Senior Hardware Designer, Tampere or Oulu

About the role

In this role, you will be responsible for the hardware architecture of advanced electronic devices, with a strong focus on integration, high-speed performance, and security. You will work very closely with mechanical and layout engineers, ensuring that complex SoCs, FPGAs, thermal management, and multiple-layer PCB designs come together as a functional and reliable product.

The role is comprehensive: from initial architecture and component selection to simulation, schematic design, validation, and supporting production.

You are offered

• A technically challenging role working on state-of-the-art products
• Close collaboration with world-class engineering professionals
• The opportunity to influence hardware architecture, signal integrity, and security standards
• A role with autonomy and responsibility, suited for a self-driven, senior-level engineer

Work tasks

• Architect and design complex digital systems, including the integration of high-performance processors and memory technologies
• Lead the schematic and PCB design process, ensuring high-quality results for multi-layer, high-density boards using Altium
• Optimize hardware for high-speed performance, focusing on signal and power integrity to ensure robust communication
• Integrate diverse technologies into functional products, ranging from power management and analog circuits to wireless interfaces and sensors
• Verify and validate designs through simulations and hands-on laboratory testing to ensure compliance with international standards

We are looking for

• Solid experience in hardware design for electronic or telecommunication products
• Good understanding of digital electronics, such as processors, memories, and modern data buses
• Familiarity with high-speed design principles, including an interest in signal and power integrity topics
• Experience with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium or similar) and a practical mindset for schematic design
• Broad technical curiosity, with the ability to understand how analog, digital, and power management components work together
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to take ownership of hardware design topics independently
