Responsibilities

As an advanced level engineer within the product development team, you are responsible for design and occasionally lead the development of FPGA/CPLD design for Keysight test & measurement instrument. Design activities involve in microprocessor and micro-controller base subsystem, DSP, glue logic, functional specific, IO interface design, high speed memory interface, multi clock domain & PLLs block design.

You are required to work closely with hardware, mechanical, software (application and embedded)
engineers within the development team to define and optimize the FPGA/CPLD system design to maximize performance and quality with minimum cost.

Typical activities required for this job are:

  • Design and develop FPGA/CPLD design for Keysight test and measurement instrument.
  • Develop test solutions and characterize prototype hardware to ensure the design meeting required specifications.
  • Working with System Architect or design-lead to define and develop instrument system
    architecture according to product specifications and scopes.
  • Work closely with Project manager to ensure hardware design meeting the intended system
    performance, project cost and schedule.
  • Occasionally leading the design team in system hardware and software integration project.
  • Conduct investigation and feasibility study during the early stage of Product Life Cycle.
  • Provide technical expertise to support customer service and manufacturing engineering teams to
    ensure all NPIs have proper engineering support.
  • Promote good design practice and optimize reusable design block.
  • Experience in using EDA tools (eg. LTspice, PSpice, Hyperlynx, Mathlab, Xilinx ISE, Vivado,
    Altera Quartus and others) for design simulation and verification.
  • Plays active role in refining and improves hardware design process. Develop hardware design
    document to promote consistent design practices and processes.

Qualifications
  • Ph.D/Master/Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering
  • Good understanding and experience in whole product development cycle.
  • Good working experience in performing hardware and software system integration tasks.
  • Strong knowledge and experiences in fundamental analog and mixed signal circuit design and
    troubleshooting.
  • Good experience in using EDA design tool such as STspice, Hyperlynx, Mathlab, Xilinx ISE,
    Altera Quartus for circuit simulation and synthesis.
  • Good working knowledge in programming languages such as, Agilent VEE, C, C++, C#.
  • Demonstrate the ability as a good team player, working independently, self-motivated with
    consistent drive to improve hardware design and design processes.
  • Good organizational, planning and communication skills.
  • Good command in written and spoken English skill.
