Data Center Hardware Engineering - Hardware System Integration Engineer

As a Hardware System Integration Engineer, you will own the end-to-end hardware engineering lifecycle for high-performance compute designs — from initial specification and schematic capture through board bring-up, validation, and factory build support. You will serve as a critical cross-functional partner to mechanical, power, software, firmware, silicon, and reliability teams, ensuring design requirements are met with precision and at scale. This role demands both deep technical expertise and strong communication skills to drive alignment across a broad set of stakeholders. Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent work experience 7+ years of relevant industry work experience in hardware or systems engineering Working knowledge of common digital communication interfaces and signal integrity fundamentals Broad circuit design experience across multiple domains: power, digital, analog, high-speed communications, and/or programmable logic Experience with PCB bring-up and characterization using standard EE lab equipment (soldering, DMM, oscilloscope, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer) Demonstrated ability to debug complex hardware issues from the system level down to the circuit/transistor level Understanding of server control plane and data plane architectures Outstanding written, verbal, and visual communication skills, with experience producing functional specs, integration procedures, and technical documentation Preferred Qualifications High-speed PCB design experience with 10+ layer boards, including PCB material selection and stackup definition Proficiency with schematic entry and high-speed PCB layout constraint management using Cadence tools or equivalent Hands-on experience with high-speed serial protocols (PCIe, 100-GbE, USB3/USB4) and common low-speed digital interfaces (I2C/SMBus, SPI, JTAG), including compliance testing and protocol analyzer debug Experience with Design for Test (DFT) methodologies including ICT, FCT, and DFU test architectures Experience developing factory test tools, data parsers, or test automation frameworks (Python, MATLAB, or similar) Knowledge of EMC/EMI design principles including grounding and shielding strategies Familiarity with computer architecture concepts and hardware design tradeoffs Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering 10+ years of relevant industry work experience in hardware or systems engineering
