About the role

Responsibilities

  • Drive electrical design for high speed digital communication systems
  • Implement RF and mixed-signal designs in complex, multilayer PCBs
  • Work with 100G high speed networking, complex digital power trees, and drive system trades for architecture decisions
  • Perform schematic capture, layout, and bring-up on a variety of different digital systems including FPGAs, microcontrollers, and their associated peripherals
  • Collaborate across hardware and software teams with RF engineers, antenna engineers, FPGA engineers, and firmware engineers to optimize system performance and overall design
  • Test prototypes and assess performance in the lab and in the field
  • Work with production teams to make testable and manufacturable products that can be integrated in-house

Requirements

  • 5-7+ years of professional experience in electrical design
  • Proficient in high-density/high-speed design (including FPGAs, high speed data converters, SerDes, 10/100 GigE, networking, JESD204C)
  • Proficient in schematic capture and good PCB layout design
  • Experience with troubleshooting EMI/EMC, either conducted or radiated
  • Knowledge of PCB materials and developing board stack-up definition
  • Familiarity with soldering and hot air rework methods
  • Experience with full product lifecycle (concept through production)

Preferred Skills

  • 5+ years of experience designing high-speed mixed-signal electronics and complex multilayer PCBs for FPGA- or processor-based systems
  • Strong expertise in high-speed interfaces and networking technologies such as multi-gigabit SerDes, DDR, JESD204B/C, and 10/100G Ethernet
  • Deep understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC mitigation, PCB stack-up definition, and high-performance board layout practices
  • Proven experience leading hardware development from architecture and prototype bring-up through validation, manufacturing, and production ramp
  • Hands-on experience debugging complex hardware systems using advanced lab instrumentation and driving root-cause analysis across board and system levels
  • Ability to lead cross-functional technical efforts, mentor junior engineers, and make sound engineering tradeoffs in fast-paced development environments
