Hiring Manager
MD Parvez--MBA
Responsibilities
Architect and design complex multi-layer PCBs for high-performance systems (evaluation platforms, prototype boards, test/validation systems)
Lead high-speed interface design and integration including:
PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, CXL, SerDes-based interfaces, and other high-bandwidth links
Drive end-to-end board development:
Requirements → architecture → schematic → layout guidance → fabrication → assembly → bring-up → debug
Own interface definition and high-speed connectivity between FPGA, SoC/ASIC, memory, and external devices
Partner with Signal Integrity / Power Integrity experts to ensure robust high-speed performance
Support system bring-up, lab debug, and root-cause resolution using advanced lab equipment
Collaborate cross-functionally with FPGA designers, silicon architects, mechanical, manufacturing, and validation teams
Mentor other engineers and raise the overall design quality and execution speed of the organization
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering / Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience)
10+ years of experience in hardware/board design for high-performance electronics (more for Principal/Architect level)
Strong hands-on expertise in complex PCB architecture and board design
Extensive experience with high-speed I/O and dense interfaces, such as: PCIe (Gen3/Gen4/Gen5/Gen6 preferred), DDR4/DDR5 (and related layout constraints), High-speed Ethernet (25G/50G/100G+), SerDes-based links and multi-gigabit interfaces
Advanced FPGA interface knowledge: High-speed transceivers (GTY/GTH, etc.), Timing considerations and I/O standards, Board-level connectivity for high-throughput FPGA systems
Strong understanding of SI/PI fundamentals: Impedance control, vias, return paths, crosstalk, reference plane strategy, decoupling
Experience with board bring-up and debug: Oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, TDR, VNAs, protocol analyzers, power rail validation
Preferred
Architecture experience with evaluation boards, silicon validation boards, or emulation/prototyping platforms
Experience with compute/storage/networking systems or data center HW
Familiarity with CXL, retimers, clocking architectures, and signal conditioning
High-current power system architecture (multi-rail power, PMICs, POL regulators)
Hands-on experience with: Allegro, Altium Designer, OrCAD/Capture, Xpedition, or similar EDA tools
Exposure to manufacturing readiness: DFM/DFT, test points, boundary scan/JTAG strategy, yield feedback loops
