Senior Hardware Engineer

Pixcel • Matawan, NJ

14h • Onsite

About The Position

PIXCEL develops novel semiconductor-based photonic modules aimed at sensing and imaging applications. You will be responsible for the design and development of analog and mixed-signal electronics supporting PIXCEL's photonic modules.

Requirements

• Deep analog circuit design expertise, including op-amp topologies, precision current sources, filtering, and low-noise design techniques.
• Proven experience designing power supplies, including buck converters, switching regulators, and low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators.
• Expert-level proficiency in Altium Designer, including schematic capture, component library management, and design-rule-driven workflows.
• Strong PCB layout skills with emphasis on signal integrity, power integrity, and mixed-signal (analog/digital) partitioning.
• Experience with high-speed digital interfaces, including PCIe routing (differential pairs, impedance control, AC coupling) and LVDS signaling.
• Hands-on experience with board bring-up and debug, including use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power analyzers to diagnose hardware issues at the component level.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with EMC/EMI design practices, including pre-compliance testing and layout techniques for emissions and susceptibility mitigation, is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Design precision analog circuits, including op-amp topologies, low-noise amplification stages, current sources, and filtering networks.
• Design power supply architectures, including buck converters, switching regulators, and LDO linear regulators.
• Perform schematic capture and PCB layout in Altium Designer, including component library management and design-rule-driven workflows.
• Lay out high-speed digital interfaces such as PCIe (differential pairs, impedance control, AC coupling) and LVDS signaling, with attention to signal and power integrity.
• Bring up and debug boards using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power analyzers to diagnose issues down to the component level.
• Collaborate with optical, electrical, mechanical, and software engineers on integrated product designs.
