- Drive design for manufacturability (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and design for testability (DFT)
- Support server subsystem integration
- Participate in design reviews
- Support prototype builds, board bring-up, debugging, and validation
- Track and resolve design issues, including root cause analysis and corrective actions
- Ensure proper documentation, revision control, and engineering change management (ECO/ECN processes)
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering
- 2–4 years of experience in schematic capture and PCB design
- Proficiency with PCB design and schematic tools
- Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit design fundamentals
- Experience with multilayer PCB layout
