Hardware Design Engineer, Systems
About The Position
The Everpure Engineering team builds the industry’s most innovative, high-performance, and highly available portfolio of storage products designed for the most demanding mission-critical applications. While we deliver hardware storage arrays, over 90% of our engineering staff are software engineers. Our customers are the core of our business, and they love FlashArray for its simplicity, continuous stream of upgrades, and ability to stay on the cutting edge without ever experiencing downtime. These innovations enable our customers to leverage the agility of the public cloud across both traditional IT and cloud-native applications.
Requirements
- 8+ years of hands-on experience in x86 architecture and storage-related hardware development, validation, and qualification.
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering (M.S. preferred).
- Deep expertise in x86 system architecture, CPU subsystems (DDR5, chipsets, BMC, ETH LOM, peripherals), and subcomponent selection (NVMe drives, AC/DC power supplies, discrete power circuits).
- Solid understanding of high-speed and control buses, including PCIe, UPI, SAS/SATA, and serial protocols (I²C, I³C, SPI, SVID).
- Experience with high-speed Ethernet technologies (1GbE to 400GbE).
- Hands-on capability reviewing high-speed signals using oscilloscopes and bus analyzers (trace capture and signal analysis).
- Expertise in analyzing device- and system-level power regulators, PWM selection/design, cooling dynamics, and electrical signal integrity (SI).
- Foundational knowledge of Verilog and CPLD design.
- Strong proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) for hardware qualification test development and automation.
- Experience configuring and running stress/qualification workloads using industry-standard tools (e.g., PTAT, Mprime, Iometer, Linpack, StressAppTest, SHC).
- Familiarity with leveraging AI tools (e.g., Claude, Gemini) to accelerate design checks, test script development, and diagnostic dashboards.
- Ability to collaborate with diagnostics engineers by setting direction and reviewing test plans for full coverage.
