At Wabtec, we are in the business of realizing potential. Our employees are the architects of the future. Go just about anywhere and you’ll find us. If you want to revolutionize the way the world moves, start here.

Job Description

This position will immerse the incumbent in mixed-signal circuit design, PCB layout and analysis, and integration of cutting-edge electronics. Our instruments provide revolutionary features in the NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) industry. The role centers on the design, prototyping, and testing of high-performance digital and analog hardware incorporating ARM processors, FPGAs, DACs, and ADCs.

Job Duties

Design and schematic capture for digital and mixed-signal Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), focusing on high-speed signaling and noise mitigation.
Prototype, assemble, and test new hardware designs, including component-level debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and spectrum analyzers.
Perform signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) analysis on complex PCB designs involving Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC and high-speed data buses.
Integrate and validate hardware components, ensuring compliance with system specifications and robust operation.
Develop and maintain hardware verification plans and test fixtures to ensure the reliability and performance of new designs.
Collaborate closely with the firmware team to define hardware/software interfaces, memory maps, and boot sequences (e.g., U-Boot, embedded Linux).
Manage component selection and Bill of Materials (BOM) to optimize for performance, cost, and supply chain availability.
Collaborate and communicate with coworkers in both hardware and software development.

Job Requirements

Strong foundation in electrical engineering principles and analog/digital circuit design.
Hands-on experience with PCB schematic capture and layout tools (e.g., Altium, KiCad, PADS).
Proficiency in using lab equipment for debug and validation (e.g., oscilloscope, logic analyzer, DMM).
Understanding of high-speed digital design concepts, transmission lines, and impedance matching.
Experience with ARM-based processors and/or FPGA architecture and interfacing.
Basic understanding of embedded system architectures and hardware/firmware interaction.
Understanding of electrical concepts and basic signal processing.
Ability to work onsite on Tuesday and Thursday.

Nice to Have:

Experience with simulation tools for Signal Integrity (e.g., HyperLynx, SPICE).
FPGA development experience (VHDL/Verilog) for basic validation and interface control.
Knowledge of power supply design and regulation for complex digital systems.
Familiarity with environmental testing (e.g., temperature, vibration).
Electrical engineering knowledge/background (Degree).
1-2 Prior internships.
