High-Speed & Mixed-Signal Design

Route high-speed digital interfaces with proper signal integrity considerations

Integrate wireless communication modules and RF circuitry

Design multi-voltage power supply distribution

Implement proper grounding and noise mitigation strategies

Hardware Validation & Integration

Collaborate with embedded Linux contractor during board bring-up

Support electrical validation and debugging during prototype testing

Verify power sequencing, current draw, and interface functionality

Available for on-site integration testing sessions as needed

Documentation & Manufacturing

Generate complete design documentation: schematics, BOMs, Gerber files, assembly drawings

Coordinate with external fabrication and assembly vendors

Incorporate design revisions and prepare release documentation

Qualifications Required
