Full job description

We are looking for highly talented, innovative, teamwork-oriented individuals for our cutting-edge technology work!

We are dedicated to transforming the industry by reimagining silicon and developing next-generation computing platforms. By joining our team, you'll collaborate with world-class engineers to create innovative solutions that push the limits of performance, energy efficiency, and scalability. Our focus is on developing reference platforms based on Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoC, delivering a comprehensive solution that includes hardware, software, reference designs, user guides, SDKs, and more.

Experienced Hardware Board Design Engineer (individual contributor) responsible for board-level execution of complex server platforms, working closely with a platform architect. This role owns schematic capture, layout execution, bring-up, validation support, and production readiness, while translating architectural intent into robust, manufacturable hardware.

This is a high-ownership, low-hand-holding role focused on execution leadership rather than architecture definition.

* Own end-to-end board execution from concept through EVT/DVT/PVT and production.

* Work closely with the platform/system architect to translate architecture into board-level implementation.

* Provide early feedback on feasibility, risks, cost, schedule, and implementation tradeoffs.

* Lead schematic capture using OrCAD and manage PCB layout using Cadence Allegro.

* Design high-speed, high-power, dense, multi-layer server PCBs.

* Drive cross-functional execution with SIPI, SoC, firmware, software, packaging, validation, and manufacturing teams.

* Support functional validation and assist in issues triage and root-cause analysis.

* Support manufacturing ramp, factory bring-up, board spins, and ECO validation.

* Prepare and present technical documentation and execution status to stakeholders.

* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

* 8+ years of experience in server or high-performance compute hardware design.

* Strong experience with PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, SerDes, and management interfaces.

* Expertise in SIPI, PDN, thermal design, EMI, and compliance requirements.

* Hands-on experience with lab debug tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers).

* Strong technical documentation skills and excellent written and verbal communication.

* Experience working as a board lead / execution lead alongside a system architect.

* Working knowledge of Python, TCL, or PERL for debug and automation.

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.

Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 5+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.

PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.
