Job Description: A Hardware engineering position responsible for developing System Level Test PCBs for Broadcom products targeted at hyperscale data center applications. Broadcom’s market leading products are enabling the next generation of AI and cloud storage. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Collaborate with Product Test and Firmware/Software teams in SLT system architecture definition. Design and schematic capture of SLT and bench PCBs for new Broadcom integrated circuit products using Allegro CAD tools Create and manage PCB component libraries using Allegro CAD tools Design architecture - collect information on PCB design rules, requirements, and specifications from project stakeholders, including customers Work with PCB layout and SI engineers to ensure PCB layouts meet all electrical requirements Work with Mechanical engineers and vendors to evaluate mechanical constraints and thermal solutions Audit PCB layouts to ensure PCB designs meet all design rule checks including component pinouts and footprints Complete and maintain vendor deliverables for PCB fabrication and assembly. Ensure the integrity and archival of design files related to PCB manufacturing. Test manufactured PCBs and deploy to internal and external customers. Manage inventory of PCBs and test status. Debug and rework any necessary changes via ECOs. The Successful Candidate Will: Have a systems-level vision beyond just electrical design, creating a test solution that incorporates HW, SW/FW, mechanical, and manufacturability concerns. Have a strong sense of design ownership. You enjoy collaborating with the engineers using your PCBs and working with them to generate feature improvements.
