    Job Title: Electrical Engineer

    Job Description

    As an Electrical Engineer, you will design, layout, and route digital, analog, and RF printed circuit boards (PCBs). Your responsibilities will include component creation, circuit design, schematic capture, constraint setup, PCB stack-up design, and design rule checking. You will model high-speed digital, analog, and RF paths, including signal and power integrity analyses, and perform timing analyses on speed-critical circuits such as signal and clock distributions. Additionally, you will lead design trade studies to ensure the best components, technologies, and innovations are utilized to meet performance, reliability, cost, and scalability requirements. Collaborating with hardware, software, and systems engineering teams, you will drive the development of PCBs, subsystems, and assemblies. Adherence to design for manufacturing (DFM) principles and working closely with the production team to improve manufacturability and producibility will be key aspects of your role. You will also perform bench-level board measurements, data collections, and represent the company at technical reviews and formal design reviews. Staying current with PCB industry innovations and trends is essential.
