## Description

Working closely with cross-functional teams including software, product management, marketing, and manufacturing, our engineers innovate new system architectures and develop high-speed PCBs requiring state-of the-art signal integrity and power integrity design practices.

What You'll Do
Our Hardware Design Engineering team is at the forefront of developing high-speed networking and Ethernet products used in Enterprise campuses, hyperscale datacenters and bleeding edge AI clusters. The team is responsible for the end-to-end design and development of advanced hardware solutions that meet the demands of modern networking environments.

Candidates for this position would be responsible for the entire hardware design process:

 * Authoring functional specifications of high power and high density Ethernet switches used in AI networks
 * Selecting and qualifying components
 * Schematic capture and tool-based design verification
 * Working closely with eCAD teams on PCB layout and component footprints
 * Working with internal teams to run (or run your own) signal integrity simulations on both power and datapath signals
 * Working closely with mechanical and thermal engineers on the system general arrangement and physical realization
 * Specifying PCB stackup and fabrication details with various PCB vendors
 * Working with internal teams to develop (or develop your own) programmable logic devices for control and timing planes
 * Working closely with local and overseas Contract Manufacturers (CM), from proto through production
 * Lab bring up and debug of prototypes
 * Working closely with diagnostics software engineers on both design validation and manufacturing test development
 * Driving complex system debug between software, hardware, and test teams
 * Training CM for high yield test and manufacturing
 * Guiding groups of engineers and mentoring younger engineers
