AI Accelerator Hardware Engineer — High-Performance Boards

Meta; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 118,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Meta is seeking a Hardware Engineer focused on accelerator design to develop custom AI accelerators and high-performance compute hardware for data center scale. You will work across digital design, power delivery, signal integrity, and board-level electrical engineering to bring accelerator systems from concept to production.

You will collaborate with silicon, firmware and thermal teams while performing pre- and post-silicon characterization, including eye diagrams and SerDes validation.

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 2+ years of experience in electrical or hardware engineering with a focus on high-performance compute, accelerator, or data center hardware design.
• 2+ years of experience with PCB schematic capture, layout review, and signal integrity analysis for high-speed digital interfaces (PCIe, DDR, HBM, SerDes).
• 2+ years of experience with power delivery network design and analysis, including decoupling strategy, voltage regulator selection, and power integrity simulation.
• Experience with hardware bring-up, electrical characterization, and debugging using lab instrumentation.

Responsibilities

• Design and validate electrical systems for custom AI accelerator hardware, including PCB layout review, power delivery network analysis, and signal integrity assessment.
• Develop and execute hardware bring-up plans for accelerator boards and system-level platforms in data center environments.
• Collaborate with silicon, firmware, and thermal engineering teams to define electrical requirements and resolve cross-domain design constraints.
• Perform pre- and post-silicon electrical characterization, including power rail measurements, eye diagram analysis, and high-speed SerDes validation.
• Develop and maintain electrical schematics and design documentation for accelerator subsystems.
• Support design-for-manufacturability reviews and work with contract manufacturers to resolve electrical yield and reliability issues.
• Analyze failure modes and conduct root cause investigations for electrical faults identified during validation or field deployment.
• Contribute to the definition of electrical test strategies and automated test equipment setups for accelerator hardware qualification.
• Engage with component vendors and suppliers to evaluate and qualify power management ICs, connectors, and high-speed interconnects for accelerator platforms.
