TL;DR · Senior Hardware Application Engineer

The Senior Hardware Application Engineer joins the team to focus on customer enablement of enterprise products in a datacenter environment. This highly technical role involves collaborating with OEM partners to resolve hardware, firmware, and software issues through offsite and onsite support. Responsibilities include providing bring-up and debug support for server hardware, reviewing designs for thermal, mechanical, schematic, layout, and signal integrity, and creating hardware design collateral like application notes and product specifications. The role requires expertise in x86 and ARM architectures, out-of-band telemetry, and cluster management. Candidates must use tools such as Cadence Allegro Schematic Design Entry, PCB Layout, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers. The work addresses system integration issues related to PCIe, GPU interconnect interfaces, and power integrity for HPC and AI workloads.

What you'll do

  • Provide onsite and offsite support for bring-up and debugging of OEM server hardware.
  • Resolve hardware, firmware, and software issues for enterprise customers in datacenter environments.
  • Review customer designs for architecture, thermal, mechanical, schematic, layout, and signal integrity.
  • Perform hardware debug using oscilloscopes and analyzers to qualify and validate NVIDIA products.
  • Analyze data to reproduce errors, track bugs, and escalate technical issues as needed.
  • Create product specifications, hardware design guides, and application notes for customer use.
  • Drive platform configuration guides for x86 and ARM servers based on HPC and AI workload requirements.
  • Collaborate with OEM customers through their design, validation, and production flows.

What we're looking for

  • BS or higher in EE, CE, or Systems Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of relevant experience supporting enterprise datacenter products for x86 or ARM architecture.
  • Experience using Cadence Allegro Schematic Design Entry (Concept HDL) and Allegro PCB Layout tools.
  • Experience using lab tools such as oscilloscopes, multi-meters, and logic analyzers.
  • Background in power integrity concepts, signal integrity principles, and high-speed board design methodologies.
  • Understanding of x86 and ARM system architecture for server design including BMC, security, and out-of-band management.
  • Professional-level interpersonal skills and excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Previous experience as an application engineer or equivalent customer-facing role (preferred).
