RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Design and support multilayer PCB assemblies for high-speed optical hardware, including power delivery, signal routing, and connector/interface selection
• Assist with schematic capture and PCB layout under senior engineering guidance, applying controlled impedance routing and signal integrity best practices
• Support board bring-up, electrical validation, and lab debugging for prototype and production hardware
• Perform signal integrity validation using lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, VNAs, TDR, logic analyzers) and correlate measurements to design intent
• Support development of evaluation platforms for new silicon, interconnect, and photonic components
• Contribute to end-of-line test infrastructure, including test fixture design, firmware flashing workflows, and automated validation sequences • Work cross-functionally with firmware, mechanical, optical, and manufacturing engineering teams to ensure electrical designs support system integration and production scalability
• Support electrical documentation, including schematics, BOMs, assembly drawings, and test procedures
QUALIFICATIONS:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related discipline
• 2+ years of experience designing or validating hardware systems (internships or substantive project experience considered)
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Altium or equivalent)
• Foundational understanding of signal integrity, controlled impedance routing, and high-speed PCB design principles
• Hands-on experience with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, spectrum analyzers)
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills • Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as needed
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
• Experience with high-speed digital interfaces (e.g., SerDes, PCIe, Ethernet, LVDS, or MIPI)
• Familiarity with firmware flashing and debug workflows (JTAG, SWD, ISP)
• Exposure to automated test or manufacturing environments, including test fixture development or production test integration
• Scripting or data analysis experience (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for test automation or measurement post-processing
• Experience with power integrity analysis, PDN design, or power supply selection and validation
• Familiarity with EMC/EMI design practices and regulatory compliance considerations
• Experience with rigid-flex or high-density interconnect (HDI) PCB design
• Familiarity with configuration management and revision control for electrical designs
