TL;DR · R&D Hardware Engineer

As an R&D Hardware Engineer, you will join an interdisciplinary team to design, develop, and deliver ultra high-performance electronic products. You will own all aspects of electrical hardware design under a One Person One Board development culture, managing the cradle to grave lifecycle from BOM creation and vendor negotiation to circuit design, development, and validation. Your daily work involves addressing power and thermal issues for PCBs with 1kW+ footprints and managing high-speed, high-density signaling with SerDes rates of 112G to 224G. You will utilize precision scopes, analyzers, and validation tools while working with large high-powered SOCs based on advanced 2D, 2.5D, and 3D memory packaging technologies. This role requires collaborating with ASIC, Signal, Mechanical, Thermal, Diagnostic, Packaging, and Manufacturing engineers to solve complex hardware problems.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and deliver ultra high-performance electronic products.
  • Own all aspects of EE hardware design, including circuit and board design.
  • Create Bills of Materials (BOM) and participate with vendor negotiators.
  • Perform hardware development and validation for complex products.
  • Manage the full product lifecycle from conception to sustained high volume production.
  • Resolve customer trials, field issues, and product sustaining requirements.
  • Provide technical leadership to a small design team as needed.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering.
  • 5+ years of related experience.
  • Experience with large high-powered SOCs based on advanced silicon and packaging process technologies.
  • Experience with high-speed and high-density signaling with SerDes rates of 112G – 224G.
  • Experience with precision scopes, analyzers, and development and validation tools.
  • Understanding of power and thermal issues associated with PCBs with 1kW+ footprints.
  • Demonstrated lifecycle product ownership of complex products from conception to sustained high volume production.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with interdisciplinary teams including ASIC, Signal, Mechanical, and Manufacturing engineers.
