About the position

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated is seeking a Senior Hardware Engineer to join their team in Milpitas, CA. This position focuses on system-level hardware design with an emphasis on high-speed digital design. The successful candidate will be involved in the development of leading-edge test and measurement products that are utilized by engineering teams globally to create next-generation communication, consumer electronics, and computer products. The role requires a thorough understanding of high-end systems, including high-speed simulation, PCB layout, and collaboration with mechanical engineers for enclosure design and associated sub-assemblies. In this product development position, the engineer will be responsible for board and system-level design, PCB layout, simulations, component selection, and providing support to manufacturing and customer support teams. The role demands a strong background in designing and developing high-speed embedded platforms, with a focus on the latest bus topologies, CPU, and memory interfaces. The engineer will also be expected to perform high-speed circuit simulations using tools such as HSPICE, Hyperlinx, ADS, and HFSS, ensuring that the board design meets functionality and performance specifications. The Senior Hardware Engineer will generate PCB layout guidelines and collaborate with external PCB layout service providers, ensuring that high-speed layout requirements (>10Gbps) are met. Additionally, the engineer will conduct board bring-up activities, work closely with firmware and logic engineers to validate product functionality, and develop system and board-level tests to ensure compliance with electrical and engineering specifications. This role also involves assisting in EMC certification as necessary and supporting manufacturing and customer support on various issues.

Responsibilities

• Board and system level high speed digital circuit design, integration, and evaluation.
• Perform high speed circuit simulation (HSPICE, Hyperlinx, ADS, HFSS etc) and be responsible for board design and functionality.
• Generate PCB layout guidelines and work with outside PCB layout service providers. Knowledge in high speed (> 10Gbps) layout is required.
• Perform board bring up and work with firmware/logic engineers to ensure product functionality.
• Develop system and board level tests and test procedures to ensure that the product meets electrical and engineering specifications. Use these procedures to transfer products to Operations.
