Sr Hardware Design Engineer
Core
Develop next-generation 6G prototype platforms and high-performance hardware modules, taking high-speed digital designs from schematic architecture through physical PCB layout and lab testing.
Role type
Senior Hardware Design Engineer
Builds
6G prototype platforms and high-performance hardware modules
Domain
Telecommunications / High-speed digital hardware
Required skills
Schematic capture, PCB layout, BOM management, high-speed digital routing, hardware debugging, lab test equipment usage, Signal Integrity collaboration, Power Integrity collaboration, documentation
Preferred skills
High-speed digital board design principles, multi-layer PCB design, schematic capture tools, simulation software, professional PCB layout software suites, high-speed interface protocols
Technologies
Hyperlynx, LTspice, Siemens/Mentor Xpedition, Cadence Allegro, Ethernet, PCIe, DDR, USB, I2C, SPI
Responsibilities
Drive schematic capture, select hardware components, and manage complex bills of materials (BOMs) for multi-layer digital designs. Oversee and actively participate in the physical PCB layout process, ensuring strict compliance with high-speed digital routing rules and constraints. Perform physical board bring-up, debugging, and functional characterization of prototype hardware in the lab. Utilize lab test equipment (e.g., high-bandwidth digital oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters) to isolate and troubleshoot hardware issues. Collaborate with internal Signal Integrity and Power Integrity teams to optimize layout topologies for high-speed buses. Document detailed test plans, validation reports, and hardware engineering change orders (ECOs).
