About the role

  • Create and manage schematics, PCB layouts, and BOMs to ensure reliable and high-performance hardware designs.
  • Design and develop complex multi-layer PCB layouts for high-density designs, with a focus on signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define design specifications and ensure they align with system requirements.
  • Perform signal and power integrity analysis, including grounding, trace routing, and impedance control.
  • Work closely with external manufacturers and suppliers to ensure that designs are optimized for fabrication, assembly, and cost-efficiency.
  • Develop test strategies and validation methods to ensure design reliability and performance of hardware designs.
  • Manage design revisions and perform continuous improvements on existing designs.
  • Provide technical support during prototype builds and assist in troubleshooting design-related issues.
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards, including safety and regulatory requirements.
  • Support and provide direction to suppliers throughout the development process.
  • Report to senior leaders on project status, roadblocks, and escalation requests.

Requirements
