-
Perform PCB layout in Altium Designer, including DDR4 routing, high-speed serial (USB 3.x, PCIe, MIPI CSI/DSI, Gigabit Ethernet), and mixed-signal partitioning.
-
Own the power architecture: PMIC selection, rail sequencing, brown-out behavior, and low-noise rail planning for sensitive analog and high-speed digital.
-
Follow design-for-manufacturing (DFM), design-for-test (DFT), and EMC best practices to deliver high-quality production boards.
-
Drive boards from concept to production with minimal respins, balancing design rigor with schedule pressure.
-
Build reusable reference designs and design patterns that accelerate downstream product development across the platform.

BS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical degree.
-
3+ years of professional hardware design experience, with at least some years on Linux-class SoC boards.
-
Demonstrated single-owner experience on both schematic capture and PCB layout for production hardware.

Direct experience with DDR3 or DDR4 routing, signal integrity analysis, and timing closure.
-
Working knowledge of high-speed serial interfaces, including USB 3.x, PCIe Gen2/3, MIPI CSI/DSI, and Gigabit Ethernet.
-
Power architecture experience, including PMIC selection, rail sequencing, and low-noise rail design.
-
EMC/EMI design and pre-compliance debug experience.
Preferred qualifications
-
MS in Electrical Engineering.
-
7+ years of professional hardware design experience.
-
Direct experience with NXP i.MX 95 or comparable application-class SoCs (TI Sitara, Qualcomm, Renesas RZ).
-
Experience designing for Power over Ethernet (PoE / PoE+), and/or 100BaseT1 (Automotive 2 Wire Ethernet).
-
Experience with tablet size display technology.
-
Experience with high-volume hardware deployed in harsh environments (off-highway, agriculture, automotive, industrial).
