Hardware Architect

We're looking for a technically strong Hardware Architect to own hardware design and architecture for our products. This is a technical lead role - you'll be hands-on with design while mentoring junior engineers and guiding technical decisions. The area of development will be our family of telemetry hardware for monitoring the cold chain. You will be the technical authority for the entire physical layer, bridging the gap between theoretical RF physics, analogue and digital circuit design, to mass-scale production.
Location: Migdal Tefen.
Position Type: Full-time, On-site.

Key Responsibilities:
-System Architecture:
-Define and evolve overall hardware architecture strategy for the product line
-Design test jigs and fixtures for development, validation, and production
-Understand communication protocols and create high-level protocol descriptions.
-Break products into subsystems; define test/development strategies for each and integrate them into a full system
-Components base knowledge and selection
-Schematic design:
-Implement schematics for the architectures you develop
-Collaborate with a PCB designer.
-Powering - Have a good understanding of the characteristics of lithium and non-lithium batteries and be able to build reliable and highly repeatable power systems using them.
-RF Design, compliance, troubleshooting & Optimization
-Analog Mastery- Develop cost-optimized task-oriented precise enough analog signal chains.
-Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams.
דרישות התפקיד:
Technical Requirements:
-Experience: 5+ years in hardware/electronics design (IoT, sensors, or embedded products preferred)
-Strong analog/digital circuit design and PCB review experience
-Proven RF design experience (harmonics, filtering, EMI/EMC)
-Experience decomposing complex systems and building test strategies
-Experience designing test jigs/fixtures
-Track record of owning hardware architecture decisions
-Deep knowledge of embedded development, including how firmware must be designed and written to work within chipset-specific constraints (memory, processing power, low-power modes, peripheral limitations)
-Strong understanding of wireless communication protocols — able to define which protocol fits a given product's requirements and guide correct implementation and usage
-Experience mentoring engineers and involvement in technical hiring
-Fluent in English
