Bring up, validate, port, and optimize support for new accelerator architectures across kernels, compilers, runtimes, graph execution, and model serving. Investigate cross-layer correctness and performance issues, develop hardware and ISA expertise, map AI operators to novel platforms, build portability infrastructure, benchmark workloads, and collaborate with hardware vendors to deliver production-quality integrations.

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.

Manages manufacturing engineering performance across assigned aerospace suppliers. Coordinates multifunctional teams, resolves technical and delivery issues, guides supplier manufacturing processes, drives cost reduction, supports supplier selection and source changes, and develops underperforming suppliers. The role requires expertise across machining and additive manufacturing processes, supplier performance management, production control, and complex project coordination.

Designs and develops hardware test boards and platforms for high-speed electro-optical device characterization in R&D and manufacturing environments. Performs laboratory testing, analog design and debugging, test-system development, hardware bring-up, and firmware development for microcontrollers. Supports System-on-Chip optical engine development and interfaces with vendors. Preferred experience includes power supply design, advanced PCB stack-ups, optical instrumentation, automated measurements, and coherent optical communications.

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.

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 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.

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.

Lead design and development of complex DoD embedded hardware (SBC, FPGA, switch, I/O) in 3U/6U VPX and custom form factors. Drive high-speed mixed-signal PCB design, thermal/power solutions (including LFT), testing, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration to meet schedule-driven program requirements and improve product performance and reliability.

Develop production hardware and software test solutions for RF mobile network products. Build and support test fixtures, test applications, equipment integrations, and design-for-test recommendations. Collaborate with R&D, software, supply chain, manufacturing, services, and external factories from new product introduction through volume production. Analyze tester performance, resolve design issues, and create documentation and test plans.

Debug and resolve complex hardware/software issues for manufacturing test stations. Lead commissioning and release-to-manufacturing of opto-electrical test stations, improve test uptime, provide documentation and support to contract manufacturers and vendors, coordinate equipment RFQs/RMAs, and use AI tools for data analysis.

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