Hardware Engineer, Accelerator Design: our view in 3 lines...

  • The Role:This role is for an electrical or hardware engineer focused on accelerator design for AI infrastructure and data center hardware.
  • The Person:The person will design and validate electrical systems for custom AI accelerator hardware, develop hardware bring-up plans, work on pre- and post-silicon characterization, and support manufacturability, reliability, and failure analysis.
  • Requirements:The ideal candidate has a BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline, plus experience with PCB schematic capture, layout review, signal integrity analysis, power delivery network design, hardware bring-up, and electrical characterization.

About the role

Meta is building the next generation of AI infrastructure, and the silicon that powers it is central to that mission. As a Hardware Engineer focused on accelerator design, you will contribute to the development of custom AI accelerators and high-performance compute hardware that underpin Meta's data center infrastructure at scale. In this role, you will work across digital design, power delivery, signal integrity, and board-level electrical engineering to bring accelerator systems from concept to production, directly enabling the AI workloads that power Meta's products and services.

Responsibilities

  • Design and validate electrical systems for custom AI accelerator hardware, including PCB layout review, power delivery network analysis, and signal integrity assessment
  • Develop and execute hardware bring-up plans for accelerator boards and system-level platforms in data center environments
  • Collaborate with silicon, firmware, and thermal engineering teams to define electrical requirements and resolve cross-domain design constraints
  • Perform pre- and post-silicon electrical characterization, including power rail measurements, eye diagram analysis, and high-speed SerDes validation
  • Develop and maintain electrical schematics and design documentation for accelerator subsystems
  • Support design-for-manufacturability reviews and work with contract manufacturers to resolve electrical yield and reliability issues
  • Analyze failure modes and conduct root cause investigations for electrical faults identified during validation or field deployment
  • Contribute to the definition of electrical test strategies and automated test equipment setups for accelerator hardware qualification
  • Engage with component vendors and suppliers to evaluate and qualify power management ICs, connectors, and high-speed interconnects for accelerator platforms
Minimum Qualifications

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline
  • 2+ years of experience in electrical or hardware engineering with a focus on high-performance compute, accelerator, or data center hardware design
  • 2+ years of experience with PCB schematic capture, layout review, and signal integrity analysis for high-speed digital interfaces (e.g., PCIe, DDR, HBM, or SerDes-based links)
  • 2+ years of experience with power delivery network design and analysis, including decoupling strategy, voltage regulator selection, and power integrity simulation
  • Experience with hardware bring-up, electrical characterization, and debugging using lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, network analyzers, and power analyzers
Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to hardware reliability and qualification standards relevant to data center infrastructure (e.g., JEDEC, IPC)
  • Experience using simulation tools such as SPICE, HyperLynx, or Ansys SIwave for signal and power integrity analysis
  • Experience with custom ASIC or GPU accelerator board design, including co-design with silicon teams on package and board-level electrical interfaces
  • Familiarity with thermal-electrical co-design considerations for high-TDP accelerator systems in rack-scale data center deployments
