Job Description

Test and Measurement Systems (also known as NI) Product R&D has an immediate opening for a Principal Digital Hardware Engineer within our hardware design team in Austin, TX. In this role, you will work throughout the product lifecycle to develop products and systems that expand the test and measurement industry’s capabilities. Digital engineers within our Test and Measurement Systems business group stand at the intersection of the many disciplines required to make new products come to life. You will have opportunities to expand your digital design skills by learning from experienced technical leaders and participating in initiatives to grow the craft of digital design.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be

Collaborate with multi-disciplinary hardware engineering teams to develop test and measurement products.

Own all aspects of digital board level design, including schematic entry, PCB stack-up, layout guidelines, signal integrity simulations, and prototype validation.

Develop and execute plans for prototype hardware bring-up and board level validation.

Be the voice of digital design in project meetings by estimating level of effort for design tasks, providing input on status of work, and proactively raising technical concerns.

Who You Are You partner with others to get work done. You can take a creative idea and put it into practice. You build and deliver solutions that meet customer expectations. You persist in accomplishing objectives despite obstacles and setbacks.

For This Role You Will Need

Must be a US Citizen or Green Card Holder

Minimum Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Computer, or Software Engineering, or a related discipline.

Minimum 8 years relevant engineering experience in digital hardware design.

Strong high-speed design fundamentals, including signal integrity, crosstalk, impedance control, EMI, and PCB stack-up.

Experience with clocking architectures, including clock tree design, PLL configuration, and jitter analysis and mitigation techniques for high-speed digital systems.

Experience designing and validating high-speed interfaces (DDR, PCIe, JESD204, Ethernet).

Proficient in using lab tools such as oscilloscopes, TDRs, VNAs, logic analyzers, etc.

Hands-on experience with EDA tools for schematic capture and PCB layout.

Experience writing and executing test plans to verify board level digital circuits and bringing up prototype hardware.
