About the role

Cloud hardware development engineer responsible for defining server architectures and hardware designs for GPU-accelerated AI training/inference at cloud scale, including validation, fleet quality, and collaboration with ODM/JDM partners across the full product lifecycle.

Responsibilities

  • Define server architectures based on workload demand and customer requirements, translating them into detailed designs and component specifications that enable high-performance AI training and inference at scale
  • Work with interdisciplinary teams of component, firmware, test, qualification, and integration engineers to deliver cohesive designs
  • Drive design reviews with ODM/JDM partners covering schematic, layout, BOM, and manufacturing DFx (Design for Test, Design for Manufacturing)
  • Define and execute validation strategies from PCBA bring-up through server and rack integration — covering power sequencing, signal integrity, thermal characterization, and accelerator interconnect performance
  • Own hardware debug during EVT/DVT/PVT builds, correlating failures across PCIe, power rails, memory channels, and GPU subsystems
  • Triage hardware issues at both ODM facilities and datacenters, conduct root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions
  • Own fleet quality metrics post-launch: server-level annualized failure rates and component-level failure modes
  • Monitor operational telemetry to identify systemic issues and drive design or process changes for current and future platforms
  • Partner with test and automation teams to improve manufacturing yield and reduce test dwell times
  • Work with EC2 architecture teams to align on instance definitions, workload requirements, and platform trade-offs
  • Drive ODM/JDM design partners through development milestones and production ramp
  • Collaborate with firmware, software, and operations teams to ensure designs are debuggable, serviceable, and automation-ready
  • May require occasional (<10%) regional and international travel to Design and Manufacturing Partner sites.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent
  • Experience in developing functional specifications, design verification plans and functional test procedures
  • 7+ years of hardware design and development experience for server, compute, or large-scale infrastructure platforms
  • Experience in one or more server technologies: thermal/mechanical design, power delivery, high-speed signal integrity, or accelerator subsystems
  • Experience leading hardware development through full product lifecycle (concept through production ramp)
