Hardware Engineer

Bigstep was created by people passionate about cloud technology. We offer an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution with our Bigstep Metal Cloud, Storage and Network. We're set out to provide non-virtualized dedicated servers with all advantages of bare metal and cloud combined, giving our clients the possibility to deploy in minutes and scale up on demand with highest performance. Making it simple to use powerful servers, whether a single bare metal server or a complex infrastructure, is the number one goal of the Bigstep team. Bigstep's Metal Cloud product was built by a team of technology enthusiasts and provides clients with the high performance of bare metal and the scalability and flexibility of the cloud, all in a secure and cost-effective environment.

As part of our team, you will be working on an elaborate architecture that is designed for big computing workloads, micro-services, database acceleration, high volume batch processing, high volume stream data analysis, large-scale and real-time data processing, high traffic web applications, latency sensitive workloads, machine learning, advanced analytics, and more.
We spare no effort to encourage a dynamic environment that supports continuous learning and development, so feel free to bring your heart to work.

Requirements:
 Hands-on hardware experience required (+3yrs);
 Experience in working with design tools and programs such as Orcad, Altium Designer etc.
 Experience with x86 and/or ARM microprocessors;
 Excellent knowledge of common electronic circuits and components;
 “Hands-on” laboratory skills (electronic lab/test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, emulators, debuggers, etc.), soldering etc.);
 Good design practices knowhow for high speed designs, above 10Gbps;
 FPGA schematic design experience;
 Experience with low voltage power supplies;
 Nice to have experience with digital power modules and switches;
 Firmware editing and programming is a plus;
 Good verbal and written English communication skills;
