Hardware Engineer

A high-growth, battle-proven Israeli DefenseTech enterprise engineering mission-critical hardware-software systems, edge situational awareness, and intelligent tactical platforms for elite defense operators worldwide.

Founded by defense veterans with deep operational domain knowledge, the organization scaled organically into a robust, commercially successful enterprise before securing substantial institutional investment to accelerate global market expansion and manufacturing scale.

The R&D environment is multidisciplinary, pairing rigorous military-grade engineering standards with fast-paced innovation and end-to-end product ownership.

Located in the Sharon Region, operating on an in-office model with one day of remote work per week (requires standard defense clearance process).

Role Description-

• Serving as the Lead Hardware & Board Design Engineer (Discipline Founder), reporting directly to the CPO, taking full technical ownership over the hardware discipline with a clear pathway toward future team management.
• Owning the end-to-end hardware lifecycle for advanced Electro-Optical, Laser, and Tactical systems from system-level specs and electrical architecture down to component selection, schematics, and manufacturing release.
• Executing hands-on Digital Board Design, high-speed interfaces, and PCB layout oversight working with professional CAD/EDA suites.
• Managing board production transition (NPI, DFM/DFT), working closely with assembly subcontractors, fab houses, and component distributors.
• Leading hands-on lab bring-up, debugging, system integration, and root cause analysis across complex multi-board setups using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and advanced RF/optical test equipment.
• Driving electrical engineering best practices, regulatory compliance, environmental ruggedization, and documentation standards tailored to defense and ruggedized platforms.
• Collaborating cross-functionally with Systems Engineers, Embedded/BSP Developers, Optical Specialists, Mechanical Engineers, and Field Integrators.

Requirements-

• 5 years of proven hands-on experience as a Hardware Engineer / Board Design Engineer – Mandatory
• Deep, proven hands-on experience in Digital Board Design and modern electrical architecture – Mandatory
• Substantial hands-on expertise with High-Speed Digital design, signal integrity, impedance control, and modern high-bandwidth interfaces – Mandatory
• Extensive hands-on lab experience conducting system Bring-up, integration, and hardware troubleshooting using advanced laboratory test equipment (Oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, etc.) – Mandatory
• Proven track record seeing complex boards through from initial concept to full manufacturing transfer (NPI / DFM) – Mandatory
• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering (EE), Electronics Engineering, or equivalent academic technical degree – Mandatory
• Capability and readiness to undergo standard defense security clearance vetting – Mandatory
• Full-time commitment to working on-site in the Sharon Region (with 1 day working from home) – Mandatory
• Fluent, professional technical communication and specification-writing capabilities in English (written and verbal) – Mandatory
