Principal Engineer - AI and Compute Server Design
Hyve Company Overview
Hyve Solutions transforms complex engineering challenges into production reality for technology innovators building AI, cloud, and connected infrastructure. As a US-based manufacturing partner, the company rapidly delivers fast, agile execution through dep technical partnerships and co-innovation, and supply chain clarity. Hyve’s integrated ODM, CM, and SI capabilities eliminate vendor complexity while accelerating time-to-market with single-partner accountability from design through scale. The company co-innovates with deep engineering expertise, treating customer success as its own while building tomorrow's digital infrastructure.
Hyve Solutions designs and delivers industry-leading data center platforms for the world's largest Cloud and AI infrastructure providers. We partner directly with top Hyperscalers to architect, design, and deploy custom high-performance Server, Storage, and GPU solutions at massive scale. As a Principal Engineer on the AI and Compute Server Design team, you will own the end-to-end hardware design of next-generation GPU and compute servers and help build the platforms that power the next generation of AI infrastructure.
Core Responsibilities
- Lead board- and system-level hardware design. Own schematic design, layout direction, component selection, and board bring-up for GPU head nodes and compute servers, including power delivery, high-speed signaling, and management subsystems.
- Translate requirements into architecture. Partner directly with Hyperscalers to convert system-level and hardware requirements into executable engineering specifications and platform architectures.
- Drive full product lifecycle execution. Lead designs through EVT, DVT, and PVT phases, including signal-integrity/power-integrity analysis, design reviews, and risk assessment, ensuring performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
- Support manufacturing ramp and deployment. Collaborate with Operations, MFG, and Quality teams to scale from prototype to high-volume production, and support datacenter deployment with rapid issue triage and corrective action.
- Provide technical leadership. Mentor engineers, establish best-practice workflows for schematic reviews, documentation, and validation, and lead complex root-cause debug across hardware, firmware, and system-integration domains.
Required Qualifications & Skills
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience: 10+ years of hardware design experience, including board- and system-level engineering, with proven ownership of high-performance server or GPU/accelerator designs from concept through production. Direct experience with Hyperscalers or large cloud providers strongly preferred.
- Technical expertise: Deep understanding of high-speed interfaces (PCIe Gen5/6, CXL, NVLink, Ethernet), power delivery networks, SI/PDN design, thermal considerations, and complex multi-board systems; demonstrated success leading EVT/DVT/PVT validation and manufacturing ramp.
- Systems thinking: Ability to architect and debug complex interactions across CPUs, GPUs, accelerators, system fabrics, firmware, and rack-level ecosystems.
- Communication: Expert at working across multi-functional teams, influencing without authority, and representing engineering decisions to technical leaders and executives.
Compensation: $214,000 to $285,000 D.O.E.
