Hardware Engineer

Job Description

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
