Omnidesigntech · Híbrido · Milpitas
Omni Design Technologies is a leading provider of high-performance, ultra-low power IP cores, from 28nm down through advanced FinFET nodes, enabling differentiated system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. Our technology fuels innovation in critical applications ranging from 5G, wireline and optical communications, LiDAR, radar, automotive networking, AI, and image sensors. With a proven track record of exceeding 50% year-over-year growth, we are at an inflection point, poised to significantly expand our market share and solidify our position as a technology leader.
Role Overview
This is a lead role with full ownership of high-speed evaluation boards from start to finish — from initial specification and design through schematic capture, layout, bring-up, characterization, and debug.
The role has a strong lab focus, with responsibility for driving high-speed measurement and validation on the bench, including work with BERTs and high-speed oscilloscopes. You will set the technical direction for our test board hardware and partner with analog, digital, and test automation teams to define next-generation evaluation platforms.
Work Model: Hybrid — on-site lab/bench work combined with remote flexibility.
Key Responsibilities
- Full Board Ownership: Lead and take full ownership of high-speed/RF boards from specification through design, schematic capture, PCB layout, BOM, bring-up, test, and debug.
- RF Signal Path Design: Design RF signal paths with careful attention to impedance matching, microstrip/stripline routing, connector selection, and launch structures for operation up to 64 GHz.
- Power Delivery: Design low-noise power delivery networks using LDO regulators appropriate for sensitive analog and RF measurement environments.
- Converter Characterization: Characterize high-speed ADC and DAC devices, including SNDR, SFDR, THD, and dynamic range measurements.
- Signal Integrity: Measure and interpret S-parameters to validate board signal integrity and RF performance across the full frequency range.
- High-Speed Lab Validation: Lead high-speed measurement and validation on the bench, including BERT bit-error-rate testing, eye-diagram/jitter analysis, and high-speed oscilloscope characterization.
- Digital Integration: Integrate FPGA or microcontroller subsystems on test boards to enable automated stimulus, data capture, and instrument control.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with analog, digital, and test automation engineers to define specifications for next-generation evaluation boards.
- Documentation: Clearly and thoroughly document board designs, test procedures, and characterization results.
Required Qualifications
- B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or a related field
- 5+ years of hands-on PCB design and hardware bring-up experience
- Demonstrated experience characterizing high-speed ADC or DAC devices
- High-speed/RF PCB design experience, including controlled impedance, grounding, shielding, and high-frequency connector and launch design
- Proficiency designing high-speed/RF schematics and layouts using industry-standard EDA tools
- Strong working knowledge of S-parameters and VNA measurement techniques
- Experience with low-noise LDO selection and power supply layout best practices for analog/RF environments
- Experience with SERDES and the JESD204B high-speed serial interface in an ADC/DAC evaluation environment
- Hands-on proficiency with BERTs, high-speed oscilloscopes, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators
Desirable Qualifications
- FPGA development experience, including RTL design, embedded firmware, or board-level integration
- Microcontroller (MCU) integration on test boards for stimulus, data capture, and instrument control
- Python scripting for test automation, instrument control (VISA/PyVISA), and data analysis
- Experience designing or characterizing boards at mmWave frequencies above 30 GHz
- Familiarity with JESD204C or other emerging high-speed converter interface standards
- Familiarity with high-speed SERDES at 224G
- Experience with high-speed lab testing, including BERT, high-speed oscilloscopes, eye/jitter analysis, and bit-error-rate measurements
- Ability to test ADC and DAC devices and clearly present product performance to technical and cross-functional audiences
- Experience in a fabless semiconductor or IC design environment
