Responsibilities will include board and system level design, PCB layout, simulations, component selection, and support to manufacturing /customer support on various activities. This is a product development position requiring a thorough background in developing high-end systems including high-speed simulation, layout guidance, and working with Mech Engr for enclosure design and associated sub-assemblies.Reports to Sr. Director of Hardware Engineering located at Unigen HQ, Newark CA.
Primary Job Responsibilities
1. Design, develop, and implement electrical and mechanical (product) design solutions for Unigen products Architect, design and develop Flash-based SSD and DRAM (DDR3/4) modules Determine electrical, thermal/environmental and performance characteristics of a product design Capture PCB stack-up and impedance control for the design Generate PCB layout guidelines Perform board bring-up and work with firmware/logic engineers to ensure product functionality. Validate the physical feasibility of the design Prepare technical documentation including engineering specifications, Provide documentation and technical support to the production department during the product sample and production stages. Identify the physical needs of the product's enclosure or mechanical parts for acceptance Work with a mechanical engineer to design product enclosures and cross-check with electrical designs. Support Manufacturing and Customer Support on various issues. 2. Create, develop, and implement product design solutions for purchasing and testing
Select components for purchasing to comply with sourcing strategy/policy and meet customer requirements/restrictions Provide technical advice to the Purchasing team Review and apply design solutions to comply with regulations to allow sales of products in regional markets, with EMC/EMI standards Create test and debug instructions for Manufacturing to aid in testing/troubleshooting newly designed boards Analyze root causes and solve issues with engineering test equipment. Determine and document clock test and reset signal test points 3. Develop and maintain product design documentation
Develop and deliver Electrical Design documentation:
Product schematics, electrical BOM, PCB Fab Package, Design for Manufacturing (DFM), board bring-up instructions, assembly drawing, stack-up drawing PCBA, SI and PI test reports
Develop and deliver Mechanical Design documentation:
Pick-and-place XY file, ODB file, critical components inspection documents Develop and deliver label design and labeling instructions, packaging instructions/drawings/BOM, special handling/inspection documents, licensing agreements/LOAs
4. Provide technical support on design solutions for products, purchasing, and sales to the internal team
