Seeking a skilled and motivated Electrical Design and Analysis Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team in Pleasanton, CA. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in PCB design and a passion for developing innovative electronic solutions. Designs typically include microprocessors, microcontrollers, FPGAs & CPLDs, power conversion, and various mixed-signal sub-circuits. This role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to design prototype, and test printed circuit boards for various applications.
Position Responsibilities:
• Design and develop printed circuit boards (PCBs) for electronic products, ensuring compliance with industry standards and specifications
• Work closely with internal and external customers to gather and define design requirements, ensuring that their needs and expectations are met throughout the design process
• Specify the stack-up dimensions and the desired electrical characteristics of the circuit board, part selection, design tradeoff analysis, and the final assembly of the Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA)
• Collaborate with program management to develop project schedules, estimates, and resource allocation for PCB design projects
• Utilize PCB design software (e.g., Siemens Xpedition) to create schematics and perform analysis of layouts
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to define design requirements and specifications
• Perform design reviews and provide constructive feedback to improve PCB designs
• Conduct signal integrity analysis and thermal analysis (Siemens Hyperlynx) to ensure optimal performance of PCB designs
• Work with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are manufacturable and cost-effective
• Create and maintain detailed documentation for PCB designs, including design files, assembly instructions, and test plans
• Support prototype assembly and testing, troubleshooting any issues that arise during the process
• Stay updated on industry trends, tools, and technologies related to PCB design and manufacturing
• Support sustaining engineering efforts on existing PCB and system-level products
Required Skills:
• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus in Electrical, Mechanical or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement
• 5+ years of experience in PCB design and PCB assembly, verification, debugging, troubleshooting, and repair
• Working knowledge with circuit design, schematic capture, and analysis with Mentor Graphics or other PCB design software
• Working knowledge with industry standard electronic interfaces, including DDR3, DDR4, PCIe, I2C, SPI/QSPI, and JTAG
• Working knowledge in VHDL/Verilog Hardware Description Languages
• Proficient in simulation, modeling, and analysis of electronic hardware
Preferred Skills:
• 10+ years of experience in PCB design and PCB assembly, verification, debugging, troubleshooting, and repair
• Expert level in VHDL/Verilog Hardware Description Languages
• Extensive knowledge and experience with PCIe, DDR, I2C, SPI, and Quad SPI protocols and interfaces
• Expert level in simulation, modeling, and analysis of electronic hardware
• Experience with FPGA design and tools
• Strong verbal and written communication skills to effectively convey technical information to team members, customers, and stakeholders
Education / Experience:
Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 9 or more years' related work experience (e.g. PhD+4 years' related work experience, Master+7 years' related work experience). In the USA, ABET accreditation is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.
Benefits offered to vary by the contract. Depending on your temporary assignment, benefits may include direct deposit, free career counseling services, 401(k), select paid holidays, short-term disability insurance, skills training, employee referral bonus, affordable medical coverage plan, and DailyPay (in some locations).
