What you will do

• Own the end-to-end hardware design lifecycle from system architecture and concept development through schematic design, PCB layout, bring-up, validation, qualification, and production.
• Lead high-performance, high-density, high-power circuit-board design with demanding electrical, thermal, and mechanical constraints.
• Design systems using 100G, 200G, and higher-speed serial signaling and interconnects.
• Develop and review schematics, power architectures, clocking solutions, high-speed interfaces, and board-level architectures.
• Design FPGA solutions, including device selection, configuration, interfaces, implementation, bring-up, and hardware/firmware integration.
• Drive signal integrity and power integrity analysis, liquid-cooled scale-up architectures, and cross-functional solutions with thermal, mechanical, firmware, software, and manufacturing teams.

Requirements

• 10+ years of hands-on hardware or board-design experience with complex, high-performance electronic systems.
• 10+ years of experience designing high-speed systems with 100G/200G-class signaling or comparable high-bandwidth interfaces.
• 10+ years of experience designing high-power, extremely dense PCBs and electronic systems.
• 10+ years of hands-on FPGA design experience, including independently designing and implementing FPGA-based solutions.
• 10+ years of strong knowledge of signal integrity and power integrity principles.
• 10+ years of experience with scale-up systems and high-performance computing, networking, AI/ML, accelerator, or similarly demanding architectures.
• 10+ years of experience with liquid cooling systems, including liquid-cooled hardware and system architectures.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to operate at both system-architecture and detailed board-design levels, take ownership of ambiguous technical problems, make engineering tradeoffs, and deliver production-ready systems.

Culture & Benefits

• Onsite work is expected primarily from an HPE office.
• Health and wellbeing benefits support physical, financial, and emotional wellbeing.
• Personal and professional development programs support career growth and knowledge development.
• An inclusive workplace values varied backgrounds and individual uniqueness.
