Senior - requires 8+ years of related experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Architect and design high-performance PCB hardware and interfaces for advanced SOCs and packaging (2D, 2.5D, 3D memory).
• Create schematics, BOMs, board layouts, validation plans, and manufacturing documentation.
• Perform lab validation using oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, and other development tools; diagnose and resolve power, thermal, and signal-integrity issues.
• Lead cross-functional integration with ASIC, mechanical, thermal, packaging, diagnostics, and manufacturing teams.
• Support customer trials, field issue resolution, and sustaining activities post-release.
• Coordinate with vendors and manufacturing for component selection, negotiation, and production handoff.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and proven experience:

• Experience with large, high-power SOCs and advanced packaging technologies (2D, 2.5D, 3D memory).
• Proficiency with precision oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, and lab validation tools.
• Experience addressing power and thermal challenges on PCBs with 1kW+ power footprints.
• Experience with high-speed, high-density SerDes signaling at 112G+.
• Proven ability to participate and lead within cross-functional development teams.
• Experience working with support groups including Manufacturing, Compliance, and Safety.
