About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline and at least 7 years of electrical and circuit board design experience.
  • Hands-on experience taking complex electronics through architecture, schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, validation, and production.
  • Experience designing high-density, mixed-signal printed circuit boards incorporating application processors or microcontrollers, high-speed memory, power delivery, battery and charging circuitry, and wired and wireless technologies in compact, highly integrated, battery-powered hardware.
  • Advanced knowledge of schematic design, PCB stack-up, grounding, component placement, high-speed routing, signal integrity, power integrity, and electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic compatibility.
  • Demonstrated expertise designing high-speed interfaces such as DDR, PCIe, USB, Ethernet, and MIPI, or similar technologies.
  • Strong understanding of power architecture, including DC/DC converters, LDOs, battery-powered systems, charging circuitry, power sequencing, and low-power design.
  • Hands-on experience with Cadence OrCAD and Allegro or comparable professional schematic and PCB design tools.
  • Experience designing rigid, flex, or rigid-flex printed circuit boards within demanding mechanical, thermal, and form-factor constraints.
  • Strong hands-on board bring-up and debugging experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, and related test equipment.
  • Proven experience taking hardware through SP, EVT, DVT, PVT, certification, manufacturing ramp, and mass production.
  • Experience designing electronics to meet U.S. and international hardware, wireless, electromagnetic compatibility, and safety requirements.
  • Proficiency partnering with contract manufacturers, original design manufacturers, joint design manufacturers, printed circuit board fabricators, and geographically distributed engineering teams.
  • Willingness and flexibility to travel domestically and internationally up to 40% of the time, based on business and team needs.

Responsibilities

  • Own detailed mixed-signal schematic design for application processors, microcontrollers, memory, power management, battery charging, audio modules, sensors, and high-speed digital interfaces.
  • Drive complex, high-density printed circuit board designs from architecture through layout and release, including layer stack-up, component placement, routing strategy, grounding, and design reviews.
  • Design for robust signal and power integrity across high-speed digital interfaces, sensitive analog circuitry, power rails, and mixed-signal systems.
  • Lead component selection, power-tree design, battery and charging architecture, design calculations, derating, and electrical tradeoff analysis.
  • Partner with Mechanical and Industrial Design to optimize board shape, component placement, connectors, antennas, thermal performance, and overall form factor.
  • Lead board bring-up, characterization, validation, and root-cause analysis using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, and related laboratory equipment.
  • Own bills of materials, design documentation, design reviews, verification, manufacturing test requirements, and electrical readiness through SP, EVT, DVT, PVT, certification, and mass production.
  • Provide technical direction and design-review support to electrical engineers and external design partners, establishing scalable electrical engineering standards and best practices.
  • Own the electrical design, development, and validation of complex, highly integrated hardware for mission-critical connected devices across the hardware lifecycle, from system architecture and component selection through schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, validation, certification, and mass production.
  • Work closely with RF, Mechanical, Firmware, and Manufacturing teams to address signal integrity, power integrity, board architecture, thermal constraints, electromagnetic interference and compatibility, and form factor.
