Board design

We are seeking an experienced Board Design Engineer to join our R&D group as a leader position . The role focuses on the design and development of advanced embedded hardware platforms, with an emphasis on SoC integration, high-speed digital interfaces, and audio/video subsystems. The candidate will be responsible for the end-to-end design process, from concept through schematic capture, PCB layout support, bring-up, and validation.

Key Responsibilities

System & Board Architecture

Define board-level architecture around modern SoCs and high-speed peripheral interfaces.

Select components considering performance, power, cost, and compliance requirements.

Schematic & PCB Design

Perform schematic capture for complex, multi-layer boards.

Collaborate with PCB layout engineers to optimize high-speed routing, signal integrity, and power distribution.

Implement DDR3/4/5, PCIe, USB 3.x, HDMI/DP, MIPI, Ethernet, and other high-speed interfaces.

Audio/Video System Design

Design and integrate multimedia interfaces including HDMI, DisplayPort, MIPI DSI/CSI, LVDS, I²S, and audio codecs.

Ensure synchronization and low-latency performance for real-time video and audio processing.

Validation & Bring-up

Lead hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation of new boards.

Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and high-speed measurement tools to validate signal integrity and system performance.

Collaborate with embedded, software, and mechanical teams to ensure smooth integration.

Compliance & Reliability

Design for EMI/EMC compliance, thermal management, and regulatory requirements.

Ensure manufacturability and testability (DFM/DFT).

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

7+ years of experience in board design for embedded/SoC-based systems.

Strong knowledge of high-speed digital design principles: signal integrity, timing closure, impedance control, power integrity.

Hands-on experience with schematic tools (e.g., Altium, OrCAD, Cadence Allegro) and simulation tools (SI/PI).

Practical experience with audio/video interfaces and codecs.

Familiarity with industry standards: PCIe, USB, DDR, Ethernet, HDMI/DP, MIPI.

Strong debugging skills with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and protocol analyzers.

Preferred Skills

Experience with secure SoC platforms (e.g., NXP, TI, Qualcomm, Intel/AMD embedded)

Knowledge of compliance testing (FCC, CE, CISPR).

Experience working with contract manufacturers and board bring-up in a production environment.

Soft Skills

Excellent problem-solving and analytical thinking.

Strong communication and teamwork across cross-functional engineering teams.

Ability to manage tasks independently and deliver on schedule.
