About the role

Senior Cloud Hardware Development Engineer responsible for defining server architectures and hardware designs for GPU-accelerated AI training and inference at scale, leading ODM design partners, validating from PCBA bring-up to fleet deployment, and owning fleet quality metrics post-launch.

Responsibilities

  • Define server architectures based on workload demand and customer requirements, translating them into detailed designs and component specifications for 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

  • 7+ years of equivalent experience
  • Experience in developing functional specifications, design verification plans and functional test procedures
  • Experience in server technologies such as, thermal, mechanical, power, and signal integrity
  • Bachelor's degree or above in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent
  • 5+ years of Design/Innovation, research & development, manufacturing, process, industrial engineering, or related experience
  • Experience leading process improvement, systems development, and project management
  • Experience in English-language communication skills, both written and verbal
  • In depth expertise in one or more server technologies such as Thermal / Mechanical design, high speed bus design and signal integrity, failure analysis, server components (e.g. CPU, GPU, SSDs, memory), BIOS, BMC, and networking
