## Description

The Hardware Design, Rack-scale Technology and Platforms (HDRTP) engineering team designs, develops, validates, and delivers the hardware platforms that power Meta's AI and HPC infrastructure, deployed in data centers worldwide. Our designs are published for industry adoption through the Open Compute Project Foundation. We are seeking an AI Accelerator Module Design Engineer to own the electrical and PCB design of accelerator modules supporting Meta's custom silicon (MTIA) and third-party AI accelerators. You will own module-level electrical design end to end from requirements and ASIC package-to-board co-design through schematic, stackup, power delivery, bring-up, and volume production on one or more programs. You will work within established design methodologies and reference architectures, and contribute improvements to them. You will drive cross-domain trade-offs between signal integrity, power integrity, thermal, mechanical, and cost, partnering with senior engineers and architects on
the most ambiguous decisions. You will operate independently on your program's scope in a fast-moving environment.

Required Skills:

Hardware Engineer, AI Accelerator Module Design Responsibilities:

 1. Own the electrical design and PCB implementation of AI accelerator modules for high-performance, high-power custom silicon (MTIA) and third-party accelerators
 2. Contribute to module requirements and specifications in partnership with ASIC, platform, rack, and systems architecture teams
 3. Execute ASIC package-to-board co-design, including breakout routing, substrate interaction, and escape feasibility analysis for high pin-count devices
 4. Design power delivery networks for high-current loads, including DC-DC topology selection, decoupling strategy, and plane/stackup partitioning
 5. Implement high-speed interface design across PCIe Gen5/Gen6, CXL, DDR5/LPDDR, HBM, and Ethernet up to 800G, including simulation-guided stackup and channel budgeting
 6. Partner with Signal and Power Integrity teams on SI/PI analysis and simulation-to-measurement correlation for your designs
 7. Participate in and prepare module-level design reviews
 8. ensure schematic, layout, and DFM/DFT readiness for your designs
 9. Lead board bring-up and debug
 10. root-cause electrical, power, and interoperability failures and drive design fixes to closure
 11. Work with ODM/JDM partners through NPI-to-mass-production cycles, holding partners to Meta design standards and schedule
 12. Contribute to reusable reference designs, design-rule libraries, and design automation
 13. support publication through the Open Compute Project
 14. Evaluate emerging technologies with industry partners - HDI and advanced substrates, embedded components, novel materials
 15. Collaborate across hardware, firmware, mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing teams to resolve cross-functional issues
 16. Share knowledge and help onboard other PCB/module design engineers
