Job Description

• Define the technical roadmap for server hardware platforms and advanced package technologies (e.g., 2.5D/3D IC, chiplets, system-in-package). • Oversee end-to-end system design, including high-speed board-level hardware, ASIC packaging, SI/PI simulations, and PCB layout. • Lead and mentor a multidisciplinary team of electrical, mechanical, and package engineers. • Partner with silicon design, firmware, software, and manufacturing teams to ensure integration and manufacturability (DFM/DFT). • Interface with OSAT and ODM partners to drive packaging technologies, prototype builds, and manufacturing quality. • Guide system bring-up, validation, and debug, including thermal and power management. • Own the full hardware lifecycle from concept through volume production, including schedules and budgets.

Job Requirements

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Materials Science.
  • 10+ years of experience in hardware system design, including at least 5+ years in a technical leadership or management role.
  • Deep expertise in server architecture, data center hardware, and high-speed interfaces (PCIe Gen5/6, DDR5/6, CXL).
  • Strong knowledge of advanced chip packaging techniques such as chiplets, interposers, and flip-chip BGA.
  • Proficiency with simulation tools (ANSYS HFSS/SIwave, Cadence Sigrity, Mentor Graphics) and PCB CAD tools (Allegro or similar).
  • Demonstrated experience leading multidisciplinary teams and delivering complex, high-volume hardware products.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Experience with advanced cooling solutions (liquid cooling, vapor chambers) for high-TDP servers.
  • Knowledge of scripting languages for automation (Python, Tcl).
  • Record of patents or technical publications in semiconductor packaging.

Benefits

  • This position will require moderate travel to meet with team members and visit partners and suppliers, including ODMs in Asia.
  • We do not accept resumes from agencies or search firms. Please do not forward candidate profiles through our careers page, email, LinkedIn messages, or directly to company employees.
