Sr. Hardware Engineer
The Judge Group Inc.

Location: Cambridge, MA
Salary: $75.00 USD Hourly - $100.00 USD Hourly
Description:
We are searching for an enthusiastic and versatile Senior Hardware Design Engineer to join our Embedded Electronics Design Group. This role involves electrical design engineering and applying sound engineering principles to lead and execute complex circuit design projects within the Electronics Division. The perfect candidate excels in cross-functional teams and has recent experience designing sophisticated systems using state-of-the-art commercial off-the-shelf FPGAs, processors, or systems on a chip (SOCs). This engineer should be capable of immediately handling complex circuit PCB designs with minimal oversight and a short learning curve.

This job will have the following responsibilities:

• Designing system architecture and producing detailed documentation
  
• Conducting detailed electrical analysis, design, and schematic capture
  
• Managing PCB layout design resources (working with ECAD resources rather than doing layout personally)
  
• Bringing up prototypes and performing debugging
  
• Conducting functional verification
  
• Characterizing performance
  

Qualifications & Requirements:

• BSEE required; MSEE preferred
  
• 7+ years of relevant experience
  
• Strong EE fundamentals and excellent analysis and problem-solving skills
  
• Experience designing PCBs that integrate state-of-the-art processors, FPGAs, and SOCs
  
  • Examples include Xilinx Virtex/Zync/Ultrascale, Microsemi Smartfusion/PolarFire, Intel Stratix 10 devices
    
  • Familiarity with small embedded digital/analog systems, especially low-power embedded processors (ARM, DSP, MCU, etc.) is desirable
    
• Experience designing power distribution networks for state-of-the-art processors, FPGAs, or SOCs
  
  • Simulation and verification of power distribution networks using tools such as Ansys SIwave
    
• Design experience with high-speed communication and/or memory interfaces (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, DDR3/4, Multi-gigabit Transceivers)
  
  • Ability to develop layout guidelines and verify design and signal integrity using tools such as Hyperlinx before fabrication
    
• Experience in:
  
  • System integration, processor selection, analog integration, sensor design and integration, data acquisition, sampling and control theory, digital signal processing techniques, and low power design
    
  • Signal integrity, power integrity
    
  • System grounding/shielding and EMI mitigation techniques for complex sensor/actuator systems
    
• Basic understanding of programming languages such as C and VHDL to comprehend the basic functionality and operation of FPGAs, SOCs, or processors used in the design
  
• Must be local to the Cambridge office and able to support flexible in-office work; full-time remote employees will not be considered for this role.
  
• Active clearance strongly preferred. Strong candidates without an active clearance must be able to obtain a secret clearance upon starting this role.
