Job Details
Job Description
Job Description : Designs, develops, and delivers complex platform hardware solutions for Intel validation and product development platforms. Translates system and platform requirements into board-level electrical designs and drives implementation from architecture definition through board bring-up, validation, and debug. Responsible for leading the design and development of high-speed printed circuit boards (PCB), subsystems, and platform solutions while ensuring compliance with electrical, mechanical, thermal, manufacturability, and cost objectives.
Key responsibilities include
- Independently design and develop complex platform hardware solutions including schematic capture, component selection, board-level architecture, and subsystem integration.
- Translate platform requirements into detailed electrical specifications, schematics, placement constraints, routing requirements, and implementation guidelines.
- Develop and review high-speed interface implementations including DDR, PCIe, USB, Ethernet, CXL, and other high-speed communication interfaces.
- Define PCB stack-up requirements, impedance control strategies, return path optimization, power delivery implementation, and routing constraints.
- Review and approve schematics, component selections, and board-level implementations to ensure compliance with platform electrical requirements.
- Conduct PCB layout and routing reviews, providing recommendations to improve signal integrity, power integrity, manufacturability, and overall design quality.
- Generate and maintain platform design guidelines, routing rules, electrical specifications, and implementation best practices.
- Perform system-level electrical analysis including Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), timing analysis, and design margin assessments.
- Collaborate with PCB layout engineers, package engineers, architects, firmware developers, validation teams, and manufacturing partners to ensure successful platform implementation.
- Lead board bring-up, electrical validation, root cause analysis, and debugging activities using advanced lab equipment.
- Drive issue resolution for complex hardware problems and recommend corrective actions.
- Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance during design reviews and debug activities.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of platform design methodologies, validation processes, and engineering best practices.
