Senior Electronic Designer (High Speed Electronics)

Reports to: Chief Technology Officer

This engineering position focuses on the design of digital (MCU, CPU, FPGA, GPU), mixed-signal and power-tree electronics. The role includes schematic capture, high-speed PCB layout, design verification, prototyping, and preparation of documentation for manufacturing. The successful candidate will translate system-level requirements into PCB-level designs while ensuring performance, manufacturability, and compliance with EMC/EMI and signal-integrity best practices. The role also involves collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver complete electronic products.

- Translate system-level requirements into PCB design-level requirements.
- Design and develop schematic captures and PCB layouts for digital, mixed-signal, and power circuits.
- Apply and mitigate EMC/EMI issues during the design phase.
- Create, assemble, and validate PCB prototypes.
- Optimize electronic designs considering technological capabilities, cost, and performance.
- Perform design for manufacturability (DFM) analysis on PCB designs.
- Prepare fabrication documentation and verify manufacturing files against supplier capabilities.
- Apply high-speed design principles including transmission lines, impedance control, and termination strategies.
- Collaborate with engineers from related disciplines (mechanical, optical, and software) to ensure system integration.
- Use ECAD tools for PCB development and perform signal-integrity analysis when required.
- Support testing, debugging, and validation using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and vector network analyzers.
- Maintain project documentation and manage design data within version control systems.

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering or a related field, with coursework in electromagnetics, digital electronics, mixed-signal circuits, and power electronics.
