Role: HW Design and PCB Reliability Engineer

Location: Boise, ID (Remote)

Duration: C2H/C2C

• Interface in cross functional teams to ensure the design meets all firmware, diagnostic and system level requirements.
• Participate in architecture definition, design reviews, requirements generation of SSD products.
• Document and communicate results with cross functional counterparts.
• Simulate and analyze design proposals, review results, and provide recommendations on optimal design practices to other design engineers.
• Experienced in designing hardware for large scale manufacture, including DFx and low-cost considerations
• Hardware design, worst-case analysis, simulations, de-rating thru the product lifecycle.
• PCB back-end process: defining stack-up and via technologies, part placement, setting design constraints
• Works proactively with cross functional team members during design, verification as well as on RMAs
• In addition to design, a successful candidate will mentor and provide technical guidance to other hardware team members

• Self-motivated. Desire to take on challenges. Result-driven and details oriented.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills are a must.
• In depth knowledge in circuit designs, as well as semiconductor design.
• Good PCB design experience on high-speed signals routing guideline and review, power copper routing and review, design for EMI/ESD protection.
• Develops solutions to complex technical problems, which require ingenuity and creativity.
• Analog design using simulation e.g. SPICE (or equivalent) is a plus
• Practical experience with design tools:

• Cadence HDL for schematic capture and working closely with layout designers on the PCB physical design

• Practical lab analysis experience and the ability to diagnose a PCB failure down to the component level
