Hardware design engineer

As a hardware engineer in the design/product team, you will work on hardware modules and subsystems projects to build solutions for different type of high speed interfaces needed for switches, routers and other network elements needed.

You will be infused in a multidisciplinary team of engineers that are part of the full deploy of the design and guarantee all the goals are met with your new design. The team is composed of software/embedded engineers, mechanical design engineers, CAD layout engineers and manufacturing teams to deliver the highest quality product to be deployed.

Teams from manufacturing side will be making sure the design can be manufacturable and yield high with adequate cost structure.

Responsibilities

• Design modules and subassemblies that are needed to different network products.

• Bring up the new design and execute engineering validation in the lab with the set up and built of adequate test benches.

• Capture the requirements, define high level architecture, execute hardware design and product validation.

• Work closely with other functions such: engineering, manufacturing, product, and deployment teams to productize designs and field support.

• Drive product from concept to production.

Minimum qualifications:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, or related field or equivalent practical experience.

• Board design and validation experience.

• Experience with design tools: schematic entry, layout tools, lab bring up and debug.

• Experience with high speed design, signal integrity and power distribution techniques.

Preferred qualifications:

• MS in a related field.

• with proven experience with sophisticated hardware design.

Experience:

• Experience with FPGA/CPLD Design and work with other subject areas, including software, signal integrity, thermal and mechanical.

• Develop models for different geometries that will be used in high speed architectures through 2D and 3D wave solving tools such: CST, HFSS in addition to ADS

• Design et develop test solutions to measure and characterize high speed geometries using PLTS (Physical Layer Test System), VNA/PNA(Vector Network Analyzer),TDR/TDT(Time Domaine Reflectometry and Transmission)

• Knowledge with PCIe, DDR4/5 memory interfaces, I2C, SPI, and other industry standard interfaces

• Demonstrated expertise in solving complex system issues, technical innovation and drive technical roadmap.

• Methodical and organized. Collects and organizes details to reproduce results and explain what happened.

• Excellent verbal and written communications skills
