The qualified individual will be a significant 
contributor in the development of high 
performance solid state flash drives. They will 
directly contribute to and manage the hardware 
team tasked with the PCB design, development, 
verification and release of complex, high-speed 
enterprise class SSDs. The primary 
responsibility of this senior engineer will be 
the supervision of a hardware development team. 
This candidate should be well organized and 
capable of giving detailed, technical guidance 
verbally and in writing, understanding technical 
challenges involved in the creation of embedded 
systems, and have the ability to create detailed 
development schedules and coordinate the efforts 
of the various design teams. As a direct design 
contributor, complex systems design experience 
is a must, with exposure to schematic and PCB 
design, high-speed storage and memory protocols, 
hardware design validation, and signal and 
thermal analysis at the PCB level. Ideally, this 
individual will take part in establishing future 
product architecture and creating product 
definitions and design constraints, as well as 
establishing and improving the best practices 
and procedures for the hardware design 
department. Ongoing familiarity with upcoming 
storage protocols and standards is a 
requirement. Knowledge of the implementation of 
high speed serial protocols and DDR on PCBs and 
in products is the key to success. Experience 
with NAND flash and distributed DC power is 
highly desired.

The successful candidate must be hands on and 
have a desire to stay up to date with and 
implement new technology on an ongoing basis. 
They must be able to solve complex problems and 
overcome technical challenges on a daily basis. 
The ability to interface comfortably with 
customers and vendors is a plus.
