The Principal Hardware Engineer will join a small, dynamic Hardware Engineering team responsible for developing innovative networking products. This role will lead system and board-level architecture, digital and analog circuit design, signal integrity, and product development from concept through production. The engineer will collaborate with transceiver vendors, contract manufacturers, customers, and cross-functional teams to deliver reliable, high-performance, and manufacturable products. This position will have a direct impact on product performance, successful system deployment, and Gigamon’s ability to deliver differentiated network observability solutions.

• Define system and board-level architectures and high-level concepts for new networking products.
• Design and develop board-level circuits across digital and analog technologies, including high-speed interfaces, clocking, power distribution, and system interconnects.
• Apply strong electrical and signal integrity fundamentals to guide design decisions and resolve high-speed system-level challenges.
• Establish and maintain signal integrity rules, design constraints, and compliance requirements.
• Apply optical communications knowledge when specifying new transceiver SKUs and collaborating with transceiver vendors.
• Lead conceptual design, component selection, design simulation, detailed design, schematic capture, and PCB design-rule development.
• Design high-speed buses and perform signal integrity analysis to support product performance and compliance requirements.
• Design low-noise, high-efficiency on-board power regulation circuits.
• Apply Ethernet standards, including IEEE 802.3, to networking product development.
• Support PCB layout, board- and system-level bring-up, debugging, verification, and validation.
• Develop and execute hardware validation plans covering functional, performance, interoperability, environmental, and reliability requirements.
• Use appropriate laboratory equipment, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, network test equipment, and other diagnostic instruments, to investigate and resolve hardware issues.
• Design, develop, modify, and support new and existing products throughout their lifecycle.
• Manage prototype builds with contract…
