Hardware Development Engineer
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 devices. Ring 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.
