About the role

Senior hardware design engineer leading and contributing to development of AI acceleration-based systems for data center applications, with emphasis on multilevel board design, power integrity, thermal management, and involvement with switch-enabled architectures.

Responsibilities

  • Technically lead cross-functional engineering teams responsible for system and hardware development of AI acceleration-based systems from product definition to production. This includes the physical design of multilevel boards, DFM (Design for Manufacturing), power regulation, board bring-up qualification and debug, thermal, signal integrity, and EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference).
  • Provide cross-functional technical leadership and communication within the hardware engineering, architecture, customer, and program management teams.
  • Actively drive technical definition/architecture and program execution/issue resolution in a dynamic development environment with programs in various development phases ranging from concept, feasibility, execution, production, or sustaining.
  • Work with SOC silicon architects and the business unit to define and develop product requirements, specifications, and cost targets.
  • Drive innovation in system architecture, system management, circuit implementations, and security down to the level of component selections.
  • Define and manage validation and assist with hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, design verification, optimizations, and fine-tuning for an optimum balance of cost and performance at the board and system level.
  • Provide implementation guidelines and feedback to silicon, package, and system design groups.
  • Create and publish design technical documentation for internal and external stakeholders.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering preferred
  • Strong board hardware and system design experience
  • Proven ability to drive product development from concept to mass production
  • Ability to write product specifications
  • BOM management skills
  • Solid experience in high-speed mixed-signal design techniques
  • Strong experience in Cadence tools, such as Concept Capture and Allegro PCB
  • Solid experience in LDOs and Multiphase DC-DC switching power supply Power Integrity for high-power ASIC products. Experience with power conversion and delivery for high-performance processors or GPUs is a plus
  • Experience with hardware lab tools, digital oscilloscopes, and other common lab equipment
  • Experience with firmware, APIs, applications, OSes, and their interactions within Windows, Linux, Data Accelerators, compute, and virtualization environments
  • Understanding of industrial standards: high-speed/digital interfaces (USB, PCI Express), memory interface, I2C/SMBus/PMBus, SPI, JTAG
  • Experience with scripting to assist with daily tasks (Python, BASH, Perl, etc)
  • Must be self-driven, collaborative, and a strong team player with technical leadership skills to support optimal performance
  • Excellent teamwork, communication, and organization skills
  • Experience with high-speed serial interfaces, PCI Express and USB is a plus
  • Specific experience with switches, CPUs, FPGAs, and their board design including SI and PI knowledge
