TL;DR · Hardware Engineer, High Speed Digital Engineer

Hardware Engineer, High Speed Digital Engineer will join the Customer Terminal team to own high-speed digital interfaces including DDR, Ethernet, and SerDes for next-generation terminal products. The role involves selecting and qualifying components like retimers and PHYs, performing schematic capture, and conducting signal integrity analysis from architecture through production. You will perform channel modeling and simulation using EM tools such as ANSYS HFSS, SIwave, Keysight ADS, Cadence Sigrity, or Hyperlynx to verify interconnect performance. Day-to-day tasks include providing power integrity feedback during design reviews, validating interfaces in the lab with oscilloscopes, VNAs, and TDRs, and supporting board bring-up and root-cause analysis. The position requires expertise in high-speed digital interface design, signal integrity simulation, and CAD software like Orcad and Allegro to solve complex hardware challenges for high-volume manufacturing.

What you'll do

  • Select and qualify high-speed interface components like connectors, retimers, PHYs, and ESD protection.
  • Perform schematic capture for high-speed digital subsystems including net topologies and termination schemes.
  • Conduct signal integrity analysis for DDR, PCIe, Ethernet, USB, and MIPI interfaces from architecture to production.
  • Execute channel modeling and simulation using EM tools like ANSYS HFSS or Cadence Sigrity.
  • Validate high-speed interfaces in the lab using oscilloscopes, VNAs, TDRs, and high-fidelity probing techniques.
  • Perform root-cause analysis of SI/PI-related failures during board bring-up and debugging.
  • Support designs through qualification, production ramp, and high-volume manufacturing processes.

What we're looking for

  • Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in high-speed digital interface design and/or Signal Integrity simulation and validation.
  • Knowledge of CAD software such as Orcad and Allegro.
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field (preferred).
  • Experience designing cost-optimized, high-volume consumer electronics (preferred).
  • Experience with Power Distribution Network (PDN) design, simulation, and validation (preferred).
  • Experience with SI/PI co-simulation for mixed-signal applications (preferred).
