Senior Hardware Design Engineer

Our Hardware Design Engineering team is at the forefront of developing high-speed networking and Ethernet products used in enterprise campuses, hyperscale data centers, and bleeding-edge AI clusters. The team is responsible for the end-to-end design and development of advanced hardware solutions that meet the demands of modern networking environments.

Responsibilities:

• Authoring functional specifications of high-power and high-density Ethernet switches used in AI networks.
• Selecting and Qualifying Components.
• Schematic Capture (both flat and hierarchical).
• Working closely with eCAD teams on PCB layout and component footprints.
• Working with internal teams to run signal integrity simulations on both power and datapath signals.
• Specifying PCB stackup and fabrication details with various PCB vendors.
• Working closely with local and overseas Contract Manufacturers (CM), from proto through production.
• Lab bring-up and debug of prototypes.
• Driving complex system debug between software, hardware, and test teams.
• Training CM for high-yield tests and manufacturing.
• Guiding groups of engineers and mentoring younger engineers.

Requirements:

• BE or ME EE or EC.
• 10+ years of relevant experience in hardware engineering.
• Experience designing networking hardware, particularly involving 100G and 200G PAM4 Ethernet switching.
• Embedded x86/ARM system design is highly desirable.
• Experience designing 20+ layer count boards featuring 50G+ signals and advanced PCB manufacturing technologies such as sequential lamination, HDI, and ultra-low-loss materials.
• Experience working with multi-phase DC/DCs for high-current, high-transient loads.
• Experience working with high-speed interfaces, such as DDR and PCIe.
• Writing specifications and drawing schematics for high-complexity boards.
• Working closely with CAD designers on complicated layout and routing.
• Working closely with software and test engineers to bring up and debug systems.
• Familiarity with signal integrity and power integrity concepts and tools, such as impedance, PDNs, differential routing, insertion loss, S-parameters, TDRs, and VNAs.
• Experience with mass production design for manufacturability (DFM).
• Working with Contract Manufacturers.
• Successfully taking products from concept to production.
