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 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
