About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Design, develop, and modify embedded hardware platforms that use host processors running Linux or Windows, including Intel processors and ARM-based SoC devices with FPGA fabric.
- Create and maintain hardware designs, including schematics, component selection, board-level architecture, and engineering documentation.
- Support circuit board layout activities and perform design reviews to ensure manufacturability, reliability, and compliance with project requirements.
- Use schematic capture, PCB layout, design rule checks (DRC), signal integrity analysis, and power integrity analysis to reduce project risk and improve design quality.
- Anticipate hardware bring-up, validation, and manufacturing needs early in the design process and incorporate those requirements into designs.
- Troubleshoot and debug hardware issues during development, system integration, qualification, and manufacturing.
- Design, implement, and troubleshoot basic DC-DC power converter circuits and power distribution networks.
- Provide technical support to manufacturing, test, and engineering teams, including investigation and resolution of hardware-related issues.
- Develop clear technical documentation, including design notes, schematic annotations, rework instructions, engineering reports, and email communications.
- Work within established engineering development processes, quality management systems (QMS), and product lifecycle requirements.
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to early-career engineers and new college graduates.
- Identify opportunities to improve engineering processes, tools, design practices, and product quality.
Requirements
What you’ll need- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience designing embedded hardware systems based on host processors with memory management units (MMUs) that run Linux or Windows operating systems.
- Experience with Intel processor platforms (such as Elkhart Lake, Raptor Lake, or similar) and/or ARM-based SoC devices with integrated FPGA fabric.
- Experience designing and modifying complex multilayer circuit boards.
- Strong understanding of digital hardware design, including high-speed interfaces, memory subsystems, processor support circuitry, and power sequencing.
- Experience using PCB design tools for schematic capture, layout review, and design verification.
- Knowledge of signal integrity, power integrity, and design-for-manufacturing principles.
- Strong hardware debugging skills, including the use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other laboratory equipment.
- Good soldering and rework skills for prototype development and troubleshooting.
- Experience supporting manufacturing, contract manufacturers, and cross-functional engineering teams.
- Familiarity with Python for scripting, automation, or test development.
- Familiarity with Verilog or other hardware description languages is preferred.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly communicate technical information to engineers, technicians, and manufacturing personnel.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.
- Proven record of identifying and implementing process improvements that increase engineering efficiency, quality, or product reliability.
