Key Responsibilities
\n
- \n
- Design and develop mixed-signal analog and digital hardware.
- Develop high-speed PCB designs involving DDR3/DDR4, PCIe, and QSPI interfaces with strict impedance-control requirements.
- Design complex power-tree architectures, including DC-DC buck/boost regulators, LDOs, and power sequencing.
- Architect systems using ARM Cortex-M, RISC-V processors, microcontrollers, and FPGAs.
- Analyze and resolve signal integrity, power integrity, noise, crosstalk, and EMI/EMC issues.
- Work with communication protocols including I2C, SPI, UART, RS485, CAN, USB, and Ethernet.
- Perform hands-on hardware validation and debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, VNAs, and spectrum analyzers.
- Perform component-level troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, component derating, and thermal-management analysis.
- Develop schematics and PCB designs using enterprise-level EDA tools, preferably Xpedition.
- Lead design reviews and provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior and mid-level engineers.
- Collaborate closely with firmware, software, mechanical, and cross-functional engineering teams.
- Support architectural trade-off analysis, component selection, project planning, and technical decision-making.
