• Strong understanding of Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) 

• Experience working with and guiding PCB design using: 

o Mentor Graphics Xpedition 

o Cadence Allegro o Altium Designer 

• Hands-on experience with simulation tools (PSpice, LTSpice) 

• Strong hardware debugging skills using: 

o Oscilloscope

o Logic analyzer

o Multimeter 

• Experience in board bring-up and hardware validation 

• Knowledge of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFT (Design for Testability) 

• Exposure to EMI/EMC design practices 

• Experience in taking designs from schematic → PCB → PCBA → validation → production 

• Good understanding of hardware–firmware interaction and system integration 

• Strong problem-solving and root cause analysis capability.
