Omni Design Technologies is a leading provider of high-performance, ultra-low power IP cores, from 28nm down through advanced FinFET nodes, enabling differentiated system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. Our technology fuels innovation in critical applications ranging from 5G, wireline and optical communications, LiDAR, radar, automotive networking, AI, and image sensors. With a proven track record of exceeding 50% year-over-year growth, we are at an inflection point, poised to significantly expand our market share and solidify our position as a technology leader. Role Overview
This is a lead role with full ownership of high-speed evaluation boards from start to finish — from initial specification and design through schematic capture, layout, bring-up, characterization, and debug.
The role has a strong lab focus, with responsibility for driving high-speed measurement and validation on the bench, including work with BERTs and high-speed oscilloscopes. You will set the technical direction for our test board hardware and partner with analog, digital, and test automation teams to define next-generation evaluation platforms.
Work Model: Hybrid — on-site lab/bench work combined with remote flexibility.
Key Responsibilities
Full Board Ownership: Lead and take full ownership of high-speed/RF boards from specification through design, schematic capture, PCB layout, BOM, bring-up, test, and debug.
RF Signal Path Design: Design RF signal paths with careful attention to impedance matching, microstrip/stripline routing, connector selection, and launch structures for operation up to 64 GHz.
Power Delivery: Design low-noise power delivery networks using LDO regulators appropriate for sensitive analog and RF measurement environments.
Converter Characterization: Characterize high-speed ADC and DAC devices, including SNDR, SFDR, THD, and dynamic range measurements.
Signal Integrity: Measure and interpret S-parameters to validate board signal integrity and RF performance across the full frequency range.
High-Speed Lab Validation: Lead high-speed measurement and validation on the bench, including BERT bit-error-rate testing, eye-diagram/jitter analysis, and high-speed oscilloscope characterization.
Digital Integration: Integrate FPGA or microcontroller subsystems on test boards to enable automated stimulus, data capture, and instrument control.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with analog, digital, and test automation engineers to define specifications for next-generation evaluation boards.
Documentation: Clearly and thoroughly document board designs, test procedures, and characterization results.
