Design and develop digital High-Speed I/O (HSIO) PHY IP and die-to-die (chiplet) interfaces. Own end-to-end digital design flow, collaborate with system and analog teams, optimize architectures, and apply SI/PI modeling and protocol expertise (AXI/CHI/CXL/PCIe/etc.) to production AI SoC platforms.

Design, test, and support electrical systems for HVAC products including schematics, wiring diagrams, control systems, validation, troubleshooting, documentation, and cross-functional integration to meet safety and regulatory standards.

Design, develop, and support mechanical products and packaging for production. Create drawings and layouts, troubleshoot designs, implement process and packaging improvements, lead projects, and mentor junior designers while ensuring compliance with customer specifications and ITAR requirements.

Design medium- and low-voltage electrical power distribution and motor control systems for industrial and water/wastewater projects. Produce drawings and specifications, perform power system modeling and studies (short-circuit, coordination, arc flash), oversee construction support, mentor junior staff, coordinate multidisciplinary designs, and support business development and client interactions.

Design and implement front-end digital RTL blocks (SystemVerilog) including high-speed datapath, UCIe adapters, FIFOs, and assertions. Develop micro-architecture, write block-level testbenches, ensure lint/CDC/timing cleanliness, collaborate with DV/backend, and support simulation, emulation/FPGA bring-up and silicon debug.

Execute synthesis, place-and-route and STA for ASIC partitions from RTL to silicon. Collaborate with architects, RTL designers and DFT engineers to close EM/IR, LEC and physical verification signoff. Improve physical design methodologies (synthesis, PnR, EMIR, PDN), troubleshoot flows and work with EDA vendors to resolve issues while meeting tight schedules and low-power goals.

Design and develop mechanical components, assemblies, and subsystems for semiconductor equipment using Creo/SolidWorks. Own full design lifecycle from requirements and prototyping through manufacturing release. Perform tolerance analysis, GD&T, thermal/structural analyses, CNC/G-code support, P&ID schematics, material selection, DFM, supplier collaboration, troubleshooting, and documentation/PLM control.

Design and develop next-generation wafer inspection systems by translating customer requirements into system configurations, defining error budgets, creating and executing prototype test plans, collaborating with functional teams for integration and product launch, resolving system issues at customer sites, and improving sensitivity and throughput through novel inspection solutions and experiments.

Entry-level design verification role for new college graduates to develop and execute verification plans for RISC-V processors/cores. Responsibilities include reviewing specs, developing testbenches, creating tests and test plans, debugging test cases, closing coverage, and contributing to modeling, flow, and methodology development.

Lead RF and mixed-signal CMOS IC design for space payloads, owning architecture, transistor-level design, simulation/verification, layout guidance, pre/post-layout analyses, silicon bring-up, lab characterization, production test strategies, and technical leadership across cross-functional teams.
