Senior Board Design Lead

The Intel NEX Cloud Networking team is seeking a Senior Board Design Lead to design and develop digital and analog circuit boards for HW-Engineering products. This role involves leading a team, hands-on design from schematic through Silicon power-on debug, identifying new hardware solutions, and resolving design issues. The position requires expertise in high-speed I/O protocols such as PCIe, DDR5, and PAM4 Ethernet, along with strong skills in signal and power integrity, RF circuits, and electromagnetic wave propagation.

Must Have

• Lead a team of developers and work hands-on to design and develop digital and analog circuit boards for HW-Engineering products.
• Develop board design from schematic through Silicon power-on debug.
• Identify new hardware solutions, providing technical leadership to resolve hardware, schematics, layout, DFx issues.
• Manage part/component selection.
• Understand the specification of each interface and required design limitations.
• Requires high-frequency signal and power integrity and a good understanding of RF circuits and electromagnetic wave propagation.
• B.Sc./M.Sc. Electrical Engineer with over 10 years of relevant experience in hardware/board design.
• 4+ years as a team lead, including planning and design-flows buildup.
• Experience with PCB technology and layout (Analog and Digital) including stack-up, placement, routing, and SI/PI.
• Lab work experience in high accuracy signals measurement.
• Excellent debugging skills, ability to analyze problems, diagnose the root cause and apply corrective action.
• Familiar with layout technics.
• FPGA and Verilog coding skills.
• Test measurement instrument hands-on operation.
• Programming knowledge and experience.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in English.
• Comprehensive understanding of system architecture.

Perks & Benefits

• Hybrid work model (allows employees to split their time between working on-site at their assigned Intel site and off-site)

Intel NEX Cloud Networking team delivers best-in-class Ethernet products and is at the heart of Intel's transformation from a PC company to a company that powers the cloud and billions of smart, connected computing-devices.

You will be exposed to High-Speed I/O protocols such as PCIe, DDR5, and PAM4 Ethernet, which are a part of our Ethernet Infrastructure Processing Unit (Intel IPU) and Foundation NIC (FNIC) Ethernet product lines.

In this position:

• You will lead a team of developers and also work hands-on to design and develop digital and analog circuit boards for HW-Engineering products.
• Develop board design from schematic through Silicon power-on debug and may interface with other board design and test module development teams to drive innovation initiatives.
• Identifying new hardware solutions, providing technical leadership to working groups/task forces to resolve hardware, schematics, layout, DFx issues through debugging and reviews, and part/component selection management.
• learning the specification of each interface and the required design limitations that should be verified.
• requires high-frequency signal and power integrity and a good understanding of RF circuits and electromagnetic wave propagation.

Qualifications:

• B.Sc./M.Sc. Electrical Engineer with over 10 years of relevant experience in hardware/board design.
