This role is responsible for designing and delivering system-level test PCBs that enable the client's high-power integrated circuit products to be validated, tested, and deployed across internal and external manufacturing partners.

• Collaborate with Product Test and Firmware/Software teams to define SLT system architecture and translate requirements into PCB designs.
• Design and capture schematics for SLT and bench PCBs using Allegro CAD tools, supporting high-power AI silicon applications.
• Create and maintain PCB component libraries, ensuring accuracy of component pinouts and footprints.
• Audit PCB layouts against design rule checks and work with layout, SI, and mechanical engineers to meet all electrical and thermal requirements.
• Manage vendor relationships throughout the PCB fabrication and assembly process, including deliverables, design file archival, and production-hardening.
• Test manufactured PCBs, manage inventory and test status, and execute debug, rework, and ECOs as needed for deployment to internal and external customers.
• Apply systems-level thinking across hardware, firmware/software, mechanical, and manufacturability considerations to deliver complete test solutions.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 12 or more years of experience developing PCBs through manufacturing and test.
• In-depth experience with schematic capture using Allegro (Cadence Capture CIS strongly preferred; Altium or Mentor Graphics considered with strong design background).
• Experience managing vendors in a PCB manufacturing process, including fabrication and assembly.
• Experience with production-hardening of PCB designs.
• Familiarity with high-speed PCB design techniques including blind/buried vias, back drilling, channel loss, and crosstalk mitigation.

• Experience designing PCBs for high-power systems (200W or more per rail, 1-3kW or more overall), with simulation skills related to Power Delivery Network design.
• Experience implementing detailed via structures for BGAs and connectors, with a solid understanding of transmission line fundamentals.
• Comfort working with command-line Linux OS-based programs and scripting.
• Familiarity with hardware/software interfaces and embedded software design constraints such as memory, power, and speed.
• Willingness to travel internationally (Taiwan, Malaysia, or Korea) on an occasional basis.
