Senior Hardware Engineer (RF / PCB)

We are looking for a Senior Hardware Engineer (RF / PCB) on behalf of our client from Israel, a defense-tech company developing next-generation communication systems for mission-critical and contested environments. The company builds advanced hardware platforms that combine RF engineering, high-performance electronics, and system-level design, delivering reliable communication where failure is not an option. Their solutions are used in demanding operational scenarios that require robustness, precision, and uncompromising reliability.

As a Senior Hardware Engineer, you will take a leading, hands-on role in the design and development of complex RF-centric hardware systems. This position involves real ownership of the full hardware lifecycle, from architecture and design through bring-up, testing, and iteration. You will work closely with R&D teams to solve challenging electrical and RF problems in environments where engineering quality directly impacts system performance.

What you will do:

• Lead end-to-end development of advanced, multi-layer PCB designs

• Design, simulate, and validate RF-intensive hardware systems

• Own schematic design, layout, board bring-up, testing, and iterative improvements

• Collaborate closely with R&D to define hardware architecture and system requirements

• Tackle complex electrical and RF challenges in demanding, real-world environments

What we’re looking for:

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering

• Proven, hands-on experience designing complex, high-performance PCBs

• Strong background in RF engineering, mandatory

• Experience working with industry-standard EDA tools such as Altium, Cadence, or similar

• Ability to lead technical processes and make architecture-level design decisions

Advantage:

• Experience in defense, aerospace, or other mission-critical industries

This is an opportunity to work on real, production-grade systems with tangible impact, in a small, highly skilled team where engineering excellence, ownership, and attention to detail truly matter.
