Role Summary

We are looking for a highly driven Hardware Engineer who is passionate about innovation and eager to build extraordinary products. In this role, you will help design next-generation Storage Server solutions, including high-density NAS, SAN, and unified storage systems with real global impact. You will collaborate directly with R&D labs across multiple countries, bringing your expertise, energy, and creativity into every stage of development. We value engineers who think beyond conventional solutions, embrace new challenges, and consistently engineer reliable, high-performance enterprise storage products.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with a global cross-functional team—including industrial design, layout, mechanical, SI, BSP, thermal, DQA, and product management—to drive new product development from concept through mass production.
• Lead or contribute to system architecture for storage servers, owning schematic capture, component selection, and PCB layout review to ensure ultra-high-speed signal integrity and robust high-power design.
• Design and validate high-density storage backplanes and connectivity solutions (e.g., NVMe/SATA/SAS topologies).
• Rapidly prototype concept hardware for mock-ups and feasibility studies; take a hands-on role in board bring-up, debugging, testing, and validation.
• Build and execute comprehensive hardware test and validation plans, focusing on data integrity and long-term storage reliability.
• Diagnose and resolve complex hardware challenges—from early-stage design issues to in-field anomalies—to ensure rock-solid performance and product reliability.
• Own and maintain the Hardware Requirements Document, ensuring a complete and accurate definition of system-level and component-level specifications.
• Conduct competitive teardowns and feature benchmarking to inform product and architecture decisions.

Requirement

• MS degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• 8+ years of hands-on hardware development experience with a proven record of delivering production-grade designs.
• Strong foundation in core electrical engineering principles with demonstrated expertise in digital and analog circuit design.
• Deep experience in high-speed interface architecture and signal validation, including DDR5, PCIe Gen4/5/6, NVMe, SAS3/SAS4, and SATA3.
• Practical experience with high-speed SerDes (up to 56G/112G), server-grade CPUs (x86/ARM), and PCH/Chipset integration.
• Solid understanding of server power delivery (VRM, PMIC) and advanced thermal management for high-density systems.
• Solid understanding of thermal management and EMI/EMC compliance design practices.
• Proficient with EDA tools for schematic and PCB development (e.g., OrCAD Capture, Cadence Allegro, Mentor PADS).
• Highly skilled with lab instrumentation—oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and comfortable with hands-on debugging.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to thrive in a fast-moving, cross-functional, and highly adaptive startup environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing hardware for enterprise-class storage systems, rackmount servers, or high-performance computing (HPC) platforms.
• Familiarity with BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), IPMI, and server management standards.
• Highly organized in managing complex hardware platforms, with a proactive approach to exploring new architectures and driving innovative product concepts.
• Strong self-motivation and ownership mindset, with a demonstrated ability to lead complex technical issues to full resolution.
