Job Description

Who You'll Work With

Working closely with cross-functional teams including software, product management, and manufacturing, our engineers innovate on system architectures, high-speed PCB designs, and signal integrity to deliver state-of-the-art products that drive network performance and reliability.

What You'll Do

Our 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 (both flat and hierarchical)
• 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
• Specifying PCB stackup and fabrication details with various PCB vendors
• Working closely with local and overseas Contract Manufacturers (CM), from proto through production
• Lab bring up and debug of prototypes
• 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
• Working with Contract Manufacturers
• Successfully taking products from concept to production
