R&D Engineer Hardware 5

About the role

As a Principal Hardware Engineer, you will design, develop, and deliver ultra high-performance electronic products. You may provide technical leadership to a small design team in a fast-paced, start-up-like environment. We believe in small teams of highly experienced engineers, with a "One Person One Board" development culture where you own all aspects of EE hardware design, including BOM creation, vendor negotiations, circuit/board design, development, and validation.

Our "Cradle to Grave" lifecycle product development means ownership extends beyond product ship—you will support customer trials, field issues, and product sustaining. You will collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of Hardware, ASIC, Signal, Mechanical, Thermal, Diagnostic, Packaging, and Manufacturing engineers. Joint development programs may also require extensive interaction with partner engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop high-performance electronic products, including large high-powered SOCs based on advanced silicon and packaging process technologies (2D, 2.5D, and 2.5D with 3D memories).
• Work with precision scopes, analyzers, and development/validation tools.
• Address power and thermal challenges for PCBs with 1kW+ footprints.
• Design high-speed and high-density signaling with SerDes rates of 112G–224G.
• Demonstrate lifecycle product ownership from conception to sustained high-volume production.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Sales, Marketing, Purchasing, Manufacturing, Customer Support, Compliance, Safety, and Sustainability.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 12+ years of relevant experience.

Skills
