## About the Role

* BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
 * Typically 5+ years of hands-on electronic hardware development experience
 * Demonstrated experience owning complex board-level designs from requirements through schematic development, PCB implementation, prototype bring-up, verification, and release.
 * Broad knowledge of digital, analog, mixed-signal, embedded, high-speed interface, and board-level power design.
 * Strong understanding of multilayer PCB design, controlled impedance, differential signaling, grounding, manufacturability, and testability.
 * Strong laboratory bring-up, troubleshooting, and root-cause-analysis skills.
 * Demonstrated technical ownership, sound engineering judgment, and ability to independently solve complex hardware problems.
 * Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
 * Ability to provide technical guidance to others and develop broader technical leadership capabilities.

## Description

In this role, you will take ownership of complex board-level designs from requirements and initial concept through schematic development, PCB implementation, prototype bring-up, verification, and release. You will apply broad hardware engineering expertise across digital, analog, mixed-signal, embedded, high-speed interface, and power designs while working collaboratively across engineering disciplines.

 * Design and develop complex printed circuit board assemblies.
 * Translate product and system requirements into hardware architectures and detailed circuit designs.
 * Develop digital, analog, mixed-signal, and board-level power circuitry and select appropriate components.
 * Create and review schematics and supporting design documentation.
 * Design embedded systems incorporating processors, microcontrollers, FPGAs, memory, and peripheral devices.
 * Design with high-speed interfaces including PCIe, Ethernet, USB, DDR, and similar technologies.
 * Implement interfaces including I²C, SPI, UART, GPIO, and JTAG.
 * Design DC/DC conversion, regulation, sequencing, monitoring, protection, and power distribution.
 * Define component placement, PCB stackups, routing constraints, controlled impedance, differential-pair requirements, grounding, and return paths.
 * Participate in schematic and PCB design reviews.
 * Develop and execute hardware bring-up, characterization, verification, and integration plans.
 * Perform hands-on laboratory debug and root-cause analysis of complex board- and system-level issues.
 * Independently drive assigned designs and technical issues to resolution.
 * Collaborate across engineering disciplines throughout the product-development lifecycle.
 * Support product introduction, manufacturing, and sustaining activities.
 * Provide technical guidance to less-experienced engineers.
