Role Description

We are seeking a highly motivated hardware engineer to join our team developing enterprise-grade network and storage products, including WiFi routers, Switches, Storage, and Server systems. This role will be responsible for hardware architecture design, schematic development, system integration, validation, and cross-functional collaboration throughout the product lifecycle.

The candidates will have a strong background in digital circuit design, system-level thinking, and experience with high-speed interfaces such as DDR, Ethernet, PCIe, and so on. You will collaborate closely with layout, mechanical, RF, DQA, firmware, and manufacturing teams to deliver robust and scalable hardware solutions. Also, one must be very aggressive in providing suggestions and comments at the design stages and thinking widely, and making decisions for designs

Responsibilities

• Lead or contribute to hardware architecture planning, including CPU/SoC platform selection, Ethernet switch/PHY ICs, Interface solutions, and high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet SerDes, USB, SATA).
• Design and review schematics, select components, and manage and optimize BOM for cost, quality, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate with layout engineers to optimize PCB stack-up, impedance control, signal, and power integrity.
• Work with RF, DQA, and SI teams to validate functionality, debug issues, and ensure product performance and reliability.
• Define and execute hardware validation test plans, document results, and assist in root cause analysis.
• Experience with EMC/ESD design and debugging techniques.
• Evaluate and recommend updates for DFC (Design for Cost), DFM (Design for Manufacturing), and DFA (Design for Assembly).
• Tear down competitor products to assess system architecture and solution.
• Provide regular updates on project status and coordinate with cross-functional teams to align milestones and deliverables.

Requirements

• MS degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Solid understanding of system-level hardware architecture for Networking, Storage, Server products, and RF fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience in digital circuit design, high-speed interface design (PCIe, Ethernet SerDes, USB, SATA), and power management (LDO, DC-DC, PMIC).
• Familiar with schematic and PCB design tools such as OrCAD, Allegro, or PADS.
• Proficient with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, network analyzers, and power supplies.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills, capable of working in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

Nice to have

• Experience in enterprise Switch/AP Router, Storage, or Server system hardware development.
• Highly organized in managing hardware platforms and proactive in developing innovative product concepts.
• Strong self-motivation with a proven ability to drive complex technical issues to resolution.

Benefits

• An international work environment with opportunities to collaborate closely with global development teams.
• Excellent working conditions in a supportive and innovative atmosphere.
• Competitive compensation package, including attractive salary, perks, and benefits.
• Comprehensive group and health insurance coverage.
• Complimentary drinks and snacks are available in the office.
