We are seeking a highly skilled System Architect to develop next-generation hardware systems tailored for high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. This role requires deep expertise in electrical and mechanical systems, system-level architecture, and high-speed interconnects operating at 112 Gbps-PAM4 and beyond.

• System Architecture & Design
  • Provide thought leadership in designing scalable, reliable, and high-performance hardware architectures.
  • Define system-level requirements across electrical, thermal, and mechanical domains and translate them into robust reference designs.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with thermal and mechanical teams to ensure seamless technology integrations.
• High-Performance Hardware Development
  • Architect systems optimized for AI and HPC environments, targeting GPU, TPU, IPU, and other accelerator-based platforms.
  • Define and manage signaling budgets across chips using Ser Des, retimers, and linear amplifiers for ultra-high-speed data paths (112 Gbps-PAM4, 224 Gbps-PAM4).
  • Drive innovation in power delivery, signal integrity, and thermal solutions to meet demanding performance targets.
• Technical Leadership & Mentorship
  • Serve as a subject matter expert in Ser Des performance, retimer/redriver technologies, and complex hardware systems.
  • Participate in design reviews and promote best practices across engineering teams.
  • Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of technical excellence.
• Innovation & Optimization
  • Stay current with emerging technologies, tools, and methodologies to enhance system performance.
  • Identify bottlenecks and propose optimizations based on industry experience and benchmarking.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in hardware design and architecture for high-performance systems.
• Deep expertise in power delivery, signal integrity, and thermal management.
• Proven experience with Ser Des, retimers, and linear amplifiers at 112 Gbps-PAM4 and higher.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills across multidisciplinary teams.
• Proficiency in PCB layout, CAD tools, and electromagnetic simulation (e.g., HFSS).
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills for complex multi-domain issues.

• Experience designing and scaling hardware for AI inference and training workloads.
• Familiarity with advanced packaging technologies.
• Hands-on experience with switch ICs and AI accelerators (GPU, TPU, IPU).

For this role, compensation is anticipated to be in the range of $150,000 - $200,000 per year, with eligibility for variable pay as a monetary bonus or alternative form.
