Hardware Design Engineer

Key Responsibilities: 1. Board Design and Development: Design and develop high-complexity server boards, including processor boards, power delivery subsystems, and peripheral interface cards. Create detailed schematic designs and guide PCB layout to ensure signal integrity and thermal management. 2. Design Validation and Debug: Validate board designs through simulations (hyperlynx, sigrity, SI wave) and physical testing (Board bring up, functional testing) to ensure functionality and performance meet AMD’s standards. Debug hardware issues and provide root cause analysis and solutions. Hands-on experience with lab equipment – Oscilloscope , Power meters, DMM,Protocol analyzer etc., 3. Collaboration and Documentation: Work with silicon, firmware, and manufacturing teams to align board designs with product specifications Generate detailed design documentation, including schematics, BOMs, and test plans, to support manufacturing and production teams. 4. Signal Integrity and Power Analysis: Perform signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal analysis on board designs. Optimize designs to meet performance, manufacturability, and reliabilityrequirements. 5. Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Work closely with PCB fabricators and assembly houses to ensure designs are manufacturable at scale. Review and incorporate DFM feedback into board designs. Qualifications: Education & Experience: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field. 8 years of experience in board design for high-performance computing or server products. Technical Skills: Proficiency in schematic capture tools (e.g., OrCAD, Cadence Allegro Design Entry). Expertise in PCB layout tools (e.g., Cadence Allegro PCB Editor). Strong understanding of high-speed signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal design principles. Familiarity with interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, NVMe, USB, and high-speed serial links. Experience with system-level debug tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers. Knowledge of power delivery network design and voltage regulator module selection. Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving and analytical skills. Excellent communication and teamwork abilities. Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
