Staff/Senior Hardware Design Engineer

Job Responsibilities:

Hyperscale Server Design Engineer is responsible for designing, validating, and optimizing high-performance server hardware, racks, and infrastructure systems to support massive-scale cloud computing environments. Responsibilities include:

• Conduct server feasibility studies, define and maintain hardware architectures and solutions, and create execution plan.

• Design schematic, create BOM, support prototype/engineering build.

• Guide and work with PCB engineers on layout and placement.

• Design, deploy, and operate large-scale GPU-based compute environments, including optimizing network topologies like InfiniBand and Ethernet.

• Lead server validation and bringing up complex systems, including lab validation, SI/PI (Signal Integrity/Power Integrity) analysis, and debugging.

• Partner with software, datacenter engineering, mechanical and thermal, and vendor teams to ensure seamless hardware/software integration. Drive root cause analysis and corrective actions.

• Apply advanced knowledge of server energy efficiency and power redundancy to optimize for performance and cost.

• Work with manufacturing teams to resolve issues and to support NPI and production builds.

• Provide technical expertise and consultation to peers.

• Maintain consistent high quality of engineering design work to develop robust, high performance and cost effective designs and products.

Job Requirements:

• Degree/Master in Electrical/Electronic/Computer Engineering or equivalent

• Minimum of 5-10 years of experience in computer architecture, server design or hardware validation.

• Strong design experience and knowledge in any of the following:

  • Knowledge of GPU/CPU architectures, high-speed interfaces (QSFP-DD/OSFP) and memory interfaces such as DDRx DRAM, NAND/NOR/SPI Flash.

  • High speed interfaces including PCIe, NVLink, GbE, SAS, USB.

  • BMC implementations.

  • High DC voltage power designs and distribution, and thermal management.

  • High-speed Ethernet networking.

  • Experience with liquid cooling is an advantage.

• Understanding integration of software and hardware.

• NPI project execution experience and familiarity with Product Development Life Cycle will be desirable.

• Experience using CAD tools (e.g. Cadence Allegro, Mentor PAD).

• Experience with SI/PI simulation (e.g. ANSYS HFSS/SIWave) and lab equipment like high-speed oscilloscopes and VNAs are added advantage.

• Familiar with ISO9001.

• Troubleshooting skills in high-speed signaling, thermal or power delivery.

• Self motivated and willing to learn new technology and skills who works well under pressure.

• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
