Role Posting Log in to save

The Board Hardware Engineer serves as the project lead engineer collaborating with board architects, product managers, mechanical engineers, physical layout engineers, and SI engineers to ensure designs meet specific parameters. This role involves interpreting product requirements into electronic schematics, selecting components, writing functional specifications, managing bills of materials, and performing pre- and post-simulations. The engineer manages multiple assignments while coordinating with contracted design services and supporting designs through engineering change orders and problem debugging. Required expertise includes high-speed PCB design, DC/DC regulator circuits, and board bring-up using oscilloscopes and soldering tools. Technical proficiency is required in Cadence-Allegro System Capture, PCB Editor, Sigrity PowerDC, OptimizePI, and LTSpice/PSPICE. Familiarity with DDR4, PCIe, UART, I2C, SPI, and USB protocols is essential, alongside experience with Python, C, TCL, VHDL, Verilog, and GitHub.

What you'll do

Translate product requirement information into detailed electronic schematic designs.
Write functional specifications and unit test plans for new hardware designs.
Manage the Bill of Materials (BOM) and select appropriate components.
Coordinate with physical design teams to determine component placement and routing constraints.
Perform pre- and post-simulation of board designs using industry-standard tools.
Execute board bring-up procedures using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and soldering tools.
Manage engineering change orders and debug issues for past and current designs.
Coordinate project assignments with contracted design and test services.

What we're looking for

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
5+ years of related experience with PCB design and development.
Experience performing high speed PCB designs.
Experience designing and laying out DC/DC regulator circuits.
Experience performing board bring-up using oscilloscopes, digital multi-meters, and soldering tools.
Working knowledge of Cadence-Allegro System Capture and PCB Editor software tools.
Experience with simulation tools such as Cadence Sigrity PowerDC, OptimizePI, LTSPICE, or PSPICE.
Familiarity with common bus protocols including DDR4, PCIe, UART, I2C, SPI, and USB.
Proficiency in Python, C, TCL, VHDL, Verilog, GitHub, and microcontroller programming (preferred).
Experience with high current DC/DC design and layout (preferred).
Experience with TDR and VNA test equipment (preferred).
Experience performing board layout and PCB stack up design (preferred).
