Job description

Candidate will be responsible for leading troubleshooting and debug of extremely complex CCAs containing multiple FPGAs, processors, and high speed interfaces that are considered out of the manufacturing flow currently. The candidate will be assigned and be responsible for the resolution of a large group of failing modules/CCAs, and will be expected to perform testing to determine root cause of failure. This person will be interacting daily with members of many different disciplines, and may be asked to brief internal and external leadership of any findings and progress being made. Essential Functions:
• Ability to perform complex integration and debug of CCAs containing FPGAs, Processors, and high speed interfaces
• Applies complex electrical engineering principles and techniques to lead design, development, documentation, verification, and manufacturing debug activities.
• Work is performed without appreciable direction. Exercises considerable latitude in determining technical objectives of assignment.
• Analyzes environment/component tolerances to identify corner cases and ensure sufficient design margin for all applicable conditions.
• Directly interfaces with members of the product development team to produce high quality/dependable products. Members impacted by electrical design include Mechanical Engineering, Test Engineering, Reliability Engineering, Systems Engineering, Safety Engineering, Software Engineering, Verification Engineering, other engineering, PWB Design, and Management teams.
