We are seeking a talented, high-speed board design expert to own the detailed implementation and industrialization of our next-generation Counter-UAS (C-UAS) processing units.
As we scale to a complex, multi-product ecosystem featuring deep multi-sensor fusion, you will actively participate in shaping digital hardware architectures while leading the hands-on engineering from schematic design to mass production.
This position demands deep expertise in complex, multi-layer carrier board design specifically utilizing Intel processors and COM Express (COMe) architectures, as well as robust simulation and production methodologies.
Key Responsibilities:
Hardware Design Execution: Own the full lifecycle of complex digital hardware boards from schematic capture, component selection, and power distribution network (PDN) design through to high-yield mass production.
Architecture Collaboration: Actively participate in defining the digital hardware architecture, collaborating closely on modular computing strategies, baseboard optimizations, and multi-sensor integration.
Intel & COM Express Integration: Lead the detailed layout and integration of high-performance Intel processors and COM Express (COMe) form factors, managing complex, dense high-speed buses (PCIe Gen 4/5, DDR4/DDR5, 10GbE, USB4).
Simulation & Signal Integrity: Execute rigorous pre- and post-layout Signal Integrity and Power Integrity (SI/PI) simulations to guarantee precise timing margins, stable power delivery, and low-noise performance on dense, fine-pitch BGA footprints.
Production Scale-Up & DFx: Champion Design for Excellence (DFM, DFA, DFT) methodologies, boundary-scan testability, and detailed verification hardware documentation to ensure flawless transfer to manufacturing lines and eliminate field escalations.
Cross-Discipline Collaboration: Work closely with subcontractors (layout) and other R&D disciplines-including FPGA, Embedded SW, Cyber, and Mechanical engineering-to resolve interdisciplinary space, thermal, and noise constraints.
