hirify.global develops quantum computing, quantum cloud, and quantum-enabled security solutions for real-world applications.

What you will do

• Own hardware architecture, component selection, schematics, and PCB layout for low-noise, high-frequency analog and mixed-signal systems in Altium.
• Manage prototypes, vendors, board bring-up, laboratory debugging, rework, and precision/high-frequency validation.
• Work with Python measurement software and develop STM32 F4/H7 firmware in C with HAL for control, calibration, and integration.
• Build automated board and firmware test setups using Python and VISA/SCPI instrument control, including repeatable build and validation pipelines.
• Support manufacturing through production packages, vendor coordination, test fixtures, versioning, and release documentation.
• Collaborate with optics, FPGA, and software teams on interfaces, calibration, timing, latency, and system integration.

Requirements

• 5+ years of analog or mixed-signal electronics design experience in R&D or instrumentation, with strong Altium and DFM/DFT skills.
• Strong knowledge of low-noise signal chains, precision measurements, grounding, shielding, low-leakage layout, and SPICE-class simulation.
• Experience with precision and high-frequency laboratory measurements, including noise spectral density, frequency response, drift, and temperature dependency.
• Knowledge of EMC/EMI, safety constraints, design-for-compliance, and precompliance testing.
• Python experience for laboratory automation and instrument control, plus a Git-centric workflow.
• Proficiency in written and spoken English, the right to work in Germany, and eligibility for a U.S. Secret or EU SECRET security clearance are required. Visa sponsorship is not provided.

Nice to have
