Hardware Engineer, AI Accelerator Module Design

Meta•Austin, TX

2d•$118,000 - $170,000

About The Position

Meta is hiring a Hardware Engineer focused on AI accelerator module design to help develop custom AI accelerators and high-performance compute hardware for its data center infrastructure. The role spans digital design, power delivery, signal integrity, and board-level electrical engineering, supporting accelerator systems from concept through production. The engineer will design and validate electrical systems, bring up accelerator boards and platforms, perform electrical characterization and debugging, and work with silicon, firmware, thermal engineering, manufacturing, and supplier teams. The position also supports qualification, reliability investigations, and electrical test strategy development.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
At least 2 years of experience in electrical or hardware engineering focused on high-performance compute, accelerator, or data center hardware design.
At least 2 years of experience with PCB schematic capture, layout review, and signal integrity analysis for high-speed digital interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, HBM, or SerDes-based links.
At least 2 years of experience with power delivery network design and analysis, including decoupling strategy, voltage regulator selection, and power integrity simulation.
Experience with hardware bring-up, electrical characterization, and debugging using lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, network analyzers, and power analyzers.

Nice To Haves

Experience with custom ASIC or GPU accelerator board design, including co-design with silicon teams on package and board-level electrical interfaces.
Exposure to hardware reliability and qualification standards relevant to data center infrastructure, such as JEDEC and IPC.
Experience using simulation tools such as SPICE, HyperLynx, or Ansys SIwave for signal and power integrity analysis.
Familiarity with thermal-electrical co-design considerations for high-TDP accelerator systems in rack-scale data center deployments.

Responsibilities

Design and validate electrical systems for custom AI accelerator hardware, including PCB layout review, power delivery network analysis, and signal integrity assessment.
Develop and execute hardware bring-up plans for accelerator boards and system-level platforms in data center environments.
Collaborate with silicon, firmware, and thermal engineering teams to define electrical requirements and resolve cross-domain design constraints.
Perform pre- and post-silicon electrical characterization, including power rail measurements, eye diagram analysis, and high-speed SerDes validation.
Develop and maintain electrical schematics and design documentation for accelerator subsystems.
Support design-for-manufacturability reviews and work with contract manufacturers to resolve electrical yield and reliability issues.
Analyze failure modes and conduct root cause investigations for electrical faults identified during validation or field deployment.
Contribute to the definition of electrical test strategies and automated test equipment setups for accelerator hardware qualification.
Engage with component vendors and suppliers to evaluate and qualify power management ICs, connectors, and high-speed interconnects for accelerator platforms.
