• Schematic capture of complex high-speed multilayer circuit boards and generation of all output materials required for board layout.
• Analyzing system timing and signal integrity.
• Documenting routing rules.
• Working with PCB layout designers for layout and checking board files for correctness.
• Performing system debug and verification.
• Participating on technical meetings to resolve complex multi-disciplinary issues in system design and produce detailed technical documentations including Platform User Guide.
• Responsible for multi-site collaboration with other board designers, PCB layout designers, signal integrity engineers, board fabricators and Intel validation teams.
• Interfacing with customers to resolve issues.

The ideal candidate should exhibit the following behavioral traits:

• Advanced English communications and problem-solving skills.
• Must be a self-starter willing to working with minimal supervision in a team environment, multitask efficiently, and work well with a multi-site team.
