About the role

Own the mechanical design of AI accelerator systems from the accelerator board to the tray, rack, and datacenter. You'll design power delivery, cooling, and high-speed signal connectivity systems for extremely dense, high-performance computing equipment.

What they're looking for

  • Exceptional abilities in system-scale mechanical design for high-power electronics: enclosure and chassis structure, thermal and mechanical integration, and design for service and manufacturability
  • 5+ years of mechanical design experience on datacenter, server, or comparable high-power electronic systems, with demonstrated ownership of a design from concept through high-volume production
  • Highly capable in 3D CAD modeling
  • Structural, transient, and multiphysics analysis skills including finite element analysis
  • Demonstrated ability to work closely with thermal, electrical, packaging, and manufacturing teams, and with CM and ODM partners, to converge and release system designs
  • Skilled in mechanical tolerance analysis, GD&T, and mechanical drawing creation
More about this role

Own the mechanical design of AI accelerator systems from the accelerator board to the tray, rack, and datacenter. You'll design power delivery, cooling, and high-speed signal connectivity systems for extremely dense, high-performance computing equipment. You'll own the tolerance stack-ups that make module, tray, and rack actually fit together, run the structural and shock-and-vibration analysis that proves it survives shipping and deployment, and work the tradeoffs with thermal, electrical, and silicon packaging engineering teams that decide what the system can be. Work from concept through datacenter deployment.

Accelerator module mechanical design — module structure, retention and load, board and coldplate integration, PCBA co-design and stress analysis, coolant and air flow co-design, and connector definition

Tray design — chassis structure, component layout, cable and connector routing, blind-mate alignment, and serviceability

Partner with thermal, electrical, packaging, and manufacturing teams on design tradeoffs, and drive DFM and DFA with our CM and ODM partners.

Own products through their lifecycle including design, prototyping, engineering and reliability validation...
