DESCRIPTION:
Ring is looking for a Hardware Development Engineer to join the RBKS ASIC team, playing a critical role in silicon bring-up and product integration for our custom SoCs. You will be the on-site engineering presence ensuring our ASICs integrate flawlessly into Ring's next-generation smart home devicesRing product teams are integrating our custom ASIC into multiple device programs simultaneously. This role provides dedicated hardware engineering support for chip bring-up at contract manufacturers and ensures smooth ASIC-to-board integration across EVT/DVT/PVT phases.
Key job responsibilities
•Support on-site chip bring-up at contract manufacturers in Vietnam and China
•Perform and review schematic designs for ASIC integration into Ring products
•Develop and execute board-level diagnostic and validation plans
•Interface with Ring product hardware teams on ASIC-specific integration issues (power sequencing, signal integrity, thermal)
•Drive root-cause analysis and resolution for hardware issues identified during bring-up and validation
•Collaborate with the ASIC design team to feed back board-level observations into future silicon revisions
•Support component qualification, second-source evaluation, and manufacturing readiness
•Travel to CM sites (approximately 20-30%) to support critical bring-up milestones
•Supporting post-silicon validation and debug activities
•Working closely with mixed-signal vendors and cross-functional engineering teams
•Strong ASIC bring-up, validation, and HW/SW integration experience
A day in the life
In the lab, you'll be probing signals, debugging post-silicon issues, and validating peripheral interfaces. You'll drive first-article bring-up and ensure production test coverage catches real-world failures.
About the team
We're a small, nimble ASIC team building Ring's custom silicon from the ground up. We work in a vertically integrated environment where you see your work directly impact the products millions of customers rely on daily.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- 5+ years of hardware design and validation of components, subsystems and systems experience
- Experience with SOC bring-up and post-silicon validation
- Experience in motherboard design, PCB design including schematic capture, stackup and circuit board layout
- Experience supporting product builds at contract manufacturers through production phases
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Master's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent
