Role Overview:Seeking a highly experienced Hardware Design and Failure Analysis Engineer to contribute to modern system architectures. The role involves debugging complex power and signal integrity issues, engaging with suppliers, and communicating technical findings to cross-functional leaders and enterprise customers.
Key Responsibilities:- Perform hardware engineering, board design, and system-level failure analysis.
- Debug complex power distribution network issues, multi-phase VRM transient droop, PMBus/SVID telemetry, and switching noise.
- Address high-speed signal integrity anomalies.
- Direct external silicon suppliers and analytical laboratories for component-level physical failure analysis.
- Articulate complex technical findings to cross-functional leaders and enterprise customers.
Required Skills:- 10+ years of progressive experience in hardware engineering, board design, or system-level failure analysis.
- Well versed in modern system architectures (PCIe Gen4/5/6, DDR4/5, HBM, 56G/112G/224G SerDes, optical transceivers).
- Proven ability to debug complex power distribution network issues and high-speed signal integrity anomalies.
- Hands-on experience directing external silicon suppliers and analytical laboratories through component-level physical FA.
- Strong executive presence with proven capability to articulate complex technical findings.
Qualifications:- B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Materials Science, or related field.
- 10+ years of progressive experience.
Preferred Skills:- Experience leading hardware quality or reliability taskforces for hyperscale cloud service providers (e.g., Microsoft, Meta, Google, AWS).
- Knowledge of advanced packaging technologies (chiplets, 2.5D/3D ICs, CoWoS) and silicon failure mechanisms.
- Proficiency in writing custom Python or C automation tools to recreate corner-case/intermittent hardware race conditions.
