JOB TITLE: Hardware Systems Engineer - Board Design
As a member of the Silicon Validation Hardware team within the Silicon Technologies group, you will help design and manufacture next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient system-on-chip processors. Your daily responsibilities include developing specifications from cross-functional requirements, performing schematic capture, circuit design, and defining layout and routing constraints. You will conduct board bring-up, testing, and characterization while debugging complex system-level problems. Key technical tasks involve FPGA and CPLD development, power and signal integrity analysis, and high-speed interface design. You must demonstrate proficiency with hardware lab equipment like scopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers. Required skills include RTL experience using Verilog or VHDL, test automation using Perl, Tcl, or Python, and strong fundamentals in transistor operation, timing analysis, and digital logic.
Develop hardware specifications based on requirements from cross-functional teams.
Perform schematic capture, circuit design, and define layout and routing constraints.
Conduct design reviews and simulations for hardware components.
Develop and implement FPGA and CPLD designs.
Execute board bring-up, testing, characterization, and debugging.
Perform power and signal integrity analysis for high-speed interfaces.
Debug complex system-level issues on test boards and production systems.
What we're looking for
BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or a related degree program.
3 years of experience in a relevant field.
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 such as scopes, logic and spectrum analyzers, signal generators, eLoads, and protocol analyzers (preferred).
Test automation expertise using Perl, Tcl, or Python (preferred).
