About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Design, develop, and validate complex embedded computing and industrial hardware platforms
  • Design and implement high-speed digital circuits and subsystems based on modern CPUs, SoCs, FPGAs, and advanced interconnect technologies
  • Own the design and integration of high-speed interfaces including DDR4 & DDR5 memory subsystems, PCI Express Gen4 & Gen5, USB 3.x & USB4, DisplayPort, and high-speed Ethernet & SerDes-based interfaces
  • Perform schematic capture, circuit design reviews, and support bring-up of complex multi-layer PCB designs
  • Define PCB stack-ups, routing constraints, and layout guidelines for high-speed designs
  • Perform and review Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) simulations using industry-standard tools such as Cadence Sigrity or equivalent
  • Develop and execute pre-layout and post-layout simulation strategies, including eye-diagram analysis, jitter analysis, channel compliance, and power distribution network analysis
  • Collaborate closely with PCB layout engineers to optimize critical signal paths, impedance control, return current structures, and power distribution networks
  • Support electrical validation, debugging, root-cause analysis, and performance optimization in laboratory environments
  • Develop scripts and automation tools to improve simulation, analysis, and validation workflows
  • Support customer projects by providing simulation expertise, design reviews, technical recommendations, and issue resolution
