Principal Engineer, Infrastructure Hardware

We are seeking a hands-on Principal Infrastructure Hardware Engineer to architect, design, and deliver system platforms supporting characterization, validation, ATE, and high-volume manufacturing of SiTime products. This is a technical leadership role with no direct reports, ideal for a senior designer who excels at deep technical ownership and cross-functional influence, System Architecture & Design Ownership

• Own end-to-end system hardware design from architecture through production release
• Define system architecture, schematics, PCB stack-ups, and layout constraints
• Drive component selection and vendor strategy balancing performance, cost, quality, and supply
• Lead SI/PI, PDN design and advanced simulations for low-jitter, high-speed interfaces, * Drive DFM, DFA, and DFT reviews with fabrication and assembly partners
• Lead hands-on prototype bring-up, debug, and characterization
• Perform system-level failure analysis and root-cause debug
• Utilize high-end lab equipment including oscilloscopes and phase-noise analyzers

Platform Scale & Technical Influence

• Develop modular, reusable platforms supporting multiple product lines
• Act as a technical mentor and design reviewer across hardware teams
• Clearly communicate technical status, risks, and trade-offs to stakeholders

Do you have experience in Scalability?, * MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience

• 7+ years of hands-on experience designing complex system hardware for high-volume products
• Proven delivery of hardware from concept through production
• Deep expertise in board, package, socket, and manufacturing technologies
• Strong SI/PI, high-speed digital, and mixed-signal design experience
• Proficiency with OrCAD, Allegro, ADS, HFSS, or equivalent tools
• Experience working with ODM/OEM partners and external compliance labs

Timing is the heartbeat of all electronics, ensuring performance, resilience and scalability. For decades, quartz devices, non-silicon technology, have kept systems in sync, but they struggle in harsher, more demanding environments. MEMS-based Precision Timing delivers greater accuracy, smaller size and resilience. Today, MEMS timing powers over 400 applications, including high-growth ones in AI datacenters, automated driving, industrial and humanoid robots, wearables and IoT. Our semiconductor MEMS programmable solutions offer a rich feature set that enables customers to differentiate their products with higher performance, smaller size, lower power, and better reliability. With more than 4 billion devices shipped, SiTime is changing the timing industry. For more information, visit: www.sitime.com.
