• 11+ years of electrical engineering work experience in consumer electronics, power electronics, robotics, aerospace, automotive, and/or communications fields
• Familiarity with hardware engineering principles including requirements gathering, architecture/design, source control management, build processes, reviews, and testing methods.
• Solid understanding of high-speed board design, simulation, and validation techniques.
• Excellent teamwork and communication skills
• Learns new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
• High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints
• Experience with Schematic Capture and Board Layout using ECAD tools  (Altium Designer, Allegro, ORCAD etc)

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering
• 6+ years of experience designing and implementing mixed-signal circuit boards from concept through production using processors, FPGAs, Ethernet, multi-GHz Serdes, DRAM interfaces (DDR4), I2C, SPI, PCIE, RF-sampling ADCS/DACs (or RF transceiver modules), and power supply components
• 2+ years of experience in the full life cycle development (concept to production) of new hardware products
• Expertise in one or more of the following areas preferred: Signal Integrity, Thermal and/or EM simulations of board designs
• Hands-on experience designing heterogeneous computing platforms with various compute engines such as SoCs, FPGAs, GPUs, and MCUs interacting with a wide variety of peripherals and storage media (flash, DDR, SSDs, SD cards) over different high-speed serial and parallel interfaces 
• Experience with high-speed transceivers (ADCs, DACs, mixed-signal modules) over JESD204 interfaces preferred
• Bonus points for having experience in designing daughter cards or base-boards with Xilinx/Intel FPGAs
• Proficient with design techniques to maintain signal integrity in high-density, high-speed designs
• Experience with RF and split analog/digital designs
• Experience with low-noise design and minimization of EMI/EMC
• Experience with complex board designs, such as high-speed interconnects, high-reliability designs, avionics, vehicle control systems, and/or motor & actuator control electronics
• Bonus points for experience in the development and test of satellite bus systems and space/flight hardware
• Experience with compliance testing or various regulatory requirements.
• Experience in silicon (on-chip) and package power delivery network principles
• Experience using simulation tools such as ANSYS, CST, HFSS, Hspice, ADS, Hyperlynx, etc.
• Experience using one or more analog simulation tools such as Cadence (Spectre), OrCAD, PSPICE, LTspice, etc.
