Job Description
Seeking an experienced Hardware Engineer to architect and deliver next-generation server, mobile, and HPC platforms across the full product lifecycle. The role leverages AI-Enabled engineering for design space exploration, workload analysis, predictive validation, automated debug, and system performance optimization, enabling faster development cycles and higher-quality silicon/platform solutions.
Key Responsibilities
End-to-End Ownership
- Own complete hardware lifecycle: architecture → schematic → PCB layout → bring-up → validation → production
- Drive system-level design decisions for complex hardware platforms
- Leverage AI-Enabled or Agentic AI to design next generation solutions and drive efficiency.
System Architecture & Design
- Architect multi-layer, high-speed PCBs, including partitioning, power domains, and signal topology
- Design and review systems involving FPGAs, SoCs, memory, and power management circuits
- Ensure scalability, performance, and reliability through rigorous design reviews
Memory & High-Speed Interfaces
- Design and validate DDR5 / LPDDR memory subsystems (timing, topology, SI/PI compliance)
- Integrate high-speed interfaces such as PCIe Gen4/5, USB, SATA, I²C, SPI, and UART
Bring-Up, Validation & Debug
- Lead board bring-up from initial power-on to system-level qualification
- Define validation strategies, test plans, and debug methodologies
- Drive root-cause analysis across hardware, firmware, silicon, and PCB issues
- Perform advanced debug using oscilloscopes, logic/protocol analyzers, JTAG, and power tools
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner with SI/PI teams on signal integrity, stack-up, and PDN design
- Collaborate with mechanical teams on thermal and form factor requirements
- Work with manufacturing and supply chain on DFM/DFT, BOM optimization, and production readiness
Technical Leadership
- Lead design reviews, milestone checkpoints, and architecture discussions
- Mentor engineers and drive best practices in hardware design and validation
Required Expertise
- 12+ years in hardware design for server, storage, networking, embedded, or HPC systems in an IC role
- Strong background in digital and mixed-signal design
- Expertise in FPGAs, SoCs/microcontrollers, and power management (LDOs, buck/boost regulators)
- Deep understanding of PCB design, PDN, controlled impedance, and manufacturing processes
- Experience in hardware validation, bring-up, and system debugging
- Familiarity with signal integrity considerations for high-speed systems
Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
Proven track record of delivering production-quality hardware platforms
