• Expertise with laboratory instruments and equipment
• Strong basic electrical and electronics design knowledge
• Successfully works in a small team environment
• Knowledge of basic electrical requirements and conversions

I am excited to be applying for the position of hardware design engineer. Please accept this letter and the attached resume as my interest in this position.

In my previous role, I was responsible for feedback during design reviews of schematics, PCB layout, system harnessing and mechanical models.

Please consider my qualifications and experience:

• Working experience with Modem chipsets GNSS receivers, WiFi/BT(LE) chipsets
• Experience various sensor such as temperature sensors, gyro’s and accelerometers
• Development experience with I2C, SPI, SDIO, UART, USB, HSIC, PCM, I2S interfaces
• Familiarity with EMC concepts and good design practices for EMC robust design
• Experience with communication buses and protocols like CAN, LIN, Ethernet
• Knowledge of Windows* and UNIX* platforms, Perl would be an added advantage
• Create design documents (schematics, test procedures, bill of materials)
• Design and troubleshoot analog and digital and power conversion electronic hardware with an emphasis on low level analog signal and circuit simulation/analysis

In response to your job posting for hardware design engineer, I am including this letter and my resume for your review.

Previously, I was responsible for direction to Printed Circuit Board (PCB) designers.

Please consider my qualifications and experience:

• Familiar with ISO 9001 requirements for Design Stages of Products
• Analog electronic design (preferred)
• Part of team using toll gate development process
• Problem solving through engineering analysis
• Continually improve the engineering process
• Willingness to take ownership and be accountable
• Design experience with high speed communications, memory and peripheral interfaces such as 1/10/100GbE, XAUI, CAUI, XFI, KR, Interlaken, DDR3/DDR4 DRAM and PCIe
• RF/mixed signal design
