Preferred Qualifications * Direct experience supporting Hyperscalers or large cloud providers in an ODM or JDM model. * Experience standing up a new engineering team or site, including recruiting and onboarding at scale. * Familiarity with liquid-cooled AI system design and rack-level integration. * Experience operating across US and Taiwan engineering teams ## Description Hyve Solutions is expanding its US-based design and engineering capability to support rapid growth in AI infrastructure for the world's largest Hyperscalers. The Senior Hardware Engineering Manager - AI Systems leads a multidisciplinary team of hardware engineers spanning board design, signal and power integrity, thermal, power delivery, and firmware, and is accountable for the day-to-day execution of next-generation GPU and compute server platforms from architecture through high-volume production. Where the Hardware Engineering Director sets organizational strategy across the US design organization, this role owns the engineering team and program delivery within it: building the bench, running the design reviews, and making sure platforms hit their EVT, DVT, and PVT commitments. It is a hands-on leadership position suited to an engineer who still enjoys reviewing a schematic or a channel simulation while managing the people who produce them. Core Responsibilities * Team leadership. Manage and grow a team of board design, SI/PI, thermal, power delivery, and firmware engineers across Fremont and Portland, owning hiring, onboarding, coaching, and performance development for direct reports. * Program execution. Drive delivery of GPU and compute server platform programs from architecture through EVT, DVT, PVT, and mass production, managing schedule, resource loading, quality, and cross-functional dependencies. * Technical oversight. Provide hands-on technical direction across schematic, layout, SI/PI, thermal, power, and firmware deliverables, guiding design trade-offs and leading complex root-cause debug across hardware, firmware, and system integration. * Design review discipline. Run design reviews and quality gates against Hyve's board design review framework (DR0.1 through DR1.0), and drive measurable improvement in first-pass success, yield, and time to market. * Customer engagement. Act as a primary engineering point of contact for Hyperscaler counterparts on assigned platforms, communicating technical status, risks, and commitments clearly and early. * Cross-geo collaboration. Partner closely with Taiwan design, operations, manufacturing, and validation teams so that designs are globally aligned, manufacturable, and scalable. * Production ramp support. Work with Operations, Manufacturing, and Quality to scale from prototype to high-volume production, and support datacenter deployment with rapid issue triage and corrective action. ## Related Videos - [The Gashlycrumb Tinies of AI Networking You Must Know (or Languish!)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2067-the-gashlycrumb-tinies-of-ai-networking-you-must-know-or-languish) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Breaking the Hardware Mindset: Overcoming Barriers to System-Level Innovation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1635-breaking-the-hardware-mindset-overcoming-barriers-to-system-level-innovation) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Should Tech Managers Be Developers First?
