What you'll do

  • Design and specify high-performance compute solutions based on specific customer requirements.
  • Perform electrical design, schematic capture, and provide guidance for complex board layouts.
  • Conduct simulation, bringup, and debugging of hardware systems from the system level down to the transistor level.
  • Validate customized compute designs and ensure compliance with high-speed digital interface standards.
  • Provide technical support during the factory build process to ensure successful mass production.
  • Develop functional specifications, procedures, and technical documentation for complex system integrations.
  • Manage design constraints for high-speed PCBs using industry-standard tools like Cadence.
  • Develop automation and data manipulation scripts to support engineering workflows.

What we're looking for

  • BS in electrical or computer engineering required.
  • MS degree preferred.
  • Minimum 1+ years of relevant industry work experience.
  • Knowledge of design and validation for low-speed and high-speed digital interfaces like I2C, SPI, JTAG, USB, PCIe, Ethernet, and DDR Memory.
  • Ability to debug problems from the system-level down to the transistor level.
  • Experience with high-speed board design (10+ layers), schematic entry, and Cadence tools.
  • Proficiency in using standard EE lab equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers for bringup and debug.
  • Strong written, verbal, and visual communication skills for developing functional specifications and documentation.
