Hardware Development Engineer, RBKS Camera ASIC

DESCRIPTION

Ring is looking for a Hardware Development Engineer to join the RBKS ASIC team, playing a critical role in silicon bring-up and product integration for our custom SoCs. You will be the on-site engineering presence ensuring our ASICs integrate flawlessly into Ring's next-generation smart home devicesRing product teams are integrating our custom ASIC into multiple device programs simultaneously. This role provides dedicated hardware engineering support for chip bring-up at contract manufacturers and ensures smooth ASIC-to-board integration across EVT/DVT/PVT phases.

Key job responsibilities

• Support on-site chip bring-up at contract manufacturers in Vietnam and China
• Perform and review schematic designs for ASIC integration into Ring products
• Develop and execute board-level diagnostic and validation plans
• Interface with Ring product hardware teams on ASIC-specific integration issues (power sequencing, signal integrity, thermal)
• Drive root-cause analysis and resolution for hardware issues identified during bring-up and validation
• Collaborate with the ASIC design team to feed back board-level observations into future silicon revisions
• Support component qualification, second-source evaluation, and manufacturing readiness
• Travel to CM sites (approximately 20–30%) to support critical bring-up milestones
• Supporting post-silicon validation and debug activities
• Working closely with mixed-signal vendors and cross-functional engineering teams
• Strong ASIC bring-up, validation, and HW/SW integration experience

A day in the life
In the lab, you'll be probing signals, debugging post-silicon issues, and validating peripheral interfaces. You'll drive first-article bring-up and ensure production test coverage catches real-world failures.

About the team
We're a small, nimble ASIC team building Ring's custom silicon from the ground up. We work in a vertically integrated environment where you see your work directly impact the products millions of customers rely on daily.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years of hardware design and validation of components, subsystems and systems experience
• Experience with SOC bring-up and post-silicon validation
• Experience in motherboard design, PCB design including schematic capture, stackup and circuit board layout
• Experience supporting product builds at contract manufacturers through production phases

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Master's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent

• Experience in system-level integration - Audio, Power, Battery management, RF, ESD, or equivalent

• Knowledge of standard hardware interfaces: I2C, SPI, UART, MIPI, USB, DDR, SDIO

• Experience with camera, WiFi, or BLE subsystem hardware integration
