Job DescriptionWe are seeking a highly skilled Systems Engineer with deep experience in microelectronics, semiconductor devices, chips, and hardware-centric systems. This role is responsible for defining, integrating, and validating complex hardware and hardware-software systems from concept through production. The ideal candidate has strong system-level thinking, hands-on technical depth, and the ability to work across silicon design, hardware engineering, embedded software, and manufacturing teams to deliver reliable, scalable systems.
Responsibilities - Define system-level requirements for microelectronics-based hardware platforms
- Support integration of ASICs, FPGAs, SoCs, PCBs, and embedded components
- Perform system trade-off analysis (performance, power, cost, reliability)
- Lead system-level verification, validation, and hardware bring-up
- Collaborate with manufacturing and quality teams through production ramp
- Produce system documentation and participate in design reviews
- Develop system architectures that integrate chips, hardware subsystems, firmware, and software
- Translate customer, product, and regulatory requirements into technical specifications
- Support chip selection, architecture decisions, and board-level integration
- Evaluate interfaces, buses, and protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C, PCIe, Ethernet, SerDes)
- Define and execute system-level verification and validation plans
- Support bring-up, debugging, and root-cause analysis of hardware and silicon issues
- Collaborate on test strategies for pre-silicon, post-silicon, prototype, and production builds
- Ensure requirements traceability and compliance throughout the development lifecycle
- Partner with manufacturing, supply chain, and quality teams during production ramp
- Support DFM, DFT, reliability, qualification, and failure analysis activities
- Address hardware obsolescence, component changes, and system updates
- Ensure systems meet regulatory, safety, and industry certification requirements
- Act as a technical bridge across hardware, software, firmware, and manufacturing teams
Required Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Computer, or Systems Engineering (Master's preferred)
- 5+ years of experience in systems or hardware engineering
- Strong experience with microelectronics, chips, and hardware platforms
- Hands-on experience with hardware integration and system testing
- Proven ability to lead system-level design and integration efforts
