Description

RF Design Engineer - Hardware design, Digital Printed Circuit Boards, Schematic Capture, PCB

Job Summary:

Reporting to the Chief Technical Officer the Senior Digital Engineer is responsible for the design of complex high speed digital Printed Circuit Boards for LTE base stations (eNodeB).

Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Design, debug, and prototyping of circuits as well as full system hardware design.
  • Designing, test, debug and specification verification of reference designs.
  • Validation of system level performance; design and build test fixtures as needed.
  • Perform cost analysis of hardware designs and provide feedback of cost vs. benefits.
  • Perform board level rework (surface mount devices) as well mechanical rework as required
  • Perform box level testing, debugging of pre-production devices and analysis of data as well as defining production test specification limits.
  • Define system level testing of engineering units as well as production units
  • Documentation of design specifications and implementation details. Lead design reviews. Upholding of hardware design standards and methodologies
  • Responsibility for the complete implementation of detailed technical items and an understanding/appreciation of system level items
  • Collaboration with other team members including both hardware and software engineers to agree system designs, interfaces and protocols
  • Development of appropriate test hardware and procedures, both informal and formal, to prove the correct operation of hardware
  • Flexibility is essential as specifications may not be fully defined at the start of development, and liaison with customers for continued feedback and input of requirements is likely throughout the developments.
