Mid-level to Senior. Typical experience: ~2+ years in hardware engineering (preferred 3+); 2+ years of circuit design experience is common for this role.
Responsibilities
Primary duties include design, verification, test and manufacturing support for hardware products.
- Plan, optimize, verify and test electronic systems including digital, analog, RF, optical, FPGA and/or DSP subsystems.
- Perform bring-up and yield improvement activities; develop solutions to improve test time and product quality.
- Integrate features and functionality into hardware designs per proposals or roadmaps.
- Conduct simulations and analyses and implement designs with attention to power, performance and area trade-offs.
- Evaluate and develop manufacturing/test solutions and characterize reliability of materials and techniques.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, verification, validation, software, architecture, manufacturing) to implement requirements.
- Document technical work and communicate results to stakeholders.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and behaviors.
- Experience with circuit design (digital, analog, RF) and practical hardware debugging.
- Proficiency with schematic capture and circuit simulation tools.
- Hands-on use of hardware test and measurement instruments (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, RF tools, etc.).
- Ability to run simulations, analyze results, and implement design trade-offs for power, performance and area.
- Experience collaborating across engineering teams and supporting production programs.
- Strong technical writing, verbal communication, and ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
- Nice-to-have: experience with FPGA/DSP systems, manufacturing automation/optimization, and test system development.
Education Requirements
Minimum: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering or a related field with ~2+ years of hardware engineering experience; OR Master's degree in those fields with ~1+ year of hardware engineering experience; OR PhD in a related field. Preferred: Master's degree and ~3+ years of hardware engineering or related experience.
