Hardware Engineer

Required

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in high-speed hardware board design, ideally focused on enterprise servers, data center hardware, or complex computing platforms.
• EDA Tools: High proficiency in industry-standard schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Cadence Allegro, Concept HDL, OrCAD, or Altium Designer).
• High-Speed Design Knowledge: Direct experience designing with high-speed serial/parallel interfaces (such as PCIe, DDR/LPDDR, or USB) and understanding basic SI/PI constraints.
• Power Delivery: Proven experience with board-level power distribution design, DC-DC converters, and multi-phase VRMs supporting high-current rails.
• Lab Skills: Strong hands-on laboratory experience with hardware debugging, rework, and using diagnostic equipment (DMMs, scopes, network analyzers).
• Education: Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
• Advanced Data Center Experience: 10+ years deep understanding of data center server architectures, OCP (Open Compute Project) standards, and system topologies (e.g., CPU sockets, high-speed riser configurations, and BMC sub-systems).
• Silicon-Package-Board Co-Design: Familiarity with the interplay between advanced semiconductor packaging (e.g., chiplets, 2.5D bridges) and high-density PCB implementation.
• Simulation & Modeling: Familiarity with SI/PI and thermal simulation concepts using tools such as Ansys (SIwave, HFSS), Cadence Sigrity, or HyperLynx to guide early-stage design constraints.
• Manufacturing Integration: Strong background in optimizing layouts for high-volume manufacturing, minimizing layer counts while maintaining performance, and handling DFX (Design for Manufacturing/Assembly/Test) validation.
• Self-Driven & Collaborative: Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, startup-like environment.
