• Experience leading hardware development through full product lifecycle from concept to production ramp.
• 5+ years of experience working with ODMs through the product development and manufacturing lifecycle.

• Define server architectures based on workload demand and customer requirements.
• Work with interdisciplinary teams to deliver cohesive designs.
• Drive design reviews with ODM/JDM partners covering schematic, layout, BOM, and manufacturing DFx.
• Define and execute validation strategies from PCBA bring-up through server and rack integration.
• Own hardware debug during EVT/DVT/PVT builds and correlate failures across various subsystems.
• Triage hardware issues at both ODM facilities and datacenters, conducting root cause analysis.
• Own fleet quality metrics post-launch and monitor operational telemetry to identify systemic issues.
• Collaborate with firmware, software, and operations teams to ensure designs are debuggable and serviceable.
