Platform Hardware Engineer

As a Platform Hardware Engineer, you will own or participate in platform design for chip bring-up boards and final systems. Responsibilities include developing specifications based on end-user requirements, schematic capture, board block design, defining routing constraints, layout review, simulation, lab bring-up, test, and debugging. You will also conduct power and signal integrity analysis, high-speed interface characterization, and resolve system-level issues related to silicon validation and characterization.

Must Have

• Knowledge of high-speed, high-power, system design
• Knowledge of defining routing constraints for high-speed interfaces
• Familiarity with board-level interfaces (I2C, SPI, DDR)
• Design and analysis of power supplies and power integrity
• Signal integrity analysis and measurement techniques
• CPU/SOC/Microcontroller system architecture expertise
• Test automation expertise using Python
• Board level analog and digital circuit design
• Excellent problem-solving skills
• Ability to work well in a team
