Senior Hardware Engineer Job at Redlen Technologies Inc.

Redlen Technologies Inc. Saanichton, BC

Company Overview

Redlen Technologies’ genesis lies in the foundational work of its Co-Founder Bob Redden who undertook a Canadian Space Agency (CSA) challenge of growing crystalline materials in microgravity on the Mir and the International Space Station (ISS).

Starting from an original team of five to over 200 employees today, Redlen has continued to innovate and improve the semiconductor crystal growth and fabrication process for its world-leading Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) sensors, used in Medical Imaging, Security Imaging and Non-Destructive Testing. Redlen’s technology is enabling a quantum leap forward in medical CT scanners - equivalent in scope and scale to the leap from black and white TVs to high definition 4K LED displays – improving image resolution and diagnostic accuracy, all the while substantially reducing radiation dose.

The team has grown from 50 to 200 employees in the recent past as it has secured design wins with major Fortune 500 industry customers in the medical and security industries. It plans to grow to 400 people and double its Victoria footprint in the next few years. Redlen’s impressive technical leadership and innovation led global medical equipment leader Canon Inc. to acquire Redlen for $430M in 2021 - a huge win for the B.C. tech industry.

Redlen has received numerous awards and accolades and prides itself on being a great place to work for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) roles, and for being an equal opportunity employer.

Job Description:
Reporting to the Director, Module Engineering, the successful applicant will assume a key role in the implementation and delivery of the electronic modules in Redlen's radiation detectors. This work is expected to be highly challenging, with the combination of novel and world-leading technology and technically demanding applications. These detector modules are full systems based on custom mixed signal ASICs and FPGA-based logic.

We are looking for enthusiastic practitioners in these technologies. This may be the chance for you to apply your talent and energy towards making a real difference.

This role is based at Redlen’s office in Saanichton, BC near Victoria.

Key Responsibilities Include:
  • Managing the core PCB implementation and delivery, including fit to mechanical constraints (physical, thermal), the BOM (bill of materials), manufacturing, validation, and debugging.
  • Integration and debugging of detector module electronics, including FPGA logic, low noise mixed-signal custom ASICs, 10Gb/s serial links and embedded software.
  • NPI (new product introduction) starting at a negotiated handoff from the system architect finishing with the delivery of system validated electronics for initial customer prototypes.
  • Contributing to product improvement initiatives including reducing BOM and test costs, enhancing yield, increasing test coverage and improving reliability
  • Proactive identification of technologies that put Redlen in a leadership position to fulfill next generation application requirements and customer needs.
Experience Required:
  • Hands-on design of complex electronics for high reliability industrial or medical applications.
  • Schematic capture and layout,

  • Debugging of electronic system hardware and embedded controllers
  • A minimum of 5 years' experience in such a role.
Relevant Skills of Interest:
  • High speed board design for signal integrity.
  • FPGA design and simulation, Verilog or VHDL.
  • Precision analog design and simulation.
  • Altium or similar PCB design environment for schematics and layout.
Other Requirements:
  • Ability to work in a dynamic environment as a member of a cross functional team;
  • Comfortable with challenging development projects and emerging requirements;
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills;
  • Good time management skills and ability to work with limited supervision;
