Staff Hardware Design Engineer

What You’ll Be Doing

• Take a leadership role in architecting, designing PCBAs from prototype to NPI and high volume production stage.
• High-speed circuit designs including fast processors, modern large-scale FPGAs, DDRs, PCIe and other high-speed SerDes and high-efficiency power supplies.
• Schematics and layout design for innovative high speed wireless systems.
• Circuit designs using discretes (passive and active) for integration, filtering, etc.
• Work with extended cross-functional teams of other hardware designers, mechanical engineers, operations engineers and software engineers.
• Work with product management, Operations and Engineering leadership to define the requirements and trade-offs.
• Provide leadership in value engineering to continuously improve performance and cost.
• Understand and make design recommendations to improve radio frequency performance.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree (MS preferred) in Electrical Engineering with 12+ years of relevant Experience.
• Wireless hardware design expertise (digital and analog) with complex high-speed board design experience.
• Ability to define subsystem performance requirements, analyze through modeling and simulations.
• Design PCBAs from concept, architecture, schematics, layout, bringing up, testing and all the way to high-volume production.
• Hardware test equipment usage (eg, spectrum analyzers or power meters, Ethernet traffic testing, High-speed serial lanes testing) and guide 4-corner testing and qualification.
• Familiar with design cycles and able to use the Arena PLM tool.
• Knowledge of networking is highly desirable.
• Able to work well with cross-functional teams, such as the compliance team (to help get regulatory approvals), the RF team (to test and integrate into products with antennas and test/knowledge of S parameters, phase noise and isolation, return loss, etc), the OPS teams (solving production issues) and the SW teams.
• Statistical analysis abilities are a plus.
