Function: Principal Member of Technical Staff | Discipline: High Speed Board Design & Server Platform Architecture | Level: Principal / Staff (Senior Individual Contributor) | Location: Bangalore, India | Department: Server Platform Design / System Hardware Engineering
We are looking for an exceptionally skilled and experienced Principal Member of Technical Staff to join our Server platform Hardware Engineering team, specializing in High Speed Board Design. This is a senior individual contributor role that combines deep technical expertise with leadership responsibility across complex, multi-generational hardware programs.
The ideal candidate is a seasoned hardware engineer who thrives at the intersection of signal integrity, power integrity, and system-level design — someone who can independently drive technically complex designs from concept to production while also guiding and mentoring the engineers around them.
This role operates at the forefront of hardware innovation, working on high-performance computing platforms, data center solutions, or next-generation semiconductor evaluation and validation systems. The engineer in this role will be expected to define technical direction, establish design methodology, and be the go-to authority for high speed board design challenges across the organization.
The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of deep hardware expertise and collaborative leadership. They are recognised as the go-to authority in platform design — someone who can resolve complex problems that others cannot, while remaining humble enough to mentor and grow the engineers around them.
They demonstrate full ownership — from concept to production — and approach ambiguous, multi-disciplinary problems with a systematic mindset. They communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, and represent the team with confidence in cross-functional and vendor discussions.
Above all, they have an innovation mindset — constantly looking for better ways to design, review, and validate hardware — and they actively invest in the growth of the engineers around them. They are collaborative across disciplines (SI, firmware, mechanical, test, silicon) and comfortable navigating shifting priorities and new technology domains.
What success looks like:
In the first 6 months: Deep understanding of team programs, tools, and design standards; actively contributing to design reviews and board bring-up; identified at least one methodology improvement opportunity.
Within the first year: Owning one or more high-speed board designs from specification through layout sign-off; recognised as a trusted technical resource; contributed to or defined updated design standards.
Over time: Defining the technical direction for platform architecture within the organisation; producing benchmark designs for quality and reliability; developing the next generation of hardware design engineers on the team.
