HIGH-SPEED HARDWARE ENGINEER

Youll own a high-speed digital board from start to finish. It runs at 9 Gbps and up, and several of its parts are going end of life, so the job is to swap them out, update the schematics and prove the new version performs just like the old one. The board material may change too, which puts even more weight on validation. Your time splits about evenly between design and hands-on lab work, so youre never stuck at a desk or on a bench all year. Update schematics and pick replacement parts for components going end of life without giving up high-speed performance.

Weigh board material and stack-up changes against their effect on high-speed performance.

Design and review power supplies and power distribution for low-noise high-speed circuits.

-----

BSEE or a similar engineering degree.

~Strong high-speed digital design fundamentals across everything but layout, including SERDES and signal and power integrity.

Power supply design.
