Sr Digital Hardware Engineer

HindlePower, Inc.•Easton, PA

About The Position

The Digital Hardware Engineer designs, develops, and improves digital hardware used in embedded control platforms. This role blends hands‑on circuit and PCB design with cross‑functional collaboration, rigorous verification, and clear documentation‑delivering reliable, production‑ready hardware that meets specification, safety, and quality standards.

Requirements

BS/MS in Electrical, Electronic, or Computer Engineering.
10+ years of electrical engineering experience with a focus on digital circuits.
Digital logic, embedded microcontrollers, and internal serial communications (SPI, I²C).
External communications (e.g. Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485) and protection in harsh environments.
Integrated design tools (e.g. Altium) for schematic and PCB layout.
Strong documentation habits; clear, concise communication across engineering and manufacturing teams.
Structured problem solving, ownership mindset, and attention to detail.
Exposure to project management processes.
Comfortable working in lab and manufacturing environments with high voltage and current.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with analog circuits and power electronics preferred.
Knowledge of circuit simulation tools (e.g. Plexim, Simulink, LTspice) preferred.
Knowledge of FPGA/CPLD development and HDL (e.g. VHDL, Verilog) preferred.
Knowledge of IPC-610, UL/CSA, and related compliance standards preferred.

Responsibilities

Create and update schematics and printed circuit boards for embedded digital control systems.
Select components, manage constraints, and drive design for manufacture (DFM) and design for test (DFT) practices.
Lead peer reviews for schematics, PCB layout, and design outputs.
Design microcontroller I/O, logic‑level signal conditioning, and serial communication buses (SPI, I²C, UART).
Collaborate with firmware engineers to define interfaces, timing, and board bring‑up procedures.
Plan and execute board‑level validation, functional tests, and environmental/EMC pre‑compliance checks.
Analyze test results, troubleshoot issues, and implement corrective actions to meet third‑party regulatory and safety standards.
Partner with manufacturing to resolve build issues and implement engineering changes.
Support release to production, including first article review and sustaining improvements.
Produce clear, production ready documentation: BOMs, cost estimates, interface specifications, and revision notes.
Maintain accurate revision control and change documentation throughout the product lifecycle.
Stay current with tools, components, and standards in digital hardware design, and champion process improvements.
