The Data Center Hardware Engineering team is looking for an electrical integration engineer to work on projects from design conception to mass production. This is a highly cross-functional role which requires balancing the needs and priorities of many other teams such as mechanical, power, software, firmware, silicon design, hardware validation, and reliability engineering. Come join us!
Description
The EE integration team is responsible for the design, specification and realization of high-performance compute solutions supporting customer's specific requirements. This is a design and validation position that entails owning electrical engineering implementation, documentation, and validation of customized compute designs.
The ideal candidate has electrical systems integration experience with emphasis in high-speed digital design using high-performance silicon. Day-to-day tasks involve electrical design, schematic capture, board layout guidance, simulation, bringup, debug, and validation. Routine responsibilities also include factory build support, and multi-disciplinary cross-functional collaboration and negotiation where strong documentation and communications skills are critical.
We are looking for candidates with a broad set of skill and interests, strong work ethic, and the curiosity to dig deep wherever necessary to solve challenging problems. In addition to technical capability, we prize curiosity, creativity, integrity, collaboration, and a passion for learning.

Understanding of computer architecture and design tradeoffs
Experience with PCB bringup and debug using standard EE lab equipment: Soldering, DMM, Oscilloscope, Logic Analyzer, Spectrum Analyzer
Experience in circuit design for a variety of domains including power, digital, analog, high-speed communications, and/or programmable logic
Experience with PCI Express (PCIe), 100-GbE, USB3/USB4 or similar high-speed serial protocols: electrical design, protocol fundamentals, compliance testing, and debug using protocol analyzer
Automation and data manipulation script development
Minimum Qualifications
BS in electrical or computer engineering required
Minimum 1+ years relevant industry work experience
Working knowledge of design and validation requirements for common low-speed and high-speed digital interfaces: I2C/SMBus, SPI, JTAG, USB, PCIe, Ethernet (SGMII, RMII, QSFP), DDR Memory
Excellent skills to debug problems from the system-level down to the transistor level
Outstanding written, verbal, and visual communication skills in order to develop functional specs, procedures, and other documentation needed for complex system integration
