Job summary

Hyve Solutions seeks a senior hardware engineer to drive new server and rack hardware readiness from EVT to MP. You will validate mechanical and electro-mechanical integration, coordinate first articles, and coordinate with Test Engineering to ensure robust diagnostics and thermal performance.

You will lead root-cause analysis, manage ECNs/ECOs, and ensure accurate BOMs and revisions. This role requires strong problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in NPI, Hardware Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or electro-mechanical product development.
• Hands-on experience with server, rack, PCBA, or electro-mechanical hardware builds.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, CAD models, schematics, and specifications.
• Experience with ECO/ECR processes and PLM/ERP systems (Agile, Arena, SAP, Oracle, etc.).
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to lead cross-functional issue resolution.

Responsibilities

• Lead hardware readiness for new server and rack SKUs through EVT → DVT → PVT → MP phases.
• Validate mechanical and electro-mechanical integration: chassis, brackets, heatsinks, cables, PCBA fit, airflow, and component placement.
• Coordinate and execute first-article builds, ensuring hardware components, tooling, and fixtures are ready.
• Partner with Test Engineering to ensure hardware supports diagnostic flows, thermal profiles, and stress testing.
• Lead root-cause analysis for hardware-related failures and drive corrective actions.
• Review and implement ECNs/ECOs related to hardware components, assemblies, and configurations.
• Collaborate with Document Control and BOM Specialists to ensure accurate BOM structure, part numbers, alternates, and revisions.
• Validate assembly sequences, torque specs, mechanical tolerances, and ergonomic considerations.
• Ensure new hardware builds achieve stable FPY, predictable cycle time, and minimal rework before production release.
• Recommend design improvements to enhance manufacturability, reduce assembly time, and improve reliability.
• Drive improvements in hardware validation methods, pilot build structure, and cross-functional communication.
