Digital Product Engineer

Job Title

Digital Product Engineer

Role Summary

Work within the Hardware Engineering team to plan, design, verify, and test electronic systems and support product bring-up and manufacturing. The role contributes to circuit-level design, validation, characterization, and integration of digital/analog/RF/FPGA/DSP systems for production programs.

Experience Level

Entry-level / Early career. Typical experience range: approximately 1–3 years of relevant hardware engineering experience.

Responsibilities

Principal duties include hands-on hardware design, verification, and production support across multiple domains.

• Plan, optimize, verify, and test electronic systems, including circuit and system bring-up and yield improvement.
• Integrate features and functionality into hardware designs per proposals or roadmaps.
• Perform simulations and analyses to meet targets for power, performance, and area.
• Collaborate with design, verification, validation, software, systems engineering, and architecture teams to implement requirements and test solutions.
• Develop and evaluate manufacturing and characterization solutions for leading-edge products.
• Assess reliability of materials and techniques; introduce automation and optimization to improve productivity.
• Identify potential design flaws, compatibility, or compliance issues and support mitigation.
• Produce detailed technical documentation for hardware projects.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and attributes required to perform the role.

• Practical hardware engineering experience with hands-on design, verification, or test of electronic systems.
• Experience with circuit design (digital, analog, or RF) and performing simulations and analyses.
• Familiarity with schematic capture and circuit simulation tools.
• Proficiency using hardware test and measurement instruments (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, RF tools, etc.).
• Experience in product bring-up, characterization, and manufacturing/test solution development.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Collaboration across cross-functional teams and ability to document technical work clearly.
• Nice-to-have: experience with FPGA/DSP systems, RF design, reliability evaluation, automation and test optimization.
