The Company


Join a global leader in rugged embedded computing solutions serving some of the world's most demanding defense, aerospace, industrial, and commercial applications. With a strong reputation for high-performance, open-architecture computing, the organization develops advanced electronics designed to operate reliably in mission-critical environments.

The Huntsville engineering organization works on sophisticated embedded computing platforms used across air, land, and sea defense programs, as well as high-reliability industrial applications.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Work on advanced Single Board Computers (SBCs), FPGA/DSP carrier boards, sensor processing modules, and I/O products
• Design next-generation hardware using Intel and ARM processors, DDR4/DDR5, FPGAs, MPSoCs, and RFSoCs
• Develop high-speed digital architectures involving PCIe and multi-Gigabit Ethernet
• Take technical ownership of complex hardware programs from architecture and design through board bring-up, validation, and production release
• Collaborate with experienced hardware, FPGA, software, systems, product management, manufacturing, and program teams
• Have the opportunity to influence product architecture, engineering processes, emerging technologies, and best practices
• Join a Huntsville engineering organization working on technology where performance, reliability, and ruggedization are critical

They Value and Appreciate Their Employees


This is an opportunity to join an engineering-driven organization where senior engineers are trusted with significant technical ownership and are encouraged to bring forward new ideas and approaches.


Your Role with the Company


As a Senior Hardware Design Engineer, you will serve as a senior technical contributor and design authority for complex embedded hardware programs. You will design, develop, test, debug, and support advanced electronic systems while working with a high degree of independence. You will design digital hardware incorporating Intel and ARM-based processors, DDR memory, FPGAs, MPSoCs, and RFSoCs, along with high-speed interfaces such as DDR4/DDR5, PCIe, and multi-Gigabit Ethernet.
