Digital HW Design Engineer, Data Center

As a Hardware Engineer in the IP Routing group, you will be responsible for the design of new switching and routing platforms for service provider and data center markets. This position requires a motivated and disciplined engineer who can manage complex board-level designs from concept through release to production. This position requires deep knowledge of high-speed digital design, and the ability to effectively drive and collaborate with a team of hardware, diagnostics, software, mechanical, thermal, signal integrity, power systems, manufacturing and manufacturing test engineers to bring new products from concept through production.

As a senior/principal hardware engineer, you will:

• Design cutting edge switching and routing platforms based on silicon from industry-leading suppliers.
• Drive and manage your design through the development process from concept to production release
• Perform detailed circuit design, schematic capture, and drive PCB layout for performance and manufacturability
• Verify prototype hardware signal quality, function, and operation under extended thermal and environmental conditions.
• Drive HW/SW integration and perform functional verification to ensure product meets feature and performance requirements.
• Develop comprehensive documentation, including design specifications and test plans to enable the larger cross-functional team.
• Act as a technical mentor, providing guidance and support to junior engineers and other team members.
• Drive innovation by assessing emerging technologies and contributing to the strategic technology roadmap.
  
  

You have:

• BSEE/MSEE and 10+ years of experience in board-level hardware design with a focus on high-speed, high-density digital design.
• Expertise with schematic design and PCB layout
• Strong debug and lab skills, including test development and verification
• Excellent interpersonal, organizational, communication, and leadership skills
• Experience with clock and synchronization design and verification

It would be nice if you also had:

• Experience with stack-up design, signal integrity simulation, and power circuitry
• Familiarity with EMC/EMI/Safety and ITU/IEEE/Bellcore telecommunications standards
• Programming/Scripting ability (C/Python)
