Salary

💰 $156,802 - $219,522 per year

About the role

  • Design complete board-level electrical systems including power distribution, high-speed digital interfaces, clock generation/distribution, and analog signal conditioning
  • Perform component research, evaluation, and selection with consideration for performance, availability, qualification status, radiation tolerance, and cost
  • Create detailed electrical schematics using industry-standard ECAD tools, ensuring design for manufacturability, testability, and reliability
  • Conduct signal integrity analysis for high-speed interfaces (PCIe Gen3/4, JESD204B/C, DDR4, 10/25/100/200GbE) using simulation tools
  • Perform power integrity analysis and design robust power distribution networks (PDNs) for FPGAs, ASICs, and high-speed data converters
  • Analyze crosstalk, EMI/EMC, and grounding/shielding strategies for mixed-signal boards
  • Collaborate with PCB designers on stack up definition, routing constraints, and layout guidance
  • Generate and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), managing component lifecycle and obsolescence
  • Support board bring-up, debugging hardware issues, and conducting design validation testing

Requirements

  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 5+ years of PCB design experience
  • Proficiency with PCB design tools (Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or similar)
  • Strong understanding of signal integrity principles for high-speed digital design (transmission lines, termination, crosstalk)
  • Experience with controlled impedance design and working with PCB stackup optimization
  • Knowledge of EMI/EMC best practices and design guidelines
  • Familiarity with IPC standards (IPC-2221, IPC-6012, IPC-A-610)
  • Experience with PCB layout for FPGAs, high-speed ADCs/DACs, or mixed-signal designs
Benefits
  • Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance
  • Paid parental leave
  • Short and long-term disability
  • 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%
  • Education Support Program
  • Up to four (4) weeks paid time off per year
  • Up to 14 company-paid holidays
