Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field.
• 12+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
• 3+ years of experience with circuit design (e.g., digital, analog, RF).
• 3+ years of experience utilizing schematic capture and circuit simulation software.
• 3+ years of experience with hardware design and measurement instruments such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, RF tools, etc.
• 1+ years in a technical leadership role with or without direct reports.
  
  

Principal Duties And Responsibilities

• Develops complex features and components of hardware designs in line with proposals or roadmaps for complex products; advises and supervises small groups of less experienced engineers working together on common testing and design tasks.
• Participates in or leads the implementation of advanced design rules and processes for electronic hardware, equipment, and/or integrated circuitry independently; has an advanced understanding of other domains.
• Reads device specification sheets and interprets complex details required to design various hardware features; leads a team of less experienced engineers working with spec sheets.
• Identifies advanced and cost-efficient ways to optimize testing procedures and/or hardware designs by evaluating device performance over a wide range of operating conditions and configurations.
• Advises and leads small groups of less experienced engineers in evaluating various design features to identify potential flaws (electrical, mechanical, hardware), compatibility issues, and/or compliance issues; reviews design evaluations conducted by less experienced engineers.
• Documents how various materials, components, chipsets, and functions interact; identifies potential compatibility, safety, or compliance issues; leads documentation team efforts.
• Troubleshoots multiple advanced issues with product designs; uses a variety of debugging tools and methods.
• Provides advanced technical input, support, and documentation for internal customers in order to help address various questions related to materials, production, assembly, and/or testing of hardware.
• Acts as a tech lead on large projects, provides technical leadership to individuals from outside functions, and owns the outcome of the project.
• Manages project-related activities (e.g., meetings, documentation, deliverables); collaborates with team across departments and technologies; provides feedback to other teams regarding product; brings the project to conclusion.
• Collaborates with individuals from other departments to review IP proposals.
• Displays deep knowledge in multiple areas; acquires advanced knowledge of industry trends, competitor products, and advances in various engineering fields from publicly available information; shares knowledge of multiple areas within team and across teams working on similar products.
• Conducts highly complex analyses (e.g., feasibility studies, signal integrity, power integrity, teardown analyses); shares the results of these analyses with internal stakeholders.
  
  

Additional Responsibilities May Also Include

• Develops design implementation, analysis, methodology, flows, and automation for development and validation of System on Chip, electronic parts, components, integrated circuitry, and packaging.
• Provides design solutions to evaluate, characterize and develop the design implementation solution for leading-edge products in the most advanced processes.
• Interfaces with various cross functional teams (RF, Analog and Digital IC designers, Software, System Engineering, Test Engineers, Customer Engineering, and Operations) to drive and incorporate the latest design solutions in the production program to improve yield, productivity, and quality.
  
  

Level Of Responsibility

• Working independently with little supervision.
• Making decisions that are significant in impact; errors are not readily apparent due to the complexity of work process/product or time between decisions and results; errors typically result in significant expenditure of time, resources, and funds to correct.
• Using verbal and written communication skills to convey complex and/or detailed information to multiple individuals/audiences with differing knowledge levels. May require strong negotiation and influence, communication to large groups or high-level constituents.
• Having a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is consulted by senior leadership to provide input on key decisions).
• Completing tasks that require multiple steps that can be performed in various orders; tasks require simultaneously executing multiple cognitive abilities and maintaining information in short- or long-term memory.
• Exercising exceptional creativity to innovate new ideas and develop innovative products/processes without established objectives or known parameters.
• Using deductive and inductive problem solving; multiple approaches may be taken/necessary to solve the problem; often information is missing or conflicting; advanced data analysis and interpretation skills are required.
• Occasionally participates in strategic planning within own area affecting immediate operations.
  
  

The Responsibilities Of This Role Do Not Include

• Financial accountability (e.g., does not involve budgeting responsibility).
