Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in server system architecture, motherboard design, or datacenter hardware engineering.
• Deep understanding of x86, ARM, or RISC-V server/SoC architectures, AI compute engine, multi-socket topologies, and enterprise-grade hardware design.
• Expert knowledge of datacenter connectivity standards, including PCIe, CXL, Ethernet, and memory technologies (DDR4/5, LPDDR).
• Solid understanding of server manageability standards (IPMI, Redfish, NC-SI) and BMC architectures; hands-on experience defining end-to-end RAS architectures.
• Proven ability to write detailed platform specifications and present complex system-level trade-offs to silicon designers and customers.
• Experience with Open Compute Project specifications and hyperscaler rack architectures.
• Understanding of multi-die/chiplet SoC architectures impact on power delivery and cooling.

Responsibilities

• Define the compute system architecture for datacenter platforms, including 1U/2U, multi-node, and OCP form factors.
• Architect system-level power delivery networks (PDN/VRM) and advanced cooling solutions to meet datacenter constraints.
• Define system-level topologies for high-speed I/O and memory interfaces (LP/DDR5/6, PCIe Gen 5/6, CXL) ensuring SI/PI targets are met.
• Design architectures for BMC, OpenBMC integration, hardware RoT, and system security (SPDM, TPMs).
• Partner with silicon, BIOS/UEFI, OS, and firmware teams to define ACPI tables, RAS flows, and power management states.
• Serve as primary technical interface for ODMs, OEMs, and CSPs to enable platform design, validation, and deployment.
