We are looking for a Staff Hardware Designer – Systems Engineer to contribute to the design, bring-up, and validation of Evaluation Kits (EVKs) used for silicon validation and customer engagement. In this role, you will support hardware projects from requirements review and system architecture input through schematic design, PCB review, bring-up, laboratory validation, and documentation. You will work closely with senior engineers, technical leads, cross‑functional teams, and external partners to deliver high‑quality, robust EVKs while continuing to develop broader project ownership skills.

Contribute to EVK hardware projects from requirements to validation , taking ownership of assigned tasks and design blocks Support the translation of requirements from Systems, SW, IC Design, Marketing, and customers into practical EVK design implementation Design EVKs at schematic level, including: Power supply architecture (DC/DCs, LDOs, sequencing, monitoring) Communication and control interfaces (I2C, SPI, FTDI, GPIO) Use Cadence or equivalent EDA tools to support schematic design, PCB layout review, and design checks Use LTspice or similar SPICE tools for power supply analysis and basic circuit simulations Support screening and test plans and collaborate with lab technicians during execution Use Python scripting to automate lab validation, screening, data collection, and result analysis Create high‑quality documentation , including user guides and bring‑up procedures Share design concepts, implementation details, and results with internal teams and, when needed, support customer‑facing material Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field ~3–4 years of experience in hardware design for complex systems, EVKs,



or reference designs ~ Power supply design and sequencing ~ RF and mixed‑signal hardware design ~ Ability to contribute effectively to hardware projects, take ownership of assigned work, and work under guidance from senior engineers or technical leads Working knowledge of Python scripting for lab automation, validation support, screening and data analysis Communication and documentation skills, including professional English Ability to work effectively with cross‑functional and geographically distributed teams, using English as a common working language Experience with high‑speed SerDes / optical / networking SoCs / RF circuits Collaboration with experienced general teams Company Overview MaxLinear is a global, NASDAQ‑traded company (MXL) where the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well. We are a fabless system‑on‑chip product company, striving to improve the world’s communication networks for everyone through our highly integrated radio‑frequency (RF), analog, digital, and mixed‑signal semiconductor solutions for access and connectivity, wired and wireless infrastructure, and industrial and multi‑market applications. Our growth has come from innovative, bold approaches to solving some of the world’s most challenging communication technology problems in the most efficient and effective manner.

MaxLinear began by developing the world’s first high‑performance TV tuner chip using standard CMOS process technology. Others said we couldn’t achieve the extremely high‑performance requirements using CMOS, but we proved them wrong and achieved enduring global market leadership with our designs. enable data center, metro and long‑haul optical interconnects; and enable robust and reliable communication in harsh industrial environments. We also have major design centers in Irvine and San Jose, California; We have approximately 1,200 employees, a substantial majority of whom have engineering degrees and include masters and Ph.D. graduates from many of the premiere universities around the world.
