GPU Engineering Manager

Job Title

GPU Engineering Manager

Role Summary

Lead platform hardware engineering for GPU systems within the GPU IP Engineering team of the Data Center Group, driving design from feasibility through board layout, tapeout, and platform bring-up.

Work with architecture, firmware, power, thermal, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to deliver high-performance, validated GPU platforms. This position is eligible for a hybrid work model.

Experience Level

Senior engineering manager with significant hands-on hardware and platform development experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Specify and translate platform-level requirements into detailed hardware specifications.
• Design, evaluate, and optimize PCBs, electronic components, and integrated circuits for GPU platforms.
• Define component placement, trace routing rules, and board-layout constraints for performance, power, and signal integrity.
• Lead feasibility studies, board layout, tapeout coordination, and platform power-on and bring-up activities.
• Develop and execute validation plans and functionality tests to verify platform configurations and compatibility.
• Research and improve firmware, hardware, and circuitry processes to enhance platform performance and manufacturability.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with architecture, power, thermal, mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing teams to resolve system-level issues.
• Drive improvements in testing, debugging, and manufacturing processes and ensure compliance with industry standards such as PCIe and OAM.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and expectations:

• Proficiency with electronic design automation (EDA) tools and PCB board-layout software.
• Strong knowledge of power integrity, signal integrity, and thermal design considerations for high-performance platforms.
• Familiarity with testing and validation methodologies for GPU platforms and platform-level debug.
• Knowledge of industry standards and interfaces relevant to GPU platforms (examples: PCIe, OAM).
• Demonstrated technical leadership on complex hardware development projects and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
• Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills related to hardware bring-up and system integration.
• Ability to drive decisions that balance performance, power, signal integrity, and manufacturability.
• Must consent to and pass an extended background investigation (Position of Trust requirement).

Education Requirements
