Circuit Design
Own detailed mixed-signal schematic design across application processors, microcontrollers, memory, power management, battery charging, audio modules, sensors, and high-speed digital interfaces.
- PCB Design & Layout: Drive complex, high-density PCB designs from architecture through layout and release, including layer stack-up, component placement, routing strategy, grounding, and design reviews.
Power Integrity
Design for robust signal and power integrity across high-speed digital interfaces, sensitive analog circuitry, power rails, and mixed-signal systems.
Power Architecture
Lead component selection, power-tree design, battery/charging architecture, design calculations, derating, and electrical tradeoff analysis.
Mechanical Integration
Partner closely with Mechanical and Industrial Design to optimize board shape, component placement, connectors, antennas, thermal performance, and overall form factor.
- Bring-Up & Debugging: Lead board bring-up, characterization, validation, and root-cause analysis using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, and related laboratory equipment.
Production Readiness
Own BOMs, design documentation, design reviews, verification, manufacturing test requirements, and electrical readiness through SP/EVT/DVT/PVT, certification, and mass production.
Technical Leadership
Provide technical direction and design review support to electrical engineers and external design partners, establishing scalable electrical engineering standards and best practices.
What You Bring
- 7+ years of electrical and circuit board design experience and a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
- Deep hands-on experience taking complex electronics from architecture -> schematic capture -> PCB layout -> bring-up -> validation -> production.
- Strong experience designing high-density, mixed-signal PCBs incorporating application processors or MCUs, high-speed memory, power delivery, battery/charging circuitry, and wired and wireless into compact, highly integrated, battery-powered hardware.
- Advanced knowledge of schematic design, PCB stack-up, grounding, component placement, high-speed routing, signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC.
- Demonstrated expertise designing high-speed interfaces such as DDR, PCIe, USB, Ethernet, MIPI, or similar technologies.
- Strong understanding of power architecture, including DC/DC converters, LDOs, battery-powered systems, charging circuitry, power sequencing, and low-power design.
- Hands-on experience with Cadence OrCAD and Allegro or comparable professional schematic and PCB design tools.
- Experience designing rigid, flex, or rigid-flex PCBs within demanding mechanical, thermal, and form-factor constraints.
- Strong hands-on bring-up and debugging experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, and related test equipment.
