  • Perform advanced debugging and characterization of mixed-signal PCB assemblies in lab and production environments
  • Partner with Manufacturing and Test teams to improve test coverage, debug flows, and production yield 

REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE

  • Background in analog and mixed-signal circuit theory and hands-on circuit analysis
  • Ability to interpret schematics and guide circuit-level design changes with an understanding of system-level interactions
  • Working knowledge of power integrity, signal integrity, and mixed-signal layout considerations
  • Understanding of low-speed and mixed-signal interfaces such as SPI, I2C, GPIO, and clocking architectures
  • Familiarity with DFx practices including DFM, DFA, and DFT for manufacturable electronics
  • Experience collaborating in a cross-functional hardware development and production environment
  • Experience leading RCA and CAPA efforts for production or fielded hardware
  • Experience debugging and sustaining PCB assemblies that include analog, digital, power, and programmable devices
  • Experience troubleshooting circuits using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, and related lab equipment 

DESIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE 
(Looking for one or more as a complement to the core skills) 

  • Familiarity with SPICE simulation for analysis of existing or modified circuits
  • Scientific scripting or data analysis skills using Python or MATLAB 

QUALIFICATIONS

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • 6 or more years of hands-on experience with analog and mixed-signal printed circuit assemblies, including debugging, verification, and production support
