Title Hardware Design Systems Engineer

Responsibilities

We are looking for a Staff Hardware Designer – Systems Engineer to contribute to the design, bring‑up, and validation of Evaluation Kits (EVKs) used for silicon validation and customer engagement.

In this role, you will support hardware projects from requirements review and system architecture input through schematic design, PCB review, bring‑up, laboratory validation, and documentation. You will work closely with senior engineers, technical leads, cross‑functional teams, and external partners to deliver high‑quality, robust EVKs while continuing to develop broader project ownership skills. You will focus on:

• Contribute to EVK hardware projects from requirements to validation
  , taking ownership of assigned tasks and design blocks
• Support the translation of requirements from Systems, SW, IC Design, Marketing, and customers into practical EVK design implementation
• Design EVKs at schematic level, including:
  • Power supply architecture (DC/DCs, LDOs, sequencing, monitoring)
  • High‑speed, RF and mixed‑signal circuits (matching, filters, baluns)
  • Communication and control interfaces (I2C, SPI, FTDI, GPIO)
• Apply Signal Integrity and Power Integrity (SI/PI) fundamentals to high‑speed and mixed‑signal designs
• Support PCB layout guideline definition
  , floorplan reviews, stack‑up reviews, routing reviews, and SI/PI simulation assessment
• Use Cadence or equivalent EDA tools to support schematic design, PCB layout review, and design checks
• Use LTspice or similar SPICE tools for power supply analysis and basic circuit simulations
• Generate and review BOMs, Gerbers, and manufacturing outputs
• Define and execute bring‑up and validation plans in the laboratory and contribute to their improvement
• Debug hardware issues using standard lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, etc.)
• Support screening and test plans and collaborate with lab technicians during execution
• Use Python scripting to automate lab validation, screening, data collection, and result analysis
• Create high‑quality documentation
  , including user guides and bring‑up procedures
• Share design concepts, implementation details, and results with internal teams and, when needed, support customer‑facing material

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• 3–4 years of experience in hardware design for complex systems, EVKs, or reference designs
• Experience in:
  • Power supply design and sequencing
  • RF and mixed‑signal hardware design
  • High‑speed interfaces and SI/PI fundamentals
  • Low‑speed communication
• Ability to contribute effectively to hardware projects, take ownership of assigned work, and work under guidance from senior engineers or technical leads
• Hands‑on experience with board bring‑up, validation, and debug in the lab
• Working knowledge of Python scripting for lab automation, validation support, screening, and data analysis
• Familiarity with Cadence or similar EDA tools, and LTspice or equivalent SPICE tools
• Communication and documentation skills, including professional English
• Ability to work effectively with cross‑functional and geographically distributed teams, using English as a common working language

Nice to Have

• Experience with high‑speed Ser Des / optical / networking SoCs / RF circuits
• Experience working with international and cross‑site teams
• Experience defining HW processes and best practices

Why Join Us

• Contribute to technically challenging EVK designs at the heart of silicon validation and customer engagement
• Meaningful technical contribution with guidance from experienced engineers
• Collaboration with experienced global teams
• Opportunity to grow toward broader system‑level ownership and technical leadership
