Senior Hardware Design Engineer

Zurich Instruments is a technology leader in advanced test and measurement instruments based on dynamic signal processing. Our products are used in many challenging research fields by scientists all over the world. Zurich Instruments’ vision is to be the reference for digital instrumentation in leading research and development laboratories.

Working with electronics is your passion. You feel challenged and enthusiastic about building electronic systems that set new performance benchmarks. This is your chance to work as part of a highly committed Research & Development team striving for best-in-class measurement hardware and software solutions.

• Design, implement and characterize the PCB based electronics for our large-scale, high-performance test and measurement systems
• Contribute to the examination and assessment of new technologies and components and their application in our circuits
• Ensure testability and reliability of the conceived systems (design for test)
• Collaborate with and instruct external partners (e.g., PCB layout sub-contractors, PCB/A manufacturers)

• BSc, MSc, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or in an equivalent field
• At least 3 years of practical experience in electronic circuits and systems design, including analog and digital signal processing and control, high-speed converters (ADC, DAC), power supply conditioning, as well as good understanding of signal integrity topics and EMI mitigation techniques.
• Preferably experience in high-speed digital standards (e.g., LVDS, CML) and high-speed computing interconnects (e.g., multi-GbE, PCIe, InfiniBand) or in RF electronics design.
• Proficient user of EDA tools for circuit design and simulation (e.g., Altium Designer, Spice, CST Studio Suite)
• Proficient user of laboratory instrumentation including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers and VNAs
• Experience in design for cost, test and manufacturing

We offer a diverse work environment with an open and transparent company culture where personal development forms the basis of our success. We thrive on cooperation and support distributed decision-making that allows everyone to take responsibility and generate substantial impact from the start and on many levels.

Now is a great time to join the team.
