  • Lead the design, development and implementation of technical solutions for complex projects, involving multiple domains. Participate in project planning and scheduling.
  • Global SME with comprehensive knowledge and industry recognition. Provides technical leadership and direction to a global team of engineers.
  • Takes responsibility for non-technical elements of an engineering project (people, financials etc.)
  • Reviews and interprets customer specifications and may act as primary customer contact.
  • Analyze trade-offs in complex systems and recommend solutions. Develop deployment strategies and plans.
  • Lead the deployment of strategic technologies/programs and coordinate global deployment efforts.
  • May manage relationships with key vendors/partners.
  • Design, modify and implement systems that meet customer and Celestica needs. E.g. creation of Schematics, Bills of material, diagrams, drawings, etc.
  • Testing, simulation and measuring (including troubleshooting) the performance of systems
  • Keep up to date with relevant industry knowledge and regulations
  • Solve complex problems
  • Liaison with suppliers, customers, contractors, and other internal teams.
  • Analyze and interpret data and information

Knowledge/Skills/Competencies

  • Expert in PCB design fundamentals, including single-ended and differential signals.
  • Proficient in managing signal integrity challenges such as signal loss, impedance control, and crosstalk (near-end and far-end).
  • Extensive experience with single-ended and differential signaling up to 50Gbps.
  • Skilled in working with component models (Touchstone files) and cascading them to create comprehensive system models for simulation.
  • Experienced in simulating digital interfaces (FPGA to DRAM, SERDES) and analog paths (PCB, connector, cable from signal driver to DUT).
  • Proficient with 2D and 3D simulation tools (e.g., ADS, ANSYS HFSS, Sigrity).
  • Capable of electrical length calculations for signal matching.
  • Familiar with interpreting signals in both frequency (S-parameter) and time domains to assess suitability for applications.
  • Highly proficient in generating and interpreting data-eye diagrams up to 50Gbps for NRZ and PAM4.
  • Proficient with Allegro or similar layout tools and schematics.
  • Expertise in PCB stack-up design, considering fabrication limitations and cost trade-offs.
