If you are looking for a place where technical excellence is the standard and where your designs will push the boundaries of sensing and imaging technology, your place is with us.

Job Description

Join a global leader in the development and manufacturing of advanced infrared detectors and electro-optical solutions for defense and commercial applications. We are seeking a skilled Board Designer with extensive experience in high-speed digital design to join our Board Design R&D Team. In this role, you will define system and hardware requirements, design FPGA-based hardware platforms, and validate high-speed interfaces such as DDR4, USB3, Ethernet, MIPI, and Camera Link. You will work closely with firmware, software, and mechanical engineers to deliver robust, production-ready embedded systems for advanced electro-optical products.

Key Responsibilities

• Define hardware requirements and prepare detailed design documentation for FPGA-based boards including power architecture, configuration, and peripheral circuitry
• Develop schematics and oversee PCB layout for complex high-speed multilayer boards
• Perform hardware simulations and signal analysis using tools such as LTspice and Cadence
• Design and validate high-speed interfaces including DDR4, USB3, Ethernet, MIPI, and Camera Link
• Define and manage PCB stack-ups, impedance control, differential pair routing, and high-speed layout constraints
• Conduct Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) analysis to ensure performance, robustness, and reliability
• Lead prototype bring-up, testing, and debugging using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and VNAs
• Collaborate with firmware, software, and mechanical teams to ensure full system integration
• Participate in design reviews, DFM/DFT processes, and continuous design improvements
• Support production and NPI activities and resolve hardware-related manufacturing issues

Required Qualifications
