Senior Board Design Engineer

As a Board Design Engineer, you will lead the design and development of electronic hardware at the core of Skapion's Native Counter-Swarm Platform. You will be responsible for board-level architecture, schematic design, hardware integration, bring-up, validation, and production support. Working closely with system, software, mechanical, and integration teams, you will transform complex operational requirements into reliable, field-proven hardware solutions deployed in real-world defence environments. This role is intended for a hands-on Board Design Engineer with strong technical fundamentals and the ambition to grow into ownership of complete hardware subsystems. Beyond board design, you will gradually take responsibility for technical decisions, multidisciplinary integration, and end-to-end delivery of hardware assemblies within the system. This position is ideal for engineers who enjoy complex electronics, taking ownership, solving multidisciplinary challenges, and seeing their designs progress from concept through field deployment.

The Mission

Some problems are too urgent to wait. Skapion is a defence-tech company building a Native Counter-Swarm Platform, designed from the ground up to intercept and defeat the threat. We are backed by top-tier investors and recruiting at full steam.

Why Join Skapion?

• Build it from day one. Design the hardware architecture instead of inheriting someone else's. Your boards will define how the system performs.

• See your work in the field. Take your designs from schematic through bring-up to field testing and production.
• Real, visible impact. In a focused team, your work matters directly to the mission and to the people who depend on it.
• Growing fast. The people who join now will help set the standard for everything that comes next.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop electronic boards and system hardware architecture.

• Lead the full product lifecycle: concept, schematic, layout guidance, bring-up, and production.

• Take technical ownership of hardware assemblies and subsystems from concept through field deployment and production.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (software, mechanical, system, and integration).

• Work with subcontractors and support performance analysis.

• Participate in design reviews, system validation, and field testing.

• Support the transition from development to manufacturing.

Requirements

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in board-level hardware design, including schematic design, bring-up, debugging, and system integration.

• Strong experience in Analog and digital circuit design, simulations, and component selection.

• Proven experience leading hardware development activities and driving technical solutions through the full product lifecycle.

• Demonstrated ability and motivation to take ownership of hardware projects and evolve toward responsibility for complete hardware subsystems.

• Hands-on experience with hardware validation, testing, and integration.

• Experience with OrCAD design tools.

• Familiarity with communication interfaces such as UART, SPI, I²C, CAN, Ethernet, USB, and RS-422/RS-485.

• Understanding of EMC/EMI design principles and compliance requirements.

• Strong problem-solving skills and a system-level engineering mindset.

• Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.

• Fluent in Hebrew and English.

Advantages

• Experience with STM32 microcontrollers.

• Experience with MIL-STD standards.

• Knowledge of programmable devices (CPLD / FPGA).

• Ability to work with software teams and read embedded code.

• Customer-facing experience and willingness to travel abroad.

• Experience with Nvidia, Qualcomm, or similar SOM platforms.
