TL;DR · Systems Design Engineer

Systems Design Engineer: This role sits within the Data Center Systems Engineering team, where you will serve as a leader in the design, development, and integration of critical hardware technologies. You will be responsible for building Data Center GPU platforms, accelerator cards, and supporting system hardware from initial concept through production. Your daily work involves developing technical specifications, driving schematic designs, managing component selection, and overseeing PCB layout activities while ensuring compliance with signal integrity and power delivery requirements. To succeed, you must utilize the Cadence design suite and possess expertise in computer architecture, high-speed digital circuits, and advanced laboratory instrumentation for root-cause analysis. The role focuses on solving complex system-level challenges within the domain of AI and accelerated computing platforms, specifically addressing hardware requirements for server and rack-scale architectures.

What you'll do

  • Lead the design and development of Data Center GPU platforms and accelerator cards from concept through production.
  • Develop product requirements, technical specifications, project schedules, and engineering execution plans.
  • Drive schematic design, component selection, and implementation of high-speed digital, power, and management circuits.
  • Oversee PCB layout activities to ensure compliance with signal integrity, power integrity, thermal, and manufacturability requirements.
  • Partner with component suppliers and technology vendors to evaluate solutions and ensure successful hardware implementation.
  • Lead board bring-up, system integration, validation, and qualification activities for new hardware.
  • Perform root-cause analysis and debug complex hardware issues using advanced laboratory instrumentation.
  • Present technical reviews and project status updates to engineering leadership and key stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • Minimum of five years of hardware design experience.
  • Expertise in computer architecture, signal integrity, power delivery, and system-level design.
  • Proficiency with the Cadence design suite.
  • Experience leading complex hardware development programs from concept through production.
  • Knowledge of high-speed interfaces including PCI Express, XGMI, and LPDDR.
  • Understanding of platform management and firmware technologies like Redfish and telemetry.
  • Experience in DFM, DFT, and root-cause analysis using advanced laboratory instrumentation.
