  • Lead conceptual design, component evaluation, simulation, schematic development, and provide layout guidance for printed circuit boards.
  • Translate product requirements into concrete system designs through close collaboration with product leadership.
  • Oversee prototype builds in partnership with manufacturing teams and external design or production partners.
  • Participate in environmental testing and support the transition of hardware from engineering into full scale production.
  • Provide mentorship, technical guidance, and support to junior engineers.

  • Fifteen or more years of experience designing hardware for networking, communications, or high speed data systems. Experience with Broadcom or Marvell technologies is highly advantageous.
  • Extensive background in high speed board design at one hundred gigabit rates, including signal integrity and power integrity expertise.
  • Hands on experience creating low noise and high efficiency power regulation circuits for complex systems.
  • Strong debugging and verification skills at the board level with proficiency in oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other diagnostic instruments.
  • Experience writing technical specifications, validation plans, and procedures for testing and qualification.

Who You Are

  • A motivated engineer who seeks new challenges and adapts easily to emerging technologies.
  • A collaborative partner who communicates clearly with technical and non technical teams.
  • Organized, dependable, and capable of balancing multiple priorities in a fast paced environment.
  • An analytical thinker who approaches problems with curiosity and presents solutions with clarity.
