About the role
Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
4+ years of experience designing, developing, and validating complex electronic hardware systems from concept through production, with demonstrated ownership of technical deliverables and successful design execution
Proven ability to lead hardware development efforts from concept definition through schematic design, PCB layout and/or layout oversight, integration, verification, and design validation testing
Strong proficiency with industry standard schematic capture and PCB layout tools such as Altium Designer or equivalent
Proven experience integrating processors, FPGAs, and SoCs into high-performance embedded systems, including successful implementation and debugging of high-speed digital interfaces
Ability to design and validate mixed-signal circuitry incorporating ADCs, DACs, sensors, and precision analog signal chains while meeting performance requirements such as noise, accuracy, and dynamic range
Demonstrated success implementing and troubleshooting high-speed interfaces such as JESD204B, Ethernet (1G/10G+), PCIe, or equivalent protocols, including signal integrity considerations and laboratory validation
Familiarity with clocking architectures, oscillator selection, timing distribution, and synchronization requirements in complex digital systems
Proven capability designing passive and active analog signal-conditioning circuits, including filter design, analysis, and validation
Ability to identify technical risks early, develop mitigation strategies, and drive resolution through design reviews, testing, and cross-functional collaboration
Strong hands-on debugging and root-cause analysis skills with experience using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, multimeters, logic analyzers, and other laboratory equipment to validate hardware performance and resolve complex issues
Ability to develop test plans, execute validation activities, analyze results, and clearly communicate findings and recommendations
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce comprehensive design documentation including requirements, specifications, interface definitions, test plans, and engineering reports
Demonstrated success collaborating across multidisciplinary teams including RF, FPGA, software, systems, mechanical, manufacturing, and test engineering to deliver integrated product solutions
