Monitor device health, validate drive swaps and rebuilds, investigate performance and stability issues, support Linux diagnostics, and collaborate on complex cross-layer debugging. Document and standardize operational procedures while ensuring system reliability and consistency.

Design, validate, and ship production hardware platforms for edge AI systems. Lead silicon and component selection, system integration, security (secure boot, roots of trust), validation, certification, procurement, and supplier management to optimize reliability, performance, manufacturability, and total cost across fleet deployments.

Tests, validates, and troubleshoots next-generation cloud server hardware for performance, power, reliability, and quality. Develops test scripts, documents results, identifies defects, recommends improvements, and resolves hardware issues across engineering and manufacturing environments. Requires hands-on embedded systems debugging, Linux and scripting experience, and knowledge of server architecture, firmware, operating systems, networking, storage, and hardware acceleration technologies.

Designs and develops digital, analog, mixed-signal, FPGA, RF, LiDAR, antenna, power, and control hardware for aerospace and defense systems. Responsibilities span circuit modeling, simulation, PCB collaboration, prototype development, laboratory and environmental testing, qualification, troubleshooting, and system integration. The engineer translates system requirements into hardware architectures and develops ruggedized designs for demanding tactical environments, collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Designs and develops FPGA SmartNIC networking acceleration for Microsoft Azure. Responsibilities include hardware architecture evaluation, RTL coding in Verilog/SystemVerilog, simulation, hardware testing, debugging, verification, scripting, software development, Agile collaboration, and production DevOps support. The role partners across hardware and software teams to deliver cloud networking infrastructure, including SDN capabilities, packet manipulation, and performance improvements.

Support sustainment and operational maintenance of ground-based radar systems for US Space Force missions. Perform depot-level maintenance, troubleshooting, testing, calibration, repair, systems integration, and lab maintenance. Create engineering drawings, rack assembly documentation, wiring diagrams, and cable assemblies in accordance with ASME and IEEE standards. Document maintenance outcomes and coordinate with engineering teams on lifecycle management, upgrades, and modernization of complex military electronic systems.

The role involves optimizing hardware support within a software stack for AI model deployment, collaborating with teams and hardware vendors to enhance performance and portability across platforms.

Lead the architecture, design, prototyping, and deployment of high-speed mixed-signal control electronics for quantum computers. Responsibilities include analog and RF front-end design, ADC/DAC selection, board-level circuit design, schematic capture, PCB development in Altium Designer, and hardware bring-up, verification, and testing. The role collaborates with quantum, FPGA, firmware, and software engineers and drives multiple concurrent hardware projects.

Owns the hardware lifecycle for GPU and infrastructure assets, including fleet health monitoring, vendor RMA workflows, firmware and BIOS upgrades, burn-in testing, failure investigation, inventory accuracy, capacity planning, spare-parts strategy, runbook creation, and new platform qualification. The role serves as the technical owner of physical compute platforms and supports high-density GPU infrastructure across sites.

Develop and own compute and GPU server platforms from architecture through global deployment. Responsibilities include schematic and layout reviews, design for manufacturability, new product introduction, board and system bring-up, validation, debugging, firmware and BIOS feature management, technology qualification, and vendor coordination. The role requires hands-on server architecture, board-level design, Linux and scripting expertise, platform validation, and five-day-per-week presence in the Cambridge office.

The Principal Hardware Engineer will focus on improving robotics reliability, electrical integrity during production, and collaborating with an international engineering team to enhance designs for real-world usage.

Pipeline hiring for hardware engineers at all experience levels. Work includes circuit board design, schematic capture, component selection and prototype bring-up, hardware debug/testing and failure analysis, integration with firmware/software teams, and design for manufacturability with production handoff.
