Job DescriptionWho You'll Work WithWorking closely with cross-functional teams including software, product management, marketing, and manufacturing, our engineers innovate new system architectures and develop high-speed PCBs requiring state-of the-art signal integrity and power integrity design practices.
What You'll DoOur Hardware Design Engineering team is at the forefront of developing high-speed networking and Ethernet products used in Enterprise campuses, hyperscale datacenters 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.
Candidates for this position would be responsible for the entire hardware design process:- Authoring functional specifications of high power and high density Ethernet switches used in AI networks
- Selecting and qualifying components
- Schematic capture and tool-based design verification
- Working closely with eCAD teams on PCB layout and component footprints
- Working with internal teams to run (or run your own) signal integrity simulations on both power and datapath signals
- Working closely with mechanical and thermal engineers on the system general arrangement and physical realization
- Specifying PCB stackup and fabrication details with various PCB vendors
- Working with internal teams to develop (or develop your own) programmable logic devices for control and timing planes
- Working closely with local and overseas Contract Manufacturers (CM), from proto through production
- Lab bring up and debug of prototypes
- Working closely with diagnostics software engineers on both design validation and manufacturing test development
- Driving complex system debug between software, hardware, and test teams
- Training CM for high yield test and manufacturing
- Guiding groups of engineers and mentoring younger engineers
Qualifications- BSEE or MSEE
- 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/DC's for high current, high transient loads
- Experience working with high speed interfaces, such as DDR, 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, PDN's, differential routing, insertion loss, S-parameters, TDR's, VNA's
- Experience with mass production Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
- FPGA design and system simulation using Verilog and or VHDL
- Working with Contract manufacturers
- Successfully taking products from concept to production
