Your Team, Your Impact

We are seeking a Director of Hardware Engineering to lead the design, analysis, and validation of high-speed board-level hardware for advanced Ser Des-based systems. The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in high-speed PCB design, signal integrity (SI), and power integrity (PI) with strong leadership experience in guiding multidisciplinary engineering teams.

You will be responsible for defining board architectures, ensuring SI/PI compliance, managing prototype validation, and delivering high-performance hardware that meets timing, reliability, and manufacturability goals.

What You Can Expect Leadership & Strategy

• Lead and mentor a high-performance team of hardware engineers focused on PCB design, SI/PI analysis, and board bring-up.

• Define hardware engineering roadmap and standards for high-speed Ser Des board designs.

• Collaborate with executive leadership and cross-functional teams to align technical strategy with business objectives.

Technical Direction

• Oversee high-speed PCB design, including layout, stackup planning, routing, and signal/power integrity optimization.

• Lead signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) simulations, including crosstalk, return loss, insertion loss, and PDN analysis.

• Ensure robust integration with Ser Des ICs, memory, connectors, and high-speed interconnects.

• Establish board-level validation, lab testing, and measurement methodologies for high-speed interfaces.

• Provide guidance on thermal management and manufacturability.

Execution Management

• Manage the full hardware lifecycle: concept, schematic, layout, prototype, testing, and production release.

• Define and enforce engineering best practices, design rules, and documentation standards.

• Coordinate with IC, firmware, and system teams to ensure end-to-end signal and power performance.

• Drive continuous improvement in design methodologies, SI/PI tool flows, and lab measurement capabilities.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.

• 12 years of hardware engineering experience, including 5 years in leadership or management.

• Deep expertise in high-speed PCB layout, Ser Des board-level design, and SI/PI analysis.

• Past experience and familiarity with SI/PI simulation tools (e.g., Hyper Lynx, Ansys SIwave, CST, Keysight ADS).

• Strong understanding of power delivery networks, signal integrity, and high-speed design constraints.

• Proven track record in leading hardware teams from concept through production for high-speed systems.

Preferred:

• Experience with multi-layer high-speed boards, differential signaling, and advanced connectors.

• Familiarity with high-performance computing, networking, or data center hardware platforms.

• Experience with lab-based high-speed measurements, such as TDR, VNA, and eye-diagram analysis.

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)

185,390 - 277,700, $ per annum

The successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location and market conditions. The expected base pay range for this role may be modified based on market conditions.
