Role & responsibilities

Design Ownership:

• Lead the complete hardware design process, including architecture definition, circuit design, schematic capture, and PCB layout for high-speed digital and mixed-signal boards.

High-Speed Design:

• Perform schematic and board-level design for high-speed protocols such as PCIe Gen4/Gen5, DDR4/DDR5, USB 4.0, and MIPI.

Simulation & Analysis:

• Perform Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), and thermal analysis to ensure design reliability.

Lab Validation:

• Lead board bring-up, troubleshooting, and debugging using advanced lab equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers).

Cross-functional Collaboration:

• Work closely with Firmware, Software, FPGA, and QA teams to ensure successful system integration and EMI/EMC compliance.

Documentation:

• Prepare detailed design specifications, Bill of Materials (BOM), and validation reports.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical/Electronics/Communication Engineering or related field from a reputed institute.
• 6–10 years of progressive experience in board-level design within the semiconductor industry.
• Proficiency in high-density/high-speed design including FPGAs, SerDes, PCIe Gen4/Gen5, UFS 4.0, 10/100 GigE, C-PHY/D-PHY, and USB 3.2.
• Experience interfacing high-speed memories such as DDR4/DDR5, RDIMM, and SODIMM modules.
• Strong experience in system integration, schematic design, and PCB layout using industry-standard tools such as SPICE, Altium, or Cadence.
• Hands-on experience in hardware validation, board bring-up, and troubleshooting using advanced laboratory equipment.
• Experience in Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) analysis, including high-speed analog simulations using tools such as HFSS, SIwave, ADS, and HyperLynx.
• Hands-on experience with 33GHz and 50GHz oscilloscopes and GHz pattern generators for protocol capture, timing, and eye diagram analysis.
• Strong collaboration skills to work with RTL, Software, and Quality teams for system-level debugging and integration.
• Good verbal and written communication skills with the ability to prepare documentation as per organizational standards.

Soft Skills:

• Strong leadership, mentoring, and project management capabilities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and presentations.
