Principal Engineer Electronics

Description

Job Responsibilities

• include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Work in a fast-paced environment with high expectations, significantly diverse assignments, and collaborative team settings across all levels
• Participate in the full hardware development life cycle including requirements, design, implementation, qualification, and delivery of hardware products to our customers
• Define subsystem functional decomposition into CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and software
• Define processor capabilities such as Gbps, latencies, throughputs
• Define subsystem interface requirements, voltage levels, and suitable cabling
• Perform integration activities including laboratory setup, cabling and integration with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, synthesizers
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams – including Systems Engineering, Digital Engineering, Software, and Integration & Test
• Interpret and apply system requirements to system design and implementation, ensuring defined completion criteria are met
