Senior Hardware Design Engineer – ASIC & High-Speed Systems
We are recruiting on behalf of a leading global technology organisation for an experienced Senior Hardware Design Engineer to develop complex, high-speed hardware for advanced communication systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop hardware architectures and translate system requirements into detailed designs.
- Design Evaluation Boards (EVBs) for ASIC validation, characterisation and system integration.
- Design high-speed clocking, power delivery and Power Distribution Networks (PDNs).
- Perform Power Integrity (PI) and Signal Integrity (SI) analysis.
- Develop schematics and define PCB stack-up, HDI and multilayer PCB requirements.
- Work closely with PCB layout teams and review schematic, placement and routing.
- Support board bring-up, hardware debugging, validation and characterisation.
- Develop test plans and technical documentation.
- Support DFM/DFT reviews and production ramp-up.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
