Senior Electrical Design & Validation Engineer

As a Senior Electrical Design & Validation Engineer, you will lead the electrical validation and characterization of complex printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) that enable next-generation high-speed products. This role provides end-to-end ownership of electrical signoff while partnering closely with design, layout, firmware, and system teams to deliver reliable, compliant, and high-performing hardware.

- Lead end-to-end electrical characterization, validation, and signoff for complex, multilayer PCBAs with high-speed interfaces such as PCIe and DDR.

- Drive root-cause analysis of electrical and high-speed failures, recommending and influencing corrective actions across design and layout.

- Execute signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and PDN characterization to ensure margin, robustness, and performance.

- Lead board bring-up activities for first-silicon and early prototype hardware using advanced lab instrumentation.

- Evaluate power consumption, thermal interactions, and electrical performance under functional and stress conditions.

- Partner closely with design, layout, firmware, and system teams to resolve cross-domain issues impacting electrical performance.

- Support EMI/EMC pre-compliance investigations and regulatory readiness efforts.

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.

- 8+ years of experience in PCBA electrical characterization, validation, or high-speed hardware engineering, aligned with a senior-level role.

- Proven expertise validating high-speed interfaces such as PCIe and DDR memory.

- Strong foundation in signal integrity, power integrity, and PDN analysis.

- Advanced debug experience using high-speed lab instrumentation (e.g., oscilloscopes, TDRs, logic and protocol analyzers).

- Ability to review and interpret schematics and PCB layouts using tools such as OrCAD, Allegro, Altium, or Valor.

- Experience defining test methodologies, automation strategies, and repeatable validation flows.

- Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to influence across functions.
