Actalent; Tualatin (OR); Hybrid; USD 125.000 - 175.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Actalent in Portland, OR is seeking a Senior High-Speed Hardware Engineer to own a high-speed digital board from design to validation. The role blends lab work with design, supported by a dedicated layout team, with a clear path to conversion.

You will work hands-on across design, bring-up, and verification, ensuring performance is maintained as parts cycle and materials change. This is a on-site hybrid opportunity with a direct hire.

Qualifikationen

• BSEE or a similar engineering degree.
• 6+ years of circuit and board design, with designs you personally took all the way to manufacturing.
• Hands-on lab verification of your own designs.

• Ability to get up to speed fast in Cadence OrCAD if it isnt your current schematic tool.

Aufgaben

• Update schematics and pick replacement parts for components going end of life without giving up high-speed performance.
• Plan and run full design validation, from test plans and setup through characterization and final reports.
• Characterize SERDES links with PAM4 and NRZ signaling using high-speed sampling scopes, BERT and pattern generators.
• Track down signal integrity, jitter, phase noise and CDR problems and drive the design fixes.
• Weigh board material and stack-up changes against their effect on high-speed performance.
• Give the layout team clear routing constraints, stack-up guidance and design rules.
• Design and review power supplies and power distribution for low-noise high-speed circuits.
