About the role
As a Hardware Design Engineer on the Data Center Systems Engineering team, you will contribute to GPU platforms for AI and data center applications across system architecture, board design, layout, bring-up, validation, and production readiness.
What you'll do
- Lead and contribute to the development of Data Center GPU systems and accelerator cards from architecture through production readiness.
- Partner with silicon architecture teams to define system architecture, platform requirements, interfaces, and technical product specifications.
- Drive board-level electrical design, including schematic development, component selection, design reviews, and design verification.
- Oversee PCB layout and partner with Signal Integrity and Power Integrity teams to implement high-speed routing requirements, power-delivery solutions, and design constraints.
- Collaborate with manufacturing, validation, and test teams to ensure Design for Manufacturing and Design for Test implementation.
- Plan and lead board bring-up, hardware validation, root-cause analysis, and system debugging using oscilloscopes and laboratory instrumentation.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
- Board-level design experience with professional proficiency in the Cadence design environment.
- Understanding of computer architecture, high-speed interfaces, signal integrity, power delivery, and system-level hardware design.
- Hands-on hardware design and product-development experience, preferably involving complex multilayer PCB systems.
- Experience with hardware bring-up, root-cause analysis, and laboratory instrumentation such as oscilloscopes to characterize and debug high-speed interfaces and power systems.
Nice to have
- Hands-on design experience with Data Center GPU, accelerator, server, or other high-performance compute platforms.
- Understanding of AI data center rack architecture, including compute, networking, management, power, and system-level building blocks.
- Strong experience with Cadence schematic capture, PCB design, and related design and constraint-management tools.
- Experience designing and debugging high-speed interfaces such as PCI Express, XGMI, LPDDR, and other multi-gigabit SerDes technologies.
- Knowledge of high-speed PCB design, signal integrity, PHY architecture, transmitter equalization, receiver signal processing, channel analysis, and eye-diagram measurements.
- Experience working with power-delivery networks, voltage regulation, sequencing, telemetry, and board-level power architectures.
- Familiarity with platform-management technologies and firmware interfaces such as Redfish and system telemetry.
- Experience developing or integrating FPGA-based subsystems, including RTL, FPGA configuration, validation, and test environments.
- Experience with BOM management, component lifecycle management, and engineering change processes.

How we counted: 1150 open Hardware Systems Engineering (AI ML Hardware) roles from 109 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 11 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Software, Firmware & Systems family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
