Attached resume
Experience
a minimum of two, three years, would five to eight years is probably the sweet spot and obviously someone with 20 years is even better in my opinion.
Experience with Power subsystem design.
familiarity with simulation tools, high-speed design techniques
Pcb stack ups.
Verification of those implementations.
Good familiarity with Design techniques for a low power distribution, network of pdn
should you designed to have minimum noise
design and test hardware engineer
designed at the pcb level
When they say experience with pcb design, they are not talking about people that go in and do layout work / connect the dots
tools we're on a cadence design, flow tool flow.
Lab environment experience
Job DescriptionJob Title: SSD Hardware Engineer Location: Longmont, CO 80501 – 100% onsite, open to candidates who are willing to relocate and be onsite from day 1. They will also consider candidates to work from their Boise, ID office but they have a much higher preference for the Longmont, CO location Duration: 12-month contract, likely to convert to an FTE position and/or extend Other Requirements: Must be able to pass a drug test and 7-year background check Number of Positions: 1 DescriptionJOB OVERVIEW
Seeking a self-motivated, team-oriented board design engineer to develop Microns next generation Solid State Drive (SSD) products.
This position requires experience in hardware architecture, design, signal integrity and power supply design.
This would include modeling and simulation for high speed signaling implementations and power supply design including power distribution network (PDN) simulations.
A successful candidate will have a good working knowledge of:
State of the art memory device technologies, interfaces such as SATA, SAS, PCIe Gen 3&4, ONFI and implementation techniques required for high-speed interfaces.
In addition, this candidate will have a good working knowledge of Buck and boost power supply designs.
Experience with PCB design tools (Cadence PCB design and analysis, including Si/Pi).
Expertise in the design for optimum signal and power integrity as well as hands-on lab experience.
Duties And Responsibilities
Interface in cross functional teams to ensure the design meets all firmware, diagnostic and system level requirements.
Participate in architecture definition, design reviews, requirements generation of SSD products.
Perform basic Signal and power integrity measurements
Document and communicate results with cross functional counterparts.
Simulate and analyze design proposals, review results and provide recommendations on optimal design practices to other design engineers.
Experienced in designing hardware for large scale manufacture, including DFx and low cost considerations
Hardware design, worst-case analysis, simulations, capture schematic, de-rating and assumes complete ownership of the SSD hardware thru the product lifecycle.
PCB back-end process: defining stack-up and via technologies, part placement, setting design constraints, signal integrity and power integrity analysis
Works proactively with cross functional team members during design, verification as well as on RMAs
Critical Skills
Self-motivated. Desire to take on challenges. Result-driven and details oriented.
Good interpersonal and communication skills are a must.
Good in transmission line fundamentals. Understand the fundamentals of time-domain vs. frequency-domain.
In depth knowledge in circuit designs, as well as semiconductor design.
Good PCB design experience on high speed signals routing guideline and review, power copper routing and review, design for EMI/ESD protection.
Design for signal integrity, including SerDes, power and interconnect.
Develops solutions to complex technical problems, which require ingenuity and creativity.
Analog design using simulation e.g. SPICE (or equivalent).
Practical Experience With Design Tools Or Equivalent
Cadence Sigrity, Allegro Power-Aware SI
Mentor Graphics HyperLynx
Practical Lab SI Analysis Experience Using Equipment Or Equivalent
High-bandwidth measurements (20-35GHz) via:
Teledyne Lecroy SDA820Zi-B Oscilloscope
Agilent MSO-X 92004A Oscilloscope
PCIe Compliance equipment (requires also using one of the following test equipment)
Teledyne Lecroy PER-R008-S01-X Protocol Aware Bit Error Rate Tester
Keysight J-BERT M8041A # Protocol Aware Bit Error Rate Tester
Qualification Requirements
BS in Electrical Engineering required; MS in Electrical Engineering is preferred
