Staff Engineer - AI and Compute Server Design

Core Responsibilities

• Lead board‑and system‑level hardware design.
• Own schematic design, layout direction, component selection, and board bring‑up for GPU head nodes and compute servers, including power delivery, high‑speed signaling, and management subsystems.
• Translate requirements into architecture and partner directly with Hyperscalers to convert system‑level and hardware requirements into executable engineering specifications and platform architectures.
• Drive full product lifecycle execution, lead designs through EVT, DVT, and PVT phases, including signal‑integrity/power‑integrity analysis, design reviews, and risk assessment, ensuring performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Support manufacturing ramp and deployment, collaborate with Operations, MFG, and Quality teams to scale from prototype to high‑volume production, and support datacenter deployment with rapid issue triage and corrective action.
• Provide technical leadership, mentor engineers, establish best‑practice workflows for schematic reviews, documentation, and validation, and lead complex root‑cause debug across hardware, firmware, and system‑integration domains.

• Education:
  
  Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience:
  
  10+ years of hardware design experience, including board‑and system‑level engineering, with proven ownership of high‑performance server or GPU/accelerator designs from concept through production.
• Direct experience with Hyperscalers or large cloud providers strongly preferred.
• Technical expertise:
  Deep understanding of high‑speed interfaces (PCIe Gen5/6, CXL, NVLink, Ethernet), power delivery networks, SI/PDN design, thermal considerations, and complex multi‑board systems; demonstrated success leading EVT/DVT/PVT validation and manufacturing ramp.
• Systems thinking:
  Ability to architect and debug complex interactions across CPUs, GPUs, accelerators, system fabrics, firmware, and rack‑level ecosystems.
• Communication:
  Expert at working across multi‑functional teams, influencing without authority, and representing engineering decisions to technical leaders and executives.
