Hardware Lead – NAS/Storage

About the Role

We’re building a brand-new product team to develop enterprise-level NAS solutions, and we are looking for a seasoned Product Solution Lead (PSL) to take ownership of the system architecture and integration. This role goes beyond traditional hardware development—you're expected to define the full hardware blueprint and work with ME, FW, PM, and ODM partners to bring a robust storage product to life.

If you enjoy driving product solutions from a holistic, system-level perspective and collaborating across disciplines, this role is for you.

• Collaborate with EE, ME, FW, DQA, and PM to drive concept-to-MP delivery

• Own system-level risk assessment, feasibility studies, and bring-up strategies

• Serve as the central driver in ODM/JDM collaboration and milestone tracking

• Review system validation results, propose improvements, and solve cross-functional issues

• Stay updated on storage trends, RAID architecture, and emerging SoC technologies

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's in EE, or related discipline

• Over 8 years in hardware system design or product development

• Familiarity with enterprise storage/NAS system architecture strongly preferred

• Experience working with x86/ARM SoC, SATA/NVMe, DDR, network interfaces (1G/2.5G/10G)

• Track record of leading cross-functional collaboration across HW, FW, ME

• Strong technical judgment in balancing cost, performance, thermal, and reliability

• Clear communicator with a strong ownership mindset

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguity-tolerant environment
