• Perform PDN (Power Delivery Network) simulations and optimize power integrity and PCB layout performance.
• Develop and validate high-speed interfaces including USB, PCIe, LPDDR, Ethernet, SPI, I²C, and UART.
• Support PCB layout activities, including LGA pad design and system-level integration.
• Collaborate on smart antenna design and RF-related hardware integration tasks.
• Conduct reliability and environmental tests (ESD, thermal, humidity) and prepare board-level verification plans.
• Perform failure analysis (FA) and root cause analysis (RCA), providing corrective action proposals.
• Design and integrate Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules such as WCN7851 (Wi-Fi 7) with external partners.
• Create and maintain test scenarios, design documents, and validation reports.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, or a related technical field.
• 10+ years of practical experience in circuit design or hardware development for 5G, IoT, or related wireless systems.
• Proficiency in PDN simulation and power integrity optimization.
• Skilled in high speed interface design (USB, PCIe, LPDDR, Ethernet, etc.).
• Experience in LGA layout related integration.
• Hands on experience with reliability testing (ESD, thermal, temperature-humidity testing) and Failure Analysis (FA/RCA).
• Familiarity with Qualcomm platforms.
• Proficiency with Altium or equivalent hardware design tools.
• Experience collaborating with global customers.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Qualcomm hardware platforms.
• Prior leadership in industrial development and execution of large scale OEM programs.
• Ability to apply hardware analysis tools for thermal modeling and EMI simulation.
• Background in industrial reliability design.
