Assets:
  • Experience designing circuit boards, preferably for telecom or a high-reliability application.
  • Experience in board-level simulation and circuit simulation methodology.
  • Experience in hardware design implementing circuits involving microprocessors, ASICs, FPGAs, memories, and optical devices.
  • Knowledge of high-speed design and transmission line theory.
  • Knowledge of precision analog design, including development and verification of noise, precision, and stability budgets.
  • Demonstrated use of schematic capture and layout tools such as the Cadence Allegro tool suite.
  • Experience with hands-on lab measurement techniques, automation scripts, and test equipment.
