About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design high-speed digital and mixed-domain PCBs for RF and multi-sensor platforms.
Architect board-level hardware around FPGAs/SoCs, RF transceivers, ADCs/DACs, MCUs, memory, clocks, power, and high-speed interconnects.
Create schematics, BOMs, layout constraints, design notes, and release packages using tools such as Altium.
Support interfaces such as PCIe, USB, Ethernet, SFP/QSFP28, JESD204, QSPI, I2C, RS-422, and similar board-level buses.
Develop clocking, synchronization, reset, and power-sequencing approaches for coherent sensors and high-throughput data paths.
Collaborate with FPGA and embedded software engineers to define clean hardware interfaces, bring-up paths, debug hooks, control signals, and data-movement needs.
Collaborate with RF engineers on mixed-domain partitioning, RF/digital layout, transceiver integration, signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC considerations.
Bring up new boards using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, VNAs, power analyzers, protocol analyzers, and related lab tools.
Troubleshoot hardware, firmware, and system-level issues from bench prototypes through integration and field testing.
Iterate designs quickly based on test results, evolving requirements, manufacturing feedback, and field observations.
Support design reviews, DFM/DFT activities, vendor coordination, prototype builds, and transition from proof-of-concept hardware toward reusable platform designs.
Keep schematics, layout files, test plans, bring-up notes, validation results, and engineering documentation clear and current.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Minimum Eligible to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance - U.S. Citizenship required.
B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field.
5+ years of experience designing high-speed digital, mixed-signal, embedded electronics, FPGA/SoC carrier boards, RF-adjacent hardware, or similar systems.
Strong schematic capture and PCB design experience; Altium experience preferred.
Working knowledge of high-speed serial design, differential signaling, controlled impedance, stack-up planning, timing, clocking, reset, and board-level signal integrity.
Experience with power supplies, power sequencing, power integrity, thermal constraints, and dense embedded hardware design.
Ability to design hardware that supports FPGA/SoC integration, ADC/DAC or sensor interfaces, memory, PCIe/DMA-capable data paths, and application-facing control needs.
Hands-on board bring-up and troubleshooting experience with common lab and test equipment.
Ability to read datasheets, schematics, layout constraints, interface specifications, and system requirements, then turn them into practical hardware designs.
Clear communicator who documents decisions and works well across electrical, FPGA, embedded software, RF, DSP, mechanical, and systems teams.
