Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Hardware Designer will architect and deliver complex, high-performance electronic systems while collaborating with cross-functional teams on design and validation. Responsibilities include schematic design, component selection, design simulation, and leading hardware bring-up and regulatory certification.
Candidates must have a minimum of 5 years of direct electronics design experience and a Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering. Strong fundamental knowledge of high-speed circuit design, multi-layer PCB layout, and experience with industry-standard development tools are required.
Fidus is a global high-tech design firm headquartered in Ottawa, with additional design centres in Kitchener-Waterloo and San Jose. We specialize in leading-edge electronic product development, with hardware, embedded software, FPGA/ASIC, and signal integrity teams working together to design and deliver next-generation products for clients in emerging technology markets.
Position Overview/Mandate:
The Hardware Designer plays a key role in architecting and delivering complex, high-performance electronic systems for Fidus clients. You will work closely with customers and cross-functional teams (FPGA, software, SI/PI) to define system and board-level architectures, design high-speed circuits, and support full product development from concept through bring-up and validation.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys tackling challenging, high-speed designs (DDR, PCIe, SerDes), working across the full hardware lifecycle, and collaborating in multidisciplinary environments. You take pride in delivering robust, production-ready designs and mentoring others while maintaining a high standard of engineering quality and documentation.
Make an Impact with US:
At Fidus, you’ll work on high-speed, high-complexity electronic systems, often using emerging technologies before they reach the broader market. You’ll collaborate across FPGA/DSP, hardware, embedded software, verification, SI/PI, PCB layout, and mechanical/thermal design as part of cross-functional teams delivering real products for our clients.
In practice, that means contributing to projects in areas such as space and satellite systems, next-generation communications and networking, high-performance compute and storage platforms, advanced video, imaging, VR/AR applications, and industrial, medical, and automotive systems. You won’t be limited to a single product or industry—your work will follow the technology, not just one roadmap.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Who You Are:
Location and travel: Fully remote role and requires around 15% travel, including domestic and international.
Benefits
Our competitive compensation package also includes a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision plans, matching 401(k) contributions, annual profit-sharing bonus, along with other supplementary benefits.
We also recognize that candidates show interest throughout different career stages and welcome all applications. When there is a great fit, the level of the role may be shifted as applicable.
