THE ROLE You will own complex, high-speed board design in the phased-array signal chain - and see your designs through the lab. The team runs design and validation in parallel: while one board revision is being validated at the bench, the next is in design. You'll design boards (schematic capture, component selection, layout ownership), personally bring up newly fabricated hardware, debug to root cause, and feed findings into the next revision. This is a design-first seat with real lab ownership - not a test role, and not a documentation role. WHAT YOU'LL DO Design high-complexity, high-speed digital boards: schematic capture,...
