Job Description

Responsibilities We are seeking an enthusiastic well rounded Senior Hardware Design Engineer for the Embedded Electronics Design Group. This is an electrical design engineering position that requires the ability to apply sound engineering principles for the leadership and execution of complex circuit design projects within the Electronics Division.

The ideal candidate is someone who works well in cross-functional teams and has recent experience designing complex systems using state-of-the-art commercial off-the-shelf FPGAs, processors, or systems on a chip (SOCs). It is expected that this engineer can hit the ground running on complex circuit PCB designs with limited oversight and learning curve.

Core Responsibilities
- System architecture design and detailed documentation
- Detailed electrical analysis, design and schematic capture
- Manage PCB layout design resources. You are not expected to perform the layout yourself, but will work with ECAD resources.
- Prototype bring up and debugging
- Functional verification
- Performance characterization

Qualifications:
BSEE, MSEE preferred
- 7+ years overall experience
- Great EE fundamentals
- Strong analysis and problem solving skills
- Experience designing PCBs that integrate commercial state-of-the-art processors, FPGAs and systems on a chip (SOCs). Some examples may include Xilinx Virtex/Zync/Ultrascale, Microsemi Smartfusion/PolarFire, Intel Stratix 10 devices. Experience with small embedded digital / analog systems, especially low power embedded processors (ARM, DSP, MCU, etc.) is also desirable.

- Experience with design of power distribution networks for state-of-the-art processors, FPGAs or SOCs. Simulation and verification of power distribution networks using tools such as Ansys SIwave.

- Design experience with high-speed communication and/or memory interfaces (i.e. PCIe, Ethernet, DDR3/4, Multi-gigabit Transceivers). The ability to develop layout guidelines, and verify the design and signal integrity using tools such as Hyperlinx prior to fabrication.

- Experience in the following areas is important: system integration, processor selection, analog integration, sensor design and integration, data acquisition, sampling and control theory, digital signal processing techniques and low power design, signal integrity, power integrity - System grounding/shielding and EMI mitigation techniques for complex sensor/actuator

systems. - Low-level understanding of programming languages such as C and VHDL is desirable in order to understand the basic functionality and operation of the FPGAs, SOCs or processors used on the design.

Other Requirements:

- Must be local to the Cambridge office and able to support flexible in-office work. Full-time remote employees will not be considered for this role.

- Active clearance strongly preferred. Strong candidates will be considered without an active clearance, but must be able to obtain a secret clearance upon starting this role.
