## Description

Mythic is building next-generation AI hardware platforms that require tight integration between silicon, packaging, and system design. We are looking for a hands-on Senior Staff Systems Design Engineer to own and drive the design and implementation of our reference boards and hardware platforms.

This is not a maintenance role. This is a build role.

We want someone who can take evolving silicon capabilities, incomplete requirements, and system-level constraints and turn them into robust, manufacturable hardware designs. You will play a critical role in defining how Mythic delivers usable hardware platforms to customers and partners.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-ownership environments and wants to work across silicon, integration, and manufacturing to build high-quality hardware systems. You should be equally comfortable designing boards, working with external vendors, and supporting bring-up and debug.
What you'll own

 * Own design and development of reference boards and hardware platforms
 * Translate silicon capabilities into practical, high-quality system designs
 * Drive schematic design and guide PCB layout (internally or with external partners)
 * Own key hardware subsystems including power delivery, high-speed interfaces, and clocking
 * Ensure signal integrity, power integrity, and overall system robustness
 * Define and incorporate package-level constraints into board design
 * Partner with OSATs and manufacturing vendors to ensure smooth package-to-board integration
 * Support board bring-up and collaborate on debugging system-level issues
 * Drive design for manufacturability (DFM) and readiness for prototype and production builds
 * Work closely with integration, product, test, and packaging teams to ensure successful system deployment

This role ensures Mythic's silicon can be transformed into robust, manufacturable, and deployable customer-ready hardware platforms.
