Senior Electrical Engineer - AI Accelerator Hardware

Acceler8 Talent; Mountain View (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

Acceler8 Talent is seeking an Electrical Engineer to own the board-level design for AI accelerator hardware, from schematics through production, in Mountain View.

You will collaborate with silicon, packaging, SI/PI, and firmware teams to deliver reliable, high-performance systems, with hands-on bring-up and testing.

Ideal candidates have 5+ years in high-speed digital design, PCB layout, and experience with Altium/Cadence Allegro, plus strong power integrity knowledge and DFx mindset.

Qualifications

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years of board-level or system-level electrical design for complex, high-speed digital systems.
• Strong experience with schematic capture and PCB design tools such as Altium, Cadence Allegro, or equivalent.
• Experience designing high-speed interfaces, including DDR/LPDDR, PCIe, and SerDes.
• Strong understanding of power-delivery design, signal integrity, power integrity, and board-level EMC.
• Hands-on experience with board bring-up, hardware debugging, and electrical validation.
• Proficiency with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and power characterization equipment.

Responsibilities

• Own schematic design and oversee PCB layout for AI accelerator boards and system hardware, including high-speed digital interfaces, power delivery, and clocking.
• Design and validate power-delivery networks (PDNs) and voltage rails for high-current accelerator silicon.
• Collaborate with SI/PI and packaging engineers to optimize board-to-package interfaces.
• Lead board bring-up, debugging, characterization, and validation using oscilloscopes, logic/protocol analyzers, and power/thermal instrumentation.
• Drive component selection, design for manufacturability (DFM), and design for testability (DFT).
• Work with contract manufacturers and vendors throughout fabrication, assembly, and production.
• Resolve complex electrical issues across silicon, packaging, hardware, thermal, and firmware teams.
• Leverage AI-assisted design and debugging tools to improve engineering efficiency.
