TL;DR · Hardware Systems Engineer, Board Design

As a Hardware Systems Engineer - Board Design within the Silicon Validation Hardware team, you will contribute to the development of next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient system-on-chip processors. Your daily responsibilities include developing specifications from cross-functional requirements, performing schematic capture, and defining layout and routing constraints. You will design and implement test and characterization circuits, conduct board bring-up, and perform power and signal integrity analysis. The role requires expertise in high-speed interface design, FPGA and CPLD development, and debugging complex system-level problems. You must utilize standard hardware lab equipment like scopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers. Technical skills include RTL experience with Verilog or VHDL, and test automation proficiency using Perl, Tcl, or Python to solve critical silicon engineering challenges.

What you'll do

  • Develop hardware specifications based on requirements from cross-functional teams.
  • Perform schematic capture, circuit design, and define layout and routing constraints.
  • Develop and implement FPGA and CPLD designs.
  • Conduct board bring-up, testing, characterization, and system-level debugging.
  • Perform power and signal integrity analysis for high-speed interfaces.
  • Debug hardware issues on test boards and production systems.
  • Use standard lab equipment and test automation scripts to validate hardware.

What we're looking for

  • BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or a related degree with 10 years of experience.
  • Experience with schematic level board design (preferred).
  • Understanding of board bringup and debug strategies (preferred).
  • Strong fundamentals in EE concepts including transistor operation, signal integrity, transmission lines, timing analysis, and digital logic (preferred).
  • RTL experience using Verilog or VHDL, preferably with FPGA design experience (preferred).
  • Proficiency with standard hardware lab equipment including scopes, logic and spectrum analyzers, signal generators, eLoads, and protocol analyzers (preferred).
  • Test automation expertise using Perl, Tcl, or Python (preferred).
