About The Position

We're seeking a Senior Compute Hardware Engineer to help design next-generation DNA sequencers. You'll own subsystem-level hardware design across compute, memory, I/O, and networking for edge-deployed systems with real-world power, thermal, size, and connectivity constraints. Working with senior engineers and partnering closely with firmware and Software teams, you'll drive subsystem ownership and contribute to platform-level decisions through hands-on technical work.

Requirements

  • Typically requires a minimum of 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 3 years and a Master’s degree; or a PhD without experience; or equivalent work experience.
  • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science highly preferred
  • 5+ years designing embedded/edge compute platforms, including x86 CPUs, DDR/LPDDR memory, and PCIe
  • Experience with edge networking hardware (Ethernet PHYs/switches, 10GbE) and networking/routing fundamentals
  • Strong Linux skills: device drivers, device tree, networking stack, and debug tools (perf, ftrace, ethtool, tcpdump, dmesg, sysfs/procfs)
  • Familiarity with bootloaders and firmware (BIOS, U-Boot, UEFI, secure boot, TPM/TEE)
  • Solid grounding in PCB/PCA design, high-speed signal integrity, power delivery, and thermal design
  • Proven contributions to board bring-up, DVT, and V&V documentation
  • Strong root cause analysis across hardware, firmware, and Linux stacks
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative, ownership-driven mindset

Responsibilities

  • Define hardware requirements and specifications for assigned subsystems based on workload, power, and environmental constraints
  • Evaluate and validate compute technologies, components (CPUs, SoMs, memory, PHYs, switches, storage), and vendor solutions
  • Implement networking subsystems for edge use cases, including wired Ethernet (1/2.5/10G)
  • Debug hardware and hardware/software issues across the Linux kernel, drivers, device tree, firmware, and bootloaders (U-Boot, UEFI); perform root cause analysis
  • Lead board bring-up and contribute to DVT plans covering signal integrity, thermal, power, EMI/EMC, and environmental testing
  • Design for remote deployment: secure boot, OTA updates, remote diagnostics, and long product lifecycles
  • Collaborate with electrical, firmware, and Linux systems teams; maintain design documentation and participate in design reviews

Benefits

  • access to genomics sequencing
  • family planning
  • health/dental/vision
  • retirement benefits
  • paid time off
