Hardware Engineer (Root Analysis / Debugging)
Insight Global
Job Description
Role focuses primarily on supporting a Failure Analysis (FA) debug group, requiring skills in low-level diagnostics, probing at the board level, and utilizing various diagnostic tools and equipment such as a Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) and scope logic analyzers. It mentions that this position is more aligned with hands-on board debugging and failure analysis rather than product development. Key responsibilities include:
Running diagnostics and interpreting results to debug board-level failures.
Debugging SerDes link failures, with detailed attention to test equipment and specific components involved.
Using diagnostics to identify problems, locate issues at the board level, and apply the appropriate test equipment to measure and pinpoint faulty components.
Familiarity with SerDes systems (especially above 25G), microprocessors, and X86 knowledge (Intel control processors) is important.
The role is backend-heavy, involving supporting silicon evaluation, silicon bring-up, and test efforts on pre-production boards, with the primary focus being schematic capture and board debugging.
It also indicates the need for good lab skills, hardware engineering analysis, and collaboration with other teams for corrective actions on hardware failures. The position leans towards someone skilled in failure analysis, hardware debugging, and engineering solutions rather than someone with a design engineering background.
