TL;DR · Senior Platform Hardware Design Engineer

As a Sr. Platform Hardware Design Engineer, you will join the design team to lead and participate in complex product development projects within a fast-paced environment. You will manage system and board hardware from inception through full-volume production, collaborating with power supply, mechanical, thermal, firmware, and PCB layout teams. The role focuses on the data center AI acceleration market, requiring specific experience with Broadcom or Cisco switches. Key responsibilities include leading cross-functional teams through physical design of multilevel boards, DFM, power regulation, signal integrity, and EMI. You will utilize Cadence tools like Concept Capture and Allegro PCB while managing BOMs and high-speed mixed-signal designs. Required skills include proficiency with LDOs, DC-DC switching power supplies, and hardware lab tools. Technical expertise in PCI Express, USB, I2C, and scripting languages like Python or BASH is essential for this role.

What you'll do

  • Lead the development of system and board hardware from initial concept through full-volume production.
  • Manage technical requirements, specifications, and cost targets in collaboration with silicon architects and business units.
  • Oversee physical design aspects including multi-level boards, power regulation, signal integrity, and EMI.
  • Drive innovation in system architecture, circuit implementations, and security at the component selection level.
  • Execute hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, and design verification to balance cost and performance.
  • Provide technical leadership and implementation guidelines to silicon, package, and system design groups.
  • Create and publish technical design documentation for both internal and external stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Experience with switches and their board design, specifically using Broadcom or Cisco switches, is essential.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering (preferred).
  • Strong experience in high-speed mixed-signal design techniques (preferred).
  • Experience with Cadence tools, such as Concept Capture and Allegro PCB (preferred).
  • Solid experience in LDOs and Multiphase DC-DC switching power supply Power Integrity for high-power ASIC products (preferred).
  • Experience with firmware, APIs, applications, OSes, and their interactions within Windows, Linux, Data Accelerators, compute, and virtualization environments (preferred).
  • Understanding of industrial standards like USB, PCI Express, I2C/SMBus/PMBus, SPI, and JTAG (preferred).
  • Experience with scripting in Python, BASH, or Perl to assist with daily tasks (preferred).
