Job Description

Senior Hardware Design Engineer responsible for the development of DIMM and custom memory module designs for leading-edge, high-performance server and embedded applications. This job provides the opportunity to work closely with the customers, engineering, manufacturing and test groups. The job requires analytical problem-solving skill, ability to work independently and on multiple projects

Responsibilities:

• Perform high-speed (10GHz and above) PCB hardware design engineering tasks, including writing design specifications, schematic capture, component selection, collaborating with layout engineers for PCB design, and conducting post-layout SI/PI simulations.
• Validate designs in the lab to ensure compliance with design requirements.
• Conduct research as needed to define, specify, and develop products.
• Perform root-cause analysis to identify issues arising from testing or customer returns.
• Provide recommendations for product and process improvements and corrections.
• Foster positive relationships with engineering, manufacturing, and test teams.

Qualifications:

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent education and experience.
• 7+ years of professional experience in high-speed interface work.
• Strong understanding of electrical engineering principles, analog/digital circuits, and power electronics.
• Experience with schematic capture using Orcad CIS and working with a centralized part library and design processes.
• Familiarity with Cadence PCB layout tools and experience in design release, collaborating with layout engineers to determine component placement, routing topology, and design constraints.
• Solid understanding of PCB design best practices, including stack-up design and impedance control.
• Experience with post-layout simulations, including signal integrity (SI) and timing analysis, as well as power integrity (PI) simulation.
• Proficient in using high-speed oscilloscopes and logic analyzers for bring-up, Design Validation Testing (DVT), and troubleshooting.
• Working knowledge of JEDEC DDR3/DDR4/DDR5 standards.
• Strong communication skills, both verbal and written, with internal team members and customers, demonstrating logical thinking and a proactive problem-solving approach.
