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 tech
