Founding Hardware Engineer (PCB / RF)

A European defense and aerospace company is hiring a Founding Hardware Engineer for its Vilnius office. We design miniature radar seekers. Everything has to fit on a single board: high-frequency RF, high-speed digital lines, and dense power regulation — while keeping digital noise out of the analog front-end. If it doesn’t, the radar goes blind. Thermal density, EMI, and tight mechanical constraints have to be solved together.
We are looking at candidates in Vilnius and elsewhere in Europe. Relocation is fully covered: move, housing, and official employment.
Main Responsibilities
Own the physical board end-to-end, from schematic to bench bring-up.
Select components against real stock and lead times — no waiting 10 weeks for a PMIC.
Design the multi-layer stackup (6 layers) and calculate impedance.
Route RF traces, high-speed digital lines, and the power delivery network.
Define via stitching, RF cans, and the grounding scheme.
Align board outlines and
