Senior Hardware Product Engineer – PCB Design & Customer Success
We’re looking for a seasoned hardware engineer to help drive adoption and development of an advanced PCB automation platform. In this highly technical, customer-facing role, you’ll work directly with electrical engineers to improve design workflows, influence product direction, and ensure that complex boards meet real-world demands.
What You’ll Do:
Support engineers using next-gen PCB automation tools, helping them solve design challenges and unlock the platform’s full potential.
Gather user feedback, uncover pain points, and work cross-functionally with internal teams to inform roadmap priorities and product improvements.
Serve as a key voice in the product development process—connecting hands-on design insights with engineering and ML teams.
Review and validate complex PCBs—ranging from high-speed motherboards to AI and robotics hardware—to ensure accuracy, performance, and manufacturability.
Translate customer needs into actionable technical specifications and enhancements.
Act as a technical advocate during high-stakes discussions with customers and internal stakeholders.
What We’re Looking For:
7–12 years of experience designing high-performance circuit boards.
A degree in Electrical Engineering (advanced degrees preferred).
A track record of building 50–100 complex boards involving high-speed memory, FPGAs, power delivery, and network interfaces.
Experience with Altium, Cadence, or similar board design tools.
Deep specialization in at least one area: high-speed digital, RF, or high-power design.
Strong presentation and client-facing communication skills.
Experience navigating both structured, process-heavy engineering environments and fast-paced startups.
History of staying in roles long enough to show real impact and career growth.
Prior startup experience is required.
Please Don’t Apply If:
You require visa sponsorship.
Your experience is limited to schematic-level design without layout expertise.
You haven’t worked on technically demanding boards or within formal hardware review processes.
