Lead root-cause investigations, failure analysis, and corrective/preventative actions for analog and mixed-signal circuits and subsystems

Perform advanced debugging and characterization of mixed-signal PCB assemblies in lab and production environments

Partner with Manufacturing and Test teams to improve test coverage, debug flows, and production yield

REQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE

Background in analog and mixed-signal circuit theory and hands-on circuit analysis

Ability to interpret schematics and guide circuit-level design changes with an understanding of system-level interactions

Working knowledge of power integrity, signal integrity, and mixed-signal layout considerations

Understanding of low-speed and mixed-signal interfaces such as SPI, I2C, GPIO, and clocking architectures

Familiarity with DFx practices including DFM, DFA, and DFT for manufacturable electronics

Experience collaborating in a cross-functional hardware development and production environment

Experience leading RCA and CAPA efforts for production or fielded hardware

Experience debugging and sustaining PCB assemblies that include analog, digital, power, and programmable devices

Experience troubleshooting circuits using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, and related lab equipment

• DESIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE
• (Looking for one or more as a complement to the core skills)

Familiarity with SPICE simulation for analysis of existing or modified circuits

Scientific scripting or data analysis skills using Python or MATLAB

QUALIFICATIONS

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or related field

6 or more years of hands-on experience with analog and mixed-signal printed circuit assemblies, including debugging, verification, and production support
