Hardware Design Architect

Architect complex hardware - 5G radios, AI and NPU accelerator systems, edge compute - where FPGAs, AI accelerators, CPUs and GPUs have to work together on a board, inside real power, thermal and signal-integrity limits.

Full time12+ yearsBengaluru, India · United States

THE WORK

What the role involves.

• Own the board and system architecture for complex hardware - 5G radio units, AI and NPU accelerator systems, edge compute - partitioning the design across FPGA, accelerator, CPU and GPU.
• Choose the devices and interfaces - SoCs, FPGAs, AI accelerators, memory, SerDes, PCIe, DDR, Ethernet - and own the high-speed digital design and the signal and power integrity.
• Set the power, thermal and cost budgets, and own the trade-offs between them and performance.
• Drive the design from architecture through schematic, layout review and board bring-up, with the firmware and silicon teams.
• Stand in front of customers on the hard system-level calls, and set the hardware sign-off criteria.

TO APPLY

Send us something specific.

A CV is fine. What helps more is a paragraph about a problem you solved that was harder than it looked, and what you would do differently now. Apply through our application form - attach your résumé and write a cover letter. The cover letter is required.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What engineers ask before they call.

01

Where is this role based?

Bengaluru, India, or the United States - this role is open in both. Full time.

02

What experience is expected?

12+ years. The range is a guide rather than a filter - make the case if you are outside it.

03

How do I apply?

Apply through the application form. A résumé and a cover letter are both required - the cover letter is not optional.
