Hardware Engineering Manager

Quick Facts

• Role: Hardware Engineering Manager

• Focus: Cloud Networking Ethernet switches (design + verification)

• Onsite: Santa Clara HQ (majority onsite)

Description

Lead multiple cross-functional teams to drive the creation of industry-leading Cloud Networking Ethernet switches. You will provide technical guidance across the full hardware lifecycle—schematics, layout, board bring-up, system debug, and production readiness—while translating product direction into executable plans and aligning with vendor roadmaps. Manage, mentor, and motivate a team of hardware engineers and drive processes/tools that improve productivity and manufacturing first-pass yield.

Responsibilities

• Provide technical guidance for complex HW bring-up and cross-functional problems

• Oversee HW schematic entry, layout supervision, board bring-up, and system debug

• Work with product management to turn product direction into detailed design steps

• Drive vendor roadmaps for key components (ASICs, connectors, PCB vendors)

• Communicate project status/changes to mitigate unexpected issues

• Participate in schematic and board design reviews

• Analyze signal integrity and power integrity simulation/measurement results

• Develop and communicate priorities across a portfolio of projects

• Drive design quality with high first-pass yields

• Ensure prototype manufacturing infrastructure/capacity meets portfolio needs

• Act as the initial point of contact for customer escalations and supervise resolution

• Manage, mentor, and motivate hardware engineers

• Identify, define, and implement new processes and tools for HW team productivity
