Design, develop, and validate embedded control boards for power conversion and power electronics systems. Responsibilities include control architecture, sensing circuits, ADC signal chains, mixed-signal PCB design, schematic and layout review, board bring-up, laboratory testing, troubleshooting, and integration with firmware, controls, sensors, gate drivers, and power stages.

Leads technical pre-sales engagements for geospatial navigation solutions across enterprise and defense accounts. Architects GNSS, INS, FOG, and multisensor systems; leads proofs of concept, field testing, integrations, demonstrations, and executive presentations. Partners with sales, product, and R&D teams to address technical objections and influence product roadmaps. Provides technical mentorship while supporting complex customer deployments and traveling extensively to client and testing sites.

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.

Develop and operate Akamai’s Linux-based cloud infrastructure, including bare-metal and virtual machine platforms, kernels, operating systems, and KVM/QEMU virtualization. Build software, automation, observability, and infrastructure enhancements at scale; troubleshoot complex distributed-system issues; collaborate across engineering and operations; mentor team members; and participate in on-call service restoration.

Provides technical leadership and mentoring while operating, maintaining, troubleshooting, repairing, and modernizing C-band and Ka-band radar hardware systems. Supports RF and high-power transmitter equipment, control hardware, circuit card assemblies, and high-voltage systems. Performs preventive maintenance, diagnostics, installation, calibration, testing, and acceptance testing. Requires relocation to Kwajalein Atoll, U.S. citizenship, Secret clearance eligibility, and occasional weekend or non-duty-hours support.

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.

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.

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.

The Electrical Hardware Design Engineer will design, develop, and test complex electronic systems, collaborating across engineering disciplines to create solutions for defense and aerospace applications.

Design, build, and operate reliable backend systems while mentoring engineers, participating in design discussions, and improving system performance.
