Hardware Team Leader – Data Center Switch Platforms

About the role

We are looking for a Hardware Team Leader to lead the development of high‑end data‑center Ethernet switch systems (51.2T / 102.4T and beyond). The role includes full ownership of system architecture, high‑speed board design, and execution, with a focus on high‑speed board design and high‑current power delivery networks.

Key responsibilities

• Define system architecture for switch platforms, including ASIC integration.
• Lead high‑speed PCB design for 112G / 224G PAM4 Ethernet and PCIe Gen5/6, defining stack‑up, materials, routing constraints, and channel budgets.
• Own multi‑phase VRM architecture for high‑current ASIC power delivery (300A+), collaborating with SI/PI teams on budgets, routing rules, and simulation correlation.
• Collaborate tightly with mechanical engineering on front panel, airflow, and thermal solutions.
• Lead bring‑up and validation, driving execution from concept to mass production.
• Lead and mentor the hardware team.

Required profile

• 10+ years of experience in hardware/system design.
• 3+ years of experience leading engineering teams.
• Strong experience with high‑speed systems (Ethernet and PCIe).
• Proven experience in switch platforms.
• Deep understanding of system‑level hardware design and integration.
• Ability to lead cross‑functional collaboration across electrical, mechanical, and system teams.
• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

Required skills

• 25G/56G/112G/224G PAM4 Ethernet systems.
• PCIe Gen4/5 (Gen6 advantage).
• High‑layer‑count PCB design.
• Multi‑phase VRM design for high‑current ASICs.
• Familiarity with SI/PI concepts and co‑design methodologies.
