What You Will Do
- Lead the end-to-end development and delivery of next-generation routing and switching hardware platforms, from concept and design through validation, production release, and product sustaining.
- Manage NPI programs by defining and tracking project schedules, budgets, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), milestones, risks, and deliverables to ensure timely and cost-effective product launches.
- Lead cross-functional and geographically distributed teams, aligning engineering, PCB layout, signal integrity, power, mechanical, CPLD/FPGA, firmware/BIOS, software, testing, manufacturing, and sustaining teams.
- Drive hardware design decisions and technical trade-offs to optimize product performance, quality, reliability, manufacturability, and cost.
- Oversee hardware design, implementation, PCB development, Gerber generation, BoM release, board bring-up, debugging, and system-level validation.
- Guide engineering teams in developing and validating hardware platforms involving CPU and memory architectures, including DDR4/DDR5, PCIe, SPI, XGMII, XFI, and XAUI interfaces.
- Monitor project execution, identify technical and program risks, resolve cross-functional dependencies, and implement mitigation plans to achieve project objectives.
- Oversee product technical and project documentation, including schedules, COGS, risk registers, product specifications, hardware specifications, design review records, DVT plans, compliance test plans, diagnostic test plans, and hardware test reports (HTRs).
- Ensure product designs meet system-level requirements covering PCB design, signal integrity, power conversion, thermal management, mechanical integration, Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and cost targets.
- Drive collaboration with external vendors, suppliers, and manufacturing partners to resolve technical issues, manage supplier relationships, and support successful product delivery.
- Ensure appropriate consideration of EMI/EMC, safety, and environmental regulatory compliance requirements for telecommunications products.
- Provide leadership for product sustaining activities, continuous improvement, and resolution of product-related technical issues.
- Stay informed about industry trends, emerging technologies, and engineering best practices to guide product development strategy and technical decisions.
