Guide and oversee PCB layout, ensuring it meets DFx standards and adheres to performance, cost, mechanical, thermal, and reliability constraints.
Create detailed component block diagrams and engage with PCB/PCBA vendors for fabrication and assembly.
Collaborate with system, firmware, software, and integration teams to ensure successful bring-up and validation of the platform.
Develop and execute test plans to validate design performance and document results.
Stay updated on new technologies to ensure our solutions remain cutting-edge and align with industry best practices.
We're looking for someone who has:
BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
At least 5 years of hands-on hardware design experience with a strong grasp of digital design and interfaces, including PCIe Gen 3.0/4.0/5.0, Ethernet 1G-T/T1 and 10G-T1, DDR, LPDDR, I2C, SPI, eMMC, USB, UART, and GMSL.
Proficient in schematic capture and PCB layout.
Skilled in using lab tools such as bench power supplies, multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and network analyzers.
In-depth understanding of PCB manufacturing, product delivery, and extensive experience in testing, validation, and troubleshooting of electrical systems.
Open-minded and collaborative team player, eager to assist others.
Excellent technical writing skills for clear communication and documentation.
Nice to have:
Prior experience building automotive, robotics, off-road, defense, or other real-time hardware systems
Prior experience designing and building prototype vehicles or compute hardware platforms
Prior experience with high-volume production of hardware products
