ABOUT HMS NETWORKS

We shape the connected world!

HMS stands for Hardware Meets Software and we work to make the world more connected, productive, and sustainable. HMS industrial communication products enable millions of machines such as robots, drives and air-conditioners to get connected to software and systems – A necessity to meet the future demands for energy efficiency and sustainability.

We build the products that make industrial equipment talk to each other. Our communication cards and modules sit inside machines, robots and control cabinets around the world, connecting them to networks such as EtherNet/IP and PROFINET.

HMS Networks is a global leader in industrial ICT, connecting devices and systems across factory automation. Our Waterloo site is a center of expertise in industrial communications interfaces, working as part of HMS's global hardware community alongside teams in Sweden, France, and other locations around the world.

ROLE PURPOSE

We're looking for a mid-level Hardware Designer to join our Waterloo team, working on the design and development of embedded industrial communications products - adapters, gateways, and controllers that connect industrial equipment to Ethernet and fieldbus networks. You'll own schematic capture, PCB layout, and component selection, and contribute to new product concepts from early architecture through to bring-up

and validation. You'll work closely with firmware, mechanical, and compliance engineering throughout the product lifecycle, and collaborate with hardware teams across HMS's global sites.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Design schematics and lay out multi-layer PCBs for embedded industrial communications products using Altium Designer
Select and specify components, including identifying and qualifying alternates for supply-chain resilience and cost/lifecycle management
Contribute to new product concept development and system-level architecture decisions
Apply EMC/EMI-aware design practices throughout schematic and layout - grounding, shielding, filtering, and layer stack-up decisions that support compliance targets
Support hardware bring-up: bench debug, oscilloscope and mixed-signal analysis, and EMC pre-compliance testing
Design for industrial Ethernet interfaces (PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP) and related physical-layer requirements
Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and product compliance teams through the full product development lifecycle
Support root-cause investigation and design revisions for field or test-related issues
Author and maintain design documentation, including requirements and hardware test cases

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent professional experience in hardware design
Solid schematic capture and PCB layout experience in Altium Designer; experience with Cadence/OrCAD an asset
Practical understanding of EMC/EMI principles as applied to PCB design (layout, grounding, filtering)
Experience with, or strong interest in, industrial Ethernet protocols (PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP)
Comfort with hands-on lab work: bring-up, debug, and pre-compliance testing
Ability to make sound component selection and alternate-sourcing decisions independently

Preferred

ATEX or other hazardous-location design experience (intrinsic safety practices, ATEX-relevant layout considerations)
Familiarity with industrial certification processes (UL, CE, EMC directives) from a design-support perspective
Experience with high-speed digital or mixed-signal layout
Background in factory automation, industrial IoT, or fieldbus-based products

KEY COMPETENCIES

Fluent in written and spoken English, with the ability to collaborate effectively with global teams, including colleagues in Sweden and France
Willingness to guide and support the work of junior designers as needed; this role has no direct reports

WORKING CONDITIONS

Hybrid schedule from our Waterloo, ON, CA office. Fulltime, day time hours.

TRAVEL
