- Perform schematic design, component selection, hardware architecture, and design reviews.
- Work with high-speed interfaces including SERDES (>25G), PCIe Gen 5 and above, and associated protocols.
- Design and integrate low-speed interfaces such as SPI, I2C, MDIO, SMBus, and related management interfaces.
- Work with optical interfaces including QSFP, QSFP-DD, and OSFP.Design and validate DDR5 and SSD/NVMe PCIe-based interfaces.
- Develop and analyze complex power supply architectures for networking products.
- Use Cadence toolchain for schematic capture, PCB/CAD design, and related hardware development activities.
- Perform board bring-up, hardware debugging, validation, and qualification.
- Conduct detailed hardware failure analysis, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions.
- Develop and execute hardware validation and qualification plans based on functional specifications.
- Collaborate with firmware, software, mechanical, thermal, manufacturing, and system engineering teams.
- Support prototype development, design verification, manufacturing, and production issues.
- Document design decisions, test results, failures, root causes, and corrective actions.
- Required Technical Skills10–15 years of overall hardware engineering experience, with at least 8+ years designing complex hardware products, preferably networking systems.
