  • Programming or scripting skills (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for data analysis or automation.
  • Coursework or hands-on project experience in one or more hardware engineering domains.

Responsibilities

  • Support thermal, mechanical, electrical, or reliability analysis and design of server hardware.
  • Perform design simulation (thermal, structural, signal integrity, or power).
  • Validate hardware and debug issues at the board, system, or rack level.
  • Develop and execute test plans for hardware qualification and reliability.
  • Characterize materials and components for server applications.
  • Support PCB schematic and layout reviews.
  • Develop automated test tools and data analysis methods.
  • Travel to support engineering builds at manufacturing partners.

Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
