• Experience across embedded subsystems, including application processors, microcontrollers, high-speed memory, power delivery, battery/charging circuitry, wireless/RF integration, and high-speed or wired interfaces.
• Proven experience taking electronics from concept through schematic and PCB design, verification, certification, manufacturing ramp, and mass production.
• Strong understanding of RF coexistence and interference across cellular and regulated frequency bands, along with signal integrity, power integrity, and electromagnetic compatibility considerations.
• Hands-on experience with Cadence OrCAD and Allegro, as well as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, power supplies, and related electrical and RF test equipment.
• Experience designing rigid, flex, or rigid-flex PCBs and working within tight mechanical and form-factor constraints.
• Experience designing electronics to meet U.S. and international hardware, wireless, and safety standards and regulations.
• Experience working with design partners, Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs), or Joint Design Manufacturers (JDMs) and collaborating effectively across cross-functional and geographically distributed teams.
