The Senior Engineering Designer should have a detailed and proven track record successfully completing the layout of Digital and RF CCA's. Experience implementing 10+ multi-layer, low loss, spread glass, state-of-the-art high-speed PCBs with experience designing with large FPGAs, state-of-the-art microprocessors, 10 to 25Gbps differential signaling. DDR-3/4/5 memory, Flash memory, PCIe-3/4/5, Ethernet 10/100/1000, USB 2.0/3.0, SD card, RS-232, RS-422, I2C, SPI interfaces including features like UARTs, audio, video, GPS, etc. A knowledge of switching and linear power supplies is preferred. Low inductance/across frequency PDN design knowledge is a must. This engineer should be very familiar with high-speed channel tuning and simulation (i.e., via impedance tuning, press-fit connector attach impedance tuning and crosstalk minimization, precision many / multi-depth via back-drill technology, all aspects of 3D interconnect channel design and analysis).
Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities:
• In-depth experience with design, analysis, testing, and documentation of state-of-the-art Circuit Card Assemblies (CCA).
• In-depth experience with schematic design using Altium Designer.
• Specifies highly optimized PCB stackups based on the latest low loss materials and glass styles.
• Supports the development circuit, component, subsystem, and equipment interfaces and procurement specifications.
• Supports the design of digital, analog or radio frequency circuits, components, and subsystems.
• Follows and creates detailed and comprehensive electrical layout rules based on proven statistically significant empirical data.
• Prepares design specifications, analyses and recommendations.
• Recommends test control, strategies, apparatus and equipment.
• Supports the interfaces with customers, suppliers, and contractors.
• Supports the evaluation of vendor capabilities to provide required products or services.
• Conducts in-house SI/PI design reviews and technical meetings.
• Monitors project status and progress.
• Keeps abreast of improvements in electronic engineering SI/PI techniques.
• Assists in routine and regular SI/PI team up-level training.
• Support prototype construction, debug, and tests.
• May provide technical direction and guidance to Design Engineers, Technicians, or Design Support personnel assigned to work on a common project.
Minimum Job Requirements:
Four-year college degree in Electrical Engineering, plus 5 years of related experience, or an applicable Master's degree with 3 years of related experience.
