Data Center Hardware Engineering — Hardware System Integration Engineer

As a Hardware System Integration Engineer, you will contribute to the end-to-end hardware engineering lifecycle for high-performance server compute designs from specification and schematic capture through board bring-up, validation, and factory build support. Working alongside senior engineers on the team, you will grow into board-level design ownership while partnering closely with mechanical, power, software, firmware, silicon, manufacturing, and reliability teams to ensure design requirements are met with precision and at scale. This role demands both technical depth and strong communication skills to drive alignment across a broad set of stakeholders.

Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
3+ years of relevant industry work experience in hardware or systems engineering
Working knowledge of common low-speed and high-speed digital interfaces: I2C/SMBus, SPI, JTAG, USB, PCIe, Ethernet (SGMII, RMII, QSFP), and DDR memory
Broad circuit design experience across multiple domains: power, digital, analog, high-speed communications, and/or programmable logic
Experience with PCB bring-up and characterization using standard EE lab equipment (soldering, DMM, oscilloscope, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer)
Demonstrated ability to debug complex hardware issues from the system level down to the circuit level
Outstanding written, verbal, and visual communication skills, with experience producing functional specs, integration procedures, and technical documentation

Preferred Qualifications
High-speed PCB design experience with 10+ layer boards, including PCB material selection and stack-up definition
Proficiency with schematic entry and high-speed PCB layout constraint management using Cadence tools or equivalent
Hands-on PCIe, 100-GbE, USB3/USB4, or similar high-speed serial protocol experience, including compliance testing and protocol analyzer debug
Server or data center platform experience in board-level design, BMC/management subsystems, or rack-level integration
Familiarity with computer architecture concepts and hardware design tradeoffs
Experience scripting in Python or similar languages for test automation, data analysis, or lab instrumentation control
Experience engaging vendors and ODM/CM partners, including component vendors and reference design partners
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
7+ years of relevant industry work experience in hardware or systems engineering
