About the Role
Northwood is seeking an Electrical Engineer to contribute to the development of digital compute and power electronics. These systems are crucial for ensuring our antennas meet high-rate processing demands globally. The hardware team emphasizes excellent engineering, focusing on creating reliable, scalable, and cost-effective end products.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive electrical design for high-speed digital communication systems.
- Implement RF and mixed-signal designs in complex, multilayer PCBs.
- Work with 100G high-speed networking, complex digital power trees, and drive system trades for architecture decisions.
- Perform schematic capture, layout, and bring-up on various digital systems including FPGAs, microcontrollers, and their peripherals.
- Collaborate with hardware and software teams, including RF engineers, antenna engineers, FPGA engineers, and firmware engineers, to optimize system performance.
- Test prototypes and assess performance in lab and field environments.
- Work with production teams to create testable and manufacturable products for in-house integration.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- 0-2+ years of professional experience in electrical design.
- Experience with end-to-end board design, covering architecture, component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, debug, and production.
- Experience with mixed-signal electronics design and complex multilayer PCBs, including stack-up definition and material selection.
- U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual, or eligible to obtain required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
Preferred Qualifications
- High-speed digital design experience with interfaces such as multi-gigabit SerDes, DDR, JESD204B/C, and 10/100G Ethernet.
- Experience with signal and power integrity analysis.
- Experience with FPGA- or processor-based systems and high-speed data converters.
- Deep understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC mitigation, PCB stack-up definition, and high-performance board layout practices.
- Hands-on experience debugging complex hardware systems using advanced lab instrumentation and driving root-cause analysis.
- Ability to lead cross-functional technical efforts.
- Experience troubleshooting EMI/EMC, either conducted or radiated.
