Hardware Engineer  

For one of our clients operating in the railway infrastructure sector for over sixty years, consistently pursuing innovation and cutting-edge technologies. A leader in the production of power supply units for railways and stations, LED-based signaling systems, Automatic Train Protection (ATP) systems, and ERTMS, for both trackside and onboard subsystems. We are looking a HARDWARE ENGINEER.

Responsabilità

The business environment relies heavily on hardware for many functions inside automated traffic control systems, and the Hardware Engineers are pivotal in the development of components that provides real solutions. An Hardware Engineer needs to address the entire hardware development lifecycle - to analyze the needs, and then design, test and develop hardware in order to meet those needs.

1) Hardware Engineer Duties and Responsibilities

a) Hardware Components Design

The main purpose is to design new products and maintain all Digital electrical boards and/or Analog, circuits, components and interconnects for ECM Field Equipment Components (FEC).

To evaluate new software and hardware during deployment to ensure smooth functioning of system.

Develop and implement product designs and provide support to production and ensure compliance to time-frame, quality and cost targets.

Manage technical aspects and monitor efficient deployment of new technologies and systems, following the SIL4 development process, as prescript by EN 50126 and 50129 disposition.

b) Test and Document Progress

Plans that look promising on paper don't always work out. Throughout the development process, hardware engineers test components and modify them as necessary. They may discover, for instance, that software isn't running as desired with the hardware created. By analyzing data and making changes, they work toward a final product that operates seamlessly. Hardware engineers thoroughly document what they fix or alter in order to create a record.

Coordinate with product development teams to perform Design for Testability (DFT) on design cycle.

c) Collaborate with Colleagues

Hardware engineers do not develop or improve products alone. They receive input and advice from software engineers and others involved in designing and testing. Working together throughout the various development stages helps reduce bugs and ensure a better end result. Colleagues from other departments may seek out hardware engineers to answer questions or give suggestions as they conceptualize their own work, such as a software engineer inquiring about the memory needed to support a proposed upgrade.

Collaborate with cross functional design teams such as hardware, mechanical and Software.

Collaborate with outsourced Validation and Manufacturing partners to ensure timely supply of systems and devices as per specification.

Coordinate with client's engineering team and management to ensure efficiency.

Profilo

Hardware Engineer Skills and Qualifications
