## Description

* Full Board Ownership: Lead and take full ownership of high-speed/RF boards from specification through design, schematic capture, PCB layout, BOM, bring-up, test, and debug.
 * RF Signal Path Design: Design RF signal paths with careful attention to impedance matching, microstrip/stripline routing, connector selection, and launch structures for operation up to 64 GHz.
 * Power Delivery: Design low-noise power delivery networks using LDO regulators appropriate for sensitive analog and RF measurement environments.
 * Converter Characterization: Characterize high-speed ADC and DAC devices, including SNDR, SFDR, THD, and dynamic range measurements.
 * Signal Integrity: Measure and interpret S-parameters to validate board signal integrity and RF performance across the full frequency range.
 * High-Speed Lab Validation: Lead high-speed measurement and validation on the bench, including BERT bit-error-rate testing, eye-diagram/jitter analysis, and high-speed oscilloscope characterization.
 * Digital Integration: Integrate FPGA or microcontroller subsystems on test boards to enable automated stimulus, data capture, and instrument control.
 * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with analog, digital, and test automation engineers to define specifications for next-generation evaluation boards.
 * Documentation: Clearly and thoroughly document board designs, test procedures, and characterization results.
