• 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.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of relevant Electrical/Hardware Design experience .
• Strong experience in mixed-signal analog and digital design .
• Hands-on experience with high-speed PCB design , including DDR3/DDR4, PCIe, and QSPI.

• Experience with FPGA, ARM, and/or RISC-V-based systems .
• Strong understanding of signal integrity and EMI/EMC .
• Experience with I2C, SPI, UART, RS485, CAN, USB, and Ethernet .
• Hands-on experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, VNAs, and spectrum analyzers .
• Strong schematic development and PCB design experience.
• Experience with Xpedition or comparable enterprise PCB/EDA tools .
• Strong hardware troubleshooting and board-level debugging skills.
• Experience leading technical design reviews and mentoring engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in aerospace, automotive, medical device, semiconductor, or other highly regulated industries .
• Experience with board bring-up and hardware validation.
• Knowledge of thermal management and component derating.
• Experience with FCC, CE, automotive, or aerospace compliance requirements.
• Experience with DDR5, PCIe Gen4+ , or power-integrity analysis.
• FPGA board bring-up experience.
