Senior Hardware Designer, Eindhoven

Ready to be part of something big? At KRUSH Labs, a privately owned R&D center, we push the boundaries of unmanned systems and advanced hardware. We're building next-generation platforms that fuse resilient communications, AI-driven autonomy, and precision navigation, designed to perform in the most demanding real-world environments. Join us to tackle complex challenges, turn cutting-edge research into deployed technology, and help shape the future of autonomous systems.

As a Senior Hardware Designer, you will take responsibility for project development from start to end. From understanding and communicating project requirements with stakeholders and team members, to designing and implementation. You will participate in discussions about architecture decisions, design trade-offs and implementation specific impacts.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the design of digital, analog, and power supply circuits, including system-level integration within RF devices

Analyze and define clear functional and performance requirements in collaboration with customers

Own PCB architecture and oversee layout, ensuring optimal component placement, signal integrity, and manufacturability

Perform advanced circuit design, simulations, and validation for complex hardware systems

Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers to define thermal management, shielding, and mechanical integration strategies

Drive schematic design, component selection, and PCB layout in accordance with DFM, DFA and DFT best practices

Take ownership of the full product lifecycle, from concept and design through prototyping, validation, and production support

Lead debugging and root-cause analysis of complex hardware issues in prototypes and early production units

Review and optimize designs to improve performance, reliability, and cost

Define and maintain high-quality technical documentation, including requirements, design specifications, schematics, and BOMs

Generate TPDs and collaborate with manufacturers and suppliers of PCBs and components

Mentor junior engineers and contribute to design reviews and technical decision-making

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field

Extensive experience in designing digital, analog, and power circuits for complex systems
