The Principal Engineer, High-Speed Copper Technology is Infraeo’s senior technical authority for the full copper portfolio — passive DAC and active AEC/ACC solutions — from technology strategy and architecture through qualification, launch, production, and end-of-life.

This is a technical leadership role. You will set the direction for signal integrity, materials, active electronics, firmware, and board-level architecture; own the technical relationship with our semiconductor partners; and mentor the U.S.

-based firmware and hardware design team. Because our designs are licensed and transferred to customers and manufacturing partners rather than built in-house, success depends as much as design-for-manufacturability, defensible IP, and clean technical transfer as on bench results. The team is global, spanning the US and Asia. This position is based onsite at our Round Rock, TX office; it is not a remote or hybrid role.
