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
