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 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

  • BE or ME in EE or EC

  • 4+ 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)

  • Working with Contract Manufacturers

  • Successfully taking products from concept to production
