Board design

A high-profile, well-funded Stealth Mode startup pioneering breakthrough AI technologies for next-generation semiconductor and silicon architectures. Founded by a prominent serial entrepreneur with a proven track record of major exits in the semiconductor space, the company brings together top-tier engineering talent from premier tech enterprises. Experiencing rapid growth and employing hundreds of professionals, the organization operates two advanced R&D hubs to provide exceptional location flexibility. Located in Central Tel Aviv or the Northern Sharon / Coastal region (both within short walking distance from train stations), operating on a hybrid work model with 1 day WFH per week. Role Description- • Serving as a Principal / Senior Hardware Board Design Engineer, architecting and designing high-performance, complex hardware platforms tailored for advanced AI Data Center environments. • Leading end-to-end multi-layer high-speed PCB board designs incorporating ultra-high-speed interfaces (PCIe Gen6, 112G/224G SerDes, Retimers, and Network Switches). • Architecting high-power Power Supply Units (PSU), power distribution networks (PDN), and high-efficiency thermal/loss management solutions. • Owning the hardware development lifecycle end-to-end: from architecture and schematic capture through board bring-up, signal integrity validation, debugging, and production line transfer. • Performing hands-on lab bring-up and characterization using advanced high-speed test and measurement equipment (High-bandwidth Oscilloscopes, BERT, VNAs). • Driving HW-SW integration, system-level testing, and collaborating with manufacturing subcontractors and cross-functional R&D teams. Requirements- • B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a related technical discipline – Mandatory • 6 years of hands-on experience in Complex Hardware / Board Design, preferably for high-speed digital Data Center / Mass Production systems – Mandatory • Proven expertise in Multi-Layer High-Speed PCB Design with cutting-edge interfaces: PCIe Gen6, 112G / 224G SerDes, Retimers, and high-speed switching – Mandatory • In-depth experience with High-Power PSU Design, including power integrity, thermal optimization, and loss analysis – Mandatory • Hands-on proficiency with Cadence tools (OrCAD, Allegro) – Mandatory • Extensive track record in Board Bring-Up, Signal Integrity (SI) validation, and Hardware Debugging using high-end lab equipment – Mandatory • Proven experience supporting manufacturing lines, NPI processes, and collaborating with external assembly subcontractors (CMs) – Mandatory • Experience with CPLD / FPGA Design (Verilog / VHDL) – Advantage • Background in Analog Circuit Design – Advantage
