Sr. Hardware Design Engineer

About the role

This role focuses on a high-speed PCB design project centered on respinning an existing board due to component obsolescence. You will update schematics, replace end-of-life components, and execute full design validation to ensure the board continues to meet demanding high-speed performance requirements, potentially including changes to board materials. The position offers a balanced mix of lab and design work, with approximately half of your time spent on hands-on validation and characterization and half on design activities. You will own the complete lifecycle of the board, from design through validation, in an advanced electronics environment developing extremely high-speed test equipment.

Responsibilities

• Own the full lifecycle of high-speed digital board design, from initial concept and schematic updates through validation and release.
• Update existing schematics to replace obsolete components while maintaining or improving overall system performance.
• Evaluate and select replacement components, ensuring compatibility with existing high-speed design constraints and interfaces.
• Support and execute a board respin, including potential changes to board materials that may impact high-speed performance.
• Perform comprehensive design validation (DV) of high-speed boards, including planning, execution, and documentation of validation activities.
• Conduct hands-on design verification and characterization in the lab using high-speed oscilloscopes, BERT/BER testers, pattern generators, and related equipment.
• Validate and characterize high-speed interfaces and signaling technologies such as SER
