Responsibilities include synthesizable logic development, register maps, testbenches, timing analysis, schematic and layout guidance, signal integrity simulation, prototype bring-up, board validation, documentation, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Designs and validates electrical and electronic components, subsystems, integrated circuitry, and hardware solutions. Develops test plans covering tolerances, form, fit, function, shock, vibration, EMI, safety, reliability, thermal performance, and power. Performs feasibility, margin, validation, modeling, and empirical analyses; collaborates with internal and outsourced engineering partners; evaluates production reliability and supports prototype fabrication for reliable, cost-effective products.

Designs, integrates, and validates system-level embedded electronics for energy products. Responsibilities include digital and mixed-signal circuit design, schematic capture, PCB layout, interface implementation, board bring-up, hardware and firmware debugging, signal integrity, EMI/EMC, documentation, manufacturing transfer, and production support. The engineer owns hardware execution from requirements through release and collaborates with firmware and manufacturing teams.

Tests, validates, and troubleshoots next-generation cloud server hardware for performance, power, reliability, and quality. Develops test scripts, documents results, identifies defects, recommends improvements, and resolves hardware issues across engineering and manufacturing environments. Requires hands-on embedded systems debugging, Linux and scripting experience, and knowledge of server architecture, firmware, operating systems, networking, storage, and hardware acceleration technologies.

The role involves optimizing hardware support within a software stack for AI model deployment, collaborating with teams and hardware vendors to enhance performance and portability across platforms.

Lead and conduct post-silicon validation for AI compute blades and racks, ensuring performance meets product standards while collaborating with multiple teams and mentoring engineers.

Develop and own compute and GPU server platforms from architecture through global deployment. Responsibilities include schematic and layout reviews, design for manufacturability, new product introduction, board and system bring-up, validation, debugging, firmware and BIOS feature management, technology qualification, and vendor coordination. The role requires hands-on server architecture, board-level design, Linux and scripting expertise, platform validation, and five-day-per-week presence in the Cambridge office.

Pipeline hiring for hardware engineers at all experience levels. Work includes circuit board design, schematic capture, component selection and prototype bring-up, hardware debug/testing and failure analysis, integration with firmware/software teams, and design for manufacturability with production handoff.

Define and execute board- and system-level validation strategies and test plans. Perform hands-on bring-up, functional and electrical characterization, automated test development, debugging, root-cause analysis, and collaborate with ODMs and manufacturing to qualify products for mass production. Document results and present readiness assessments to stakeholders.

Design and own RTL hardware blocks for AI accelerator ASICs through microarchitecture, implementation, tapeout, and silicon bring-up. Develop high-performance SystemVerilog designs, meet power, performance, and area targets, and collaborate with verification and physical design teams. Implement assertions and run lint, CDC, LEC, synthesis, and timing flows. Support design reviews, post-silicon debugging, and improvements to ASIC design methodologies, including AI and automation in EDA workflows.

The Hardware Applications Engineer will lead customer design, system integration, PCB reviews, and training, ensuring optimal audio product performance and adoption.
