Job Title

Senior Hardware Engineer

Role Summary

Design, develop, and deliver ultra high-performance electronic hardware products and take technical ownership of hardware design activities. Provide technical leadership to a small design team and work across disciplines including ASIC, signal integrity, mechanical, thermal, packaging, diagnostics, and manufacturing.

Responsible for end-to-end hardware development from BOM and vendor interactions through prototype validation, customer trials, field support, and sustaining.

Experience Level

Senior - typically requires 5+ years of related experience.

Responsibilities

Core responsibilities include hands-on hardware design, validation, and cross-functional coordination.

• Design and develop high-performance PCBs and electronic systems for advanced SoCs and packaging technologies.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship within a small engineering team.
• Own product lifecycle activities: BOM creation, vendor engagement, schematic/layout review, prototyping, and validation.
• Perform hardware validation using precision oscilloscopes, analyzers, and related tools.
• Address power delivery and thermal design for high-power PCBs (1kW+ footprints) and support thermal mitigation efforts.
• Define and validate high-speed, high-density signaling, including SerDes signaling at 112G+.
• Support customer trials, investigate field issues, and lead sustaining activities through production ramp and beyond.
• Collaborate with internal teams (ASIC, signal, mechanical, thermal, packaging, diagnostics, manufacturing, sales) and external partner engineering teams.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and behaviors for success in this role.

• Proven experience with large, high-powered SoCs and advanced silicon/packaging (2D, 2.5D, 3D memory).
• Hands-on use of precision scopes, protocol analyzers, and hardware validation equipment.
• Experience solving power distribution and thermal challenges on high-power PCBs (1kW+).
• Expertise in high-speed signaling and SerDes design and validation at 112G+ rates.
• Demonstrated ownership of complex hardware products through the full product lifecycle.
• Experience working with cross-functional teams and supporting manufacturing, compliance, and customer support.
• Experience managing BOMs and participating in vendor negotiations.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering is specified. The posting also indicates 5+ years of related experience.
