## About the Role

* BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or a related field
 * 10+ years leading hardware or embedded system design, with products you've taken to market
 * Depth in the analysis, simulation, and implementation of embedded control systems, data converters, RF/microwave circuits, and analog/digital filters

Desired:

 * Experience with atomic clocks, precision timing, or positioning/navigation/timing (PNT)
 * FPGA/CPLD design experience

## Description

Our Beverly, MA site is home to Microchip's Frequency and Time Systems Clock's business. The team there builds some of the most precise clocks in the world: cesium beam frequency standards, rubidium oscillators, and Chip-Scale Atomic Clocks used in commercial, defense, and aerospace systems. The Beverly team has delivered products that changed our world including the atomic clocks that enabled the GPS satellites to operate and more recently the world's smallest and lowest power atomic clock. We're looking for a senior hardware leader to own system architecture from first schematic to fielded product and to raise the technical bar for the engineers around them.

What you'll do

 * Lead the development of architecture, design, and implementation of complex hardware, including embedded controllers, analog and digital circuits, data converters, and RF/microwave subsystems.
 * Set technical direction and mentor engineers across the team.
 * Own validation strategy, including test, debug, and root-cause analysis, through to production.
 * Partner with firmware, software, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to deliver products.
 * Review and approve schematics, layouts, and design documentation.
 * Ensure designs meet industry, safety, and regulatory standards.
 * Work directly with customers to define requirements and solve hard technical problems.
 * Continuously improve how we design: methods, tools, and process.
