About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Own the electromechanical design of inference hardware from engineering configuration to deployable product
  • Define form factor, thermal solution and airflow, connectors and cabling, and power and thermal envelope
  • Build the mechanical definition of shipped products, including assembly structure, BOM, and component envelopes
  • Identify assembly, cooling, and serviceability problems before parts are ordered
  • Define mechanical integration of compute, host platform, networking, and power in the chassis
  • Validate airflow and thermals with the system fully populated
  • Design for technician serviceability in a live rack
  • Set rack configuration, power distribution layout, cabling, weight and blanking plan, and mounting approach
  • Own drawing and BOM releases, manufacturability, supplier engineering reviews, and resolution of build failures
  • Evaluate cost and lead-time consequences of design and supplier choices
  • Run bring-up and validation on real hardware in the lab
  • Own mechanical and thermal qualification, test specifications and procedures
  • Run shock, vibration, and thermal cycling tests
  • Investigate lab and field failures to root cause
  • Coordinate safety and EMC certification and environmental compliance with the electrical team and test lab
  • Partner with silicon, systems, deployment engineers, and external design and manufacturing partners

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Six or more years, or equivalent shipped work, owning accelerator or server hardware
  • Taken a relevant design from prototype through qualification and production
  • Strong mechanical design skills in SolidWorks, Creo, NX, or similar
