Designs and maintains high-speed digital hardware for Nokia Service Router products. Responsibilities include ultra-high-speed PCB circuit design, simulation, verification testing, board bring-up, laboratory debugging, and taking complex board designs from concept through production release. The role requires collaboration with engineering teams, ownership of hardware integrity, and practical use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and digital debugging tools.

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.

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.

Designs electrical control systems for conveyor and material-handling equipment, including power calculations, 480V and 120V schematics, I/O drawings, PLC and panel layouts, field-device layouts, and material specifications. Collaborates with customers, sales engineers, and project managers to define requirements. Inspects, tests, commissions, and troubleshoots motor control panels for compliance with design standards, codes, and project specifications.

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.
