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
