Digital & FPGA Design

• Experience developing digital architectures on FPGAs (e.g., Xilinx, Lattice Semiconductor or similar)
• Competence in hardware description languages (VHDL / Verilog / SystemVerilog)
• Integration of standard digital interfaces (SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, etc.)
• Ability to carry out synthesis, timing analysis, and optimization for reliability and performance
• Familiarity with implementing DSP or real-time processing blocks (filters, FFT, decimation/interpolation)

Analog / Mixed-Signal Design

• Experience designing analog front-ends (e.g. filtering, amplification, ADC/DAC interfacing, etc.)
• Good understanding of noise, stability, bandwidth, impedance, and grounding fundamentals
• Ability to ensure robust interactions between analog circuitry and digital subsystems (FPGA, DSP, MCU)

Simulation & Modeling

• Proficiency with SPICE or mixed-signal simulation tools (e.g., LTspice, PSpice, Cadence Design Systems, Mentor, Simulink cosim, ModelSim/Questa, etc.)
• Ability to run behavioral, system-level, and transistor-level simulations to validate design concepts
• Experience performing corner, worst-case, and sensitivity analyses to ensure design robustness

PCB Design & Layout

• Ability to define schematics, constraints, and review PCB layouts
• Experience with tools such as Cadence Allegro (or equivalent)
• Understanding of high-speed routing, impedance control, power distribution, and EMC-aware layout
• Experience supporting industrialization, DFM/DFT reviews, and working with manufacturing partners

Laboratory Measurement & Validation

• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, power analyzers, function generators, and protocol analyzers
• Ability to correlate simulation models with measurements and refine designs based on empirical data
• Skilled in debugging hardware issues related to noise, EMC, stability, thermal behavior, or reliability
• MSc or PhD in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or related field
• 7-15+ years of relevant hands-on experience in digital/analog/mixed-signal hardware design
• Experience in semiconductor equipment, high-reliability electronics, precision instrumentation, or similar technology-intensive sectors is a strong plus
• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset
• Ability to collaborate with interdisciplinary R&D, process, and equipment engineering teams
• Clear, structured communication and technical documentation skills
• Proactive, ownership-driven, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced development environment
