We are seeking a Digital Electrical Design Engineer with extensive experience in board-level digital design, high-speed interfaces, and embedded systems. In this role, youll be a technical lighthouse within our Hardware R&D team-guiding complex, high-speed digital designs from concept through production. Youll collaborate closely with firmware engineers, system architects, and other cross-functional teams spread across multiple global sites. While prior quantum or cryogenic experience isnt required, an interest in learning about these cutting-edge fields is a plus.
Key Responsibilities:
Digital Board-Level Design: Architect, design, and implement advanced digital solutions involving FPGAs, microcontrollers, and high-speed communication interfaces (multi-GHz range).
High-Speed Signal Integrity: Develop and validate clocking solutions up to the tens of GHz range and handle GT lines to ensure robust, reliable performance.
End-to-End Development: Own the entire hardware lifecycle-from concept and schematic design in Altium to layout review, testing, and production release.
Design for Manufacturing & Test (DFM/DFT): Integrate manufacturing and testing considerations into your designs, collaborating with supply chain and production teams to ensure scalability and cost-effectiveness.
Technical Collaboration: Work closely with firmware engineers, system architects, and cross-site R&D teams to ensure seamless hardware-firmware integration.
Remote Coordination: Engage in significant remote collaboration with minimal travel, leveraging Agile and Kanban methodologies for project execution.
Subject Matter Expert: Serve as a go-to resource for digital design best practices, helping to maintain high engineering standards across the organization.
Requirements: 10+ years of hands-on experience in digital electronics design (board-level), focusing on FPGA-based systems, microcontroller integration, and/or high-speed communication.
Demonstrated expertise in high-speed signal integrity, including multi-GHz clocks and GT lines.
Proficiency with Altium or similar PCB design tools.
Understanding of Agile and/or Kanban methodologies in a hardware development context.
Proven track record of taking products from concept through production, including schematic design, layout oversight, and system bring-up.
Experience with DFM and DFT principles, plus involvement in supply chain and production processes.
Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to collaborate across geographical boundaries.
B.Sc. or higher degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Personal Attributes:
Passionate Technologist: Thrives on complex challenges and cutting-edge design work.
Team Player: Enjoys collaborating with global, cross-functional teams in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
Independent & Proactive: Takes ownership of responsibilities, drives initiatives forward, and maintains a can-do attitude.
Adaptable: Comfortable with uncertainty and rapidly evolving priorities in a matrix organization.
This position is open to all candidates.
