Company

hirify.global is a semiconductor startup based in Sunnyvale, California, developing high-performance and energy-efficient graphics processors for immersive content creation, simulation, and consumption.

What you will do

• Own the end-to-end hardware development lifecycle for graphics compute platforms, GPU servers, and high-speed PCIe graphics form factors.
• Define physical system architecture, functional partitioning, board stack-ups, routing density, thermal mechanics, and power delivery networks.
• Design and optimize PCIe Gen 5/6 and scalable graphics interconnect topologies, including NVLink, Infinity Fabric, and UA Link.
• Coordinate silicon, signal integrity, power integrity, thermal, and mechanical co-design for high-performance graphics hardware.
• Direct international JDM/ODM engineering partners through architecture, layout execution, bring-up, validation, and component-level failure analysis.
• Govern DFX reviews and manufacturing transitions from EVT/DVT to high-volume manufacturing.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 8+ years of hardware design experience shipping graphics hardware, GPU motherboards, or high-density parallel compute accelerator boards.
• Hands-on experience with PCIe Gen 5/6, high-speed SerDes, and 112G/224G PAM4 architectures.
• Strong knowledge of high-frequency PCB constraints, via optimization, signal and power integrity, and high-transient-load power delivery networks.
• Proficiency with advanced EDA tools such as Cadence Allegro and OrCAD, plus physical-design simulation tools.
• Experience directing overseas ODM engineering teams through architectural definition, layout execution, and laboratory hardware triage.

Nice to have

• Experience with Open Compute Project standards or multi-GPU form factors.
• Familiarity with liquid cooling or phase-change thermal infrastructure.
• Hands-on use of oscilloscopes, VNAs, BERTs, and other high-speed validation equipment.
• Familiarity with CXL or scalable interconnect fabrics.

Culture & Benefits

• First-principles approach to solving complex hardware and graphics computing problems.
• Values include fearlessness, adaptability, and collaborative learning.
• Commitment to professionalism, integrity, respect, diversity, and inclusion.
• Equal opportunity employment for qualified applicants.
