Responsibilities

Core Responsibilities 

• Design circuit at transistor, op-amp, and low-level discrete components level using EDA tools like Cadence or SPICE to meet strict bandwidth, noise, and power constraints. 

• Have a good understanding of FPGA, CPLD, and MCU to be able to incorporate them in the designs.  

• Design power supplies required for the system 

• Create Spice simulation and test benches for power supplies and control circuits. 

• Create schematics and work with PCB layout group to design PC boards by providing physical and electrical constraints. 

• Review and edit the layout to ensure the circuit design meets target performance. 

• Evaluate and select new components such as power supplies, power FETs, Clocks, glue logic IC, control chips, etc. 

• Collaborate with internal firmware/software teams on implementing board level and circuit block diagnostics. 

• Design test plan, bring up, and EDVT 

• Bring up, test, and debug new PCB hardware. 

• Document test results and lead design review with cross functional groups. 

Qualifications

• MS degree in Electrical Engineering with minimum 5 years of experience (or equivalent) preferred in laser applications such as data communication systems or similar fields.  However, various levels will be considered. 

• Must have experience in board level circuit design, simulation and hands-on test and board bring up.

• Experience with DAC, ADC, IDAC, Op-amp, switching power supplies, LDO, and other signal conditioning circuits and components.  

• Proficiency in Cadence Allegro: edit the layout as an example for the layout group to implement changes. This improves feedback efficiency. 

• Strong Knowledge in signal and power integrity for high-speed PCB designs for network applications. 

• Understanding the PCB fab and assembly processes for engineering protos.
