TL;DR · Senior Test Hardware Engineer

The Senior Test Hardware Engineer joins the hardware engineering team to develop System Level Test PCBs for integrated circuit products. This role involves collaborating with Product Test and Firmware/Software teams to define system architecture, performing schematic capture, and managing component libraries using Allegro CAD tools. The engineer will design and audit boards while coordinating with layout, SI, and mechanical engineers to address electrical requirements, thermal solutions, and manufacturing constraints. Key responsibilities include managing vendor deliverables for fabrication, testing manufactured PCBs, and debugging via ECOs. Required skills include expertise in high-speed PCB techniques like backdrilling, experience with Linux command line scripting, and proficiency with DMMs and oscilloscopes. The role addresses the technical challenge of designing complex, high-power boards exceeding 200W per rail for hyperscale data center applications involving AI and cloud storage.

What you'll do

  • Design and perform schematic capture for System Level Test (SLT) and bench PCBs using Allegro CAD tools.
  • Create and manage PCB component libraries within the Allegro CAD environment.
  • Define system architecture by gathering design rules, requirements, and specifications from project stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with layout and SI engineers to ensure designs meet electrical requirements and high-speed signal integrity standards.
  • Coordinate with mechanical engineers and vendors to address thermal solutions and physical manufacturing constraints.
  • Manage vendor deliverables for PCB fabrication and assembly while maintaining the integrity of design files.
  • Test, debug, and rework manufactured PCBs while managing inventory and tracking test status.
  • Perform board bringup in an electrical engineering lab using oscilloscopes and other standard debugging equipment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering.
  • 12+ years of experience developing PCBs through manufacturing and test.
  • In-depth experience performing schematic capture using Allegro tools.
  • Experience managing vendors in the PCB fabrication and assembly process.
  • Familiarity with high-speed PCB design techniques like blind/buried vias, backdrilling, and SI optimization.
  • Proficiency with common EE debugging equipment such as DMMs and Oscilloscopes.
  • Comfort working with command line Linux OS based programs and scripting.
  • Understanding of Power Delivery Network (PDN) design for systems consuming 200W+ per rail (preferred).
