Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior/Staff Hardware Design Engineer to lead the end-to-end architecture, design, and validation of next-generation, high-performance enterprise server motherboards, compute/storage blades, and custom hardware accelerators. In this role, you will take ownership across the entire hardware lifecycle-from initial feasibility studies and schematic capture to board bring-up, high-speed interface validation, and mass-production deployment with ODM/CM partners.

Key Responsibilities

Be responsible for architecting, designing, testing, and bringing up high-performance enterprise server motherboards, compute and storage blades, and custom hardware accelerators.
Conduct product feasibility studies, define system and hardware architectures, partition design blocks, identity and address design and solutions risks.
Perform schematic capture for server main logic boards, power boards, backplane and companion/add-on cards. Define design constraints and guide PCB layout engineers.
Execute signal integrity simulations, perform board bring-up, and conduct hands-on-system-to- component level debugging using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers).
Validate high-speed digital and enterprise server interfaces such as PCIe, DDR memory,100-GbE or higher Ethernet, USB, I²C/SMBus, SPI, and UART, and verify product performances and functionality.
Partner closely with mechanical, thermal/cooling, power, firmware, software, silicon, manufacturing(ODM/CM), and reliability teams to balance trade-offs.
Support factory builds, component qualification, and mass-production issue resolution (including vendor/factory travel as needed).
Create and maintain functional specifications, Bill of Materials (BOMs), test procedures, and design verification testing (DVT) reports.
Provide technical expertise and consultation to peers.
Meet project schedules and budgets.

What You'll Bring

Education: Bachelor Degree or Masters in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related discipline.
Experience: Minimum 5 years of hands-on hardware or system direct experience with a proven track record delivering data-center-class server platforms, GPU, server platforms and storage solutions.
Technical Breadth: Strong background in digital, analog, and power circuit design, along with computer architecture fundamentals (x86 CPU/GPU platforms, SoCs, BMC, NVLink, DDR4/DDR5, high-speed networking, or FPGA design/coding).
Debugging & Problem-Solving: Demonstrated troubleshooting skills in high-speed signaling, power delivery, and thermal management.
Experience using CAD tools (e.g. Cadence Allegro, System Capture, Mentor)
Experience with SI/PI simulation (e.g. ANSYS HFSS/SIWave) and lab equipment like high-speed oscilloscopes and VNAs are added advantage
Familiar with ISO 9001 standards.
Soft Skills: Collaborative mindset, ability to perform under pressure to meet schedules and budgets, and strong written and verbal communication skills.

How to Stand Out

The ideal candidate has hands-on expertise architecting high-bandwidth enterprise interfaces (PCIe Gen 5/6, DDR5, 100G+Ethernet, NVLink) along with simulation proficiency (HFSS, SIwave) to conquer complex channel loss and power delivery challenges. You also demonstrate bench experience isolating and solving root-cause hardware failures down to the component level using high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, VNAs, and protocol analyzers through DVT. You have a strong track record balancing system trade-offs with thermal, mechanical, and power teams, while successfully driving designs through NPI stages (EVT/DVT/PVT) into mass production with ODM/CM partners.
