Position: Hardware Board Design Engineer
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.
Key Responsibilities
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.
Lead board bring‑up and debug activities.
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.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
8+ years of experience in server or high‑performance compute hardware design.
