Senior Hardware Engineer

Location
Palo Alto, CA
Skills
Python

What to Expect

Design of the complex high power and high-speed boards that deliver the compute performance while delivering high power to overall system with complex thermal/mechanical requirements. This culminates in products/systems that are technically cutting edge. A typical day of work includes working with cross functional groups through the design cycle in realizing the final architecture target.

What You’ll Do

  • Understand and design with SoC/Chipset components and peripherals (eMMC, flash, DDR) and interfaces such as I2C, UART, and SPI.
  • Understand high-speed digital design and interfaces such as PCIe Gen 3.0/4.0, Ethernet 40b/100b/1000b, DDR3/4.
  • Deep understanding of analog and power circuitry such as amplifiers, DC-DC convertors, ADC/DACs.
  • Demonstrate in depth PCB design. Knowledge of PCB manufacturing technologies, and DFM. Engage with PCB/PCBA vendors for a successful PCB fabrication/assembly.
  • Knowledge of system level aspects of low power and high-power design and the ability to model and analyze power at system and core level. Provide power projection of end-to-end use cases for the future projects and establish power targets for the end-to-end system as well as SoC cores.
  • Experience in usage of lab equipment including Spectrum Analyzers, Signal Generators, Oscilloscopes, Multimeters and DC Power Supplies
  • Demonstrated experience building successful Hardware PCBA and end products.
  • Demonstrates strong design and test skills.
  • Expertise in board level simulation including power and signal integrity for high speed interfaces is highly desired
  • Solid foundation in Electrical Engineering
  • Excellent analytical skills and drive to complete projects
  • Knowledge and skill in generating and executing Test plans
  • Creating Test Automation with basic programming and scripting ability
  • Strong communication skills are a pre-requisite as the candidate will interface with cross-functional teams

What You’ll Bring

  • Excellent scripting skills using Python
  • Familiarity with Embedded board bring-up
  • BS in Electrical Engineering
  • 4+ years of experience directly related to the concept above
  • Excellent technical writing skills
