Position: Senior Board Design Engineer

Location: Austin,Texas

Job description:

Board Design and Development:

• Design and develop high-complexity server boards, including processor boards,power delivery subsystems, and peripheral interface cards.
• Create detailed schematic designs and guide PCB layout to ensure signal integrit and thermal management.

Design Validation and Debug:

• Validate board designs through simulations (hyperlynx, sigrity, SI wave) and physical testing (Board bring up, functional testing) to ensure functionality and performance meet AMD’s standards.
• Debug hardware issues and provide root cause analysis and solutions.
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment – Oscilloscope , Power meters, DMM,Protocol analyzer etc.,

Collaboration and Documentation:

• Work with silicon, firmware, and manufacturing teams to align board designs withproduct specifications
• Generate detailed design documentation, including schematics, BOMs, and test plans, to support manufacturing and production teams.

Signal Integrity and Power Analysis:

• Perform signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal analysis on board designs.
• Optimize designs to meet performance, manufacturability, and reliabilityrequirements.

Design for Manufacturing (DFM):

• Work closely with PCB fabricators and assembly houses to ensure designs are manufacturable at scale.
• Review and incorporate DFM feedback into board designs.

Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in schematic capture tools (e.g., OrCAD, Cadence Allegro Design Entry).
• Expertise in PCB layout tools (e.g., Cadence Allegro PCB Editor).
• Strong understanding of high-speed signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal design principles.
• Familiarity with interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, NVMe, USB, and high-speed serial links.
• Experience with system-level debug tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers.
• Knowledge of power delivery network design and voltage regulator module selection.

Education & Experience:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in board design for high-performance computing or server products.
