Hardware Engineer

We are looking for a highly experienced Hardware System Architect to join our team in Valencia. This is a rare, high-impact opportunity for a senior professional who bridges the gap between complex automotive system requirements and silicon implementation.

You will be responsible for defining the architecture of state-of-the-art integrated circuits (ICs) for radar and transceiver modules in the automotive sector, translating customer needs into concrete specifications for analog and digital design teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Requirements Translation & Architecture Definition: Drive the IC hardware requirements definition. Translate high-level system concepts into a concrete list of components, functions, and technical specifications.
• Modeling: Establish and maintain hardware centric SystemC or Matlab models of the complete signal chain, from Radio Frequency (RF) and analog components to the digital domain
• Technical Leadership: Evaluate trade-offs, drive architecture selection and establish the implementation plan for circuits and firmware, actively contributing to the generation of the final IC product specifications
• Coordination & Review: Direct, oversee, and review the activities of analog and digital circuit design and firmware development teams
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work with Functional Safety and security engineers to define concepts and support corresponding methods (FAM, FMEA, safety analysis, FMEDA, FTA, security analysis)
• Collaborate with Reliability and package engineers to ensure robust design and ESD protection
• Partner with Product Test engineers to create Design-for-Test (DfT) concepts
• Support the Applications and Validation teams during laboratory testing to guarantee the fabricated chip meets all requirements
• Stakeholder & Negotiation: Use strong soft skills to negotiate technical trade-offs, assess project viability, and reach consensus across different technical areas and external customers
• Document, manage and baseline requirements in DOORS, support product documentation.

Technical Stack & Tools

Modeling/Simulation: SystemC, Matlab.

Design/EDA

Cadence.

Requirements

Management: DOORS or equivalent requirement management tools.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Education: Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or equivalent, with a strong focus on semiconductor technology and microelectronics.
• Experience: 8+ years of experience as a system architect or senior circuit designer for highly integrated transceivers on advanced CMOS technologies.
• Proven experience in digitally assisted analog/RF signal chains.
• Hands-on design experience with blocks such as amplifiers, DACs, ADCs, PLLs, mixers, filters, and control loops (knowledge of PLL or ADC architectures is a major plus).
• Familiarity with automotive radar systems and integrated circuits (ICs).

Soft Skills & Methodologies

• Results-oriented, quality-conscious, and team player.
• Ability to work effectively in spatially distributed, multicultural teams.
• Excellent communication skills to manage negotiations with different stakeholders and defend technical compromises.
• Languages: Fluency in English and Spanish is mandatory.
