Platform Hardware Design Engineer

at  Intel

JOB DESCRIPTION

In this position, you will be responsible for the platform definition and feasibility study, schematic capture of complex high-speed multilayer circuit boards, and generation of all output materials required for board layout.

Your responsibilities will include but not be limited to:

• Designing high speed logic and/or circuits using programmable devices or Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC).
• Performing system level design and simulation using Very High-level Design Language (VHDL) and/or Verilog for FPGA and/or PLD’s and board level schematic capture.
• Analyzing system timing and signal integrity.
• Documenting routing rules.
• Working with PCB layout designers for layout and checking board files for correctness.
• Performing system debug and verification.
• Interfacing with multiple external team leads to resolve technical project issues.
• Leading a team and/or sub-team and supervising junior engineers.
• Interfacing with customers to resolve reported problems.
• Responsible for multi-site collaboration with other board designers, PCB layout designers, signal integrity engineers, board fabricators and Intel validation teams.

The ideal candidate should exhibit the following behavioral traits:

• Advanced English communications and problem-solving skills.
• Must be a self-starter willing to work with minimal supervision in a team environment, multitask efficiently, and work well with a multi-site team.

QUALIFICATIONS

Minimum qualifications, you must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position:
