  • Provide expertise and support to validation teams with planning and execution

  • Work with customers on an as-needed basis to help deliver products

What we need to see:

  • 15+ years of experience in a rigorous technical hardware role interfacing with systems (HW system architecture, PCB design, mixed signal design, hardware validation, system verification, signal integrity, etc)

  • Deep understanding of system level (L11) power architecture tradeoffs

  • Knowledge and experience with modern optical communications (pluggables, CPO)

  • Strong signal/power integrity background with hands on lab experience (Oscilloscope, TDR, VNA)

Ways to Stand Out from the crowd:

  • Experience with applied ML frameworks, successful applications of AI/ML to hardware problems

  • Understanding of electrical vs mechanical tradeoffs

  • Proficiency with CAD simulation tools

  • Ability to think outside the box!
