The engineer collaborates with cross-functional teams and layout partners from feasibility through mass production.

Designs high-power, high-density Ethernet switching hardware from functional specifications through mass production. Responsibilities include component qualification, complex schematic capture, high-speed PCB design, signal and power integrity analysis, PCB fabrication specifications, prototype bring-up, system debugging, contract manufacturer collaboration, manufacturing training, and mentoring engineers. The role focuses on 100G/200G PAM4 networking products, advanced multilayer boards, embedded systems, high-current power delivery, and FPGA-based system simulation.

Lead manufacturing readiness and NPI transfer for complex data center networking equipment, including switches, routers, and optical transport systems. Develop manufacturing processes, drive DFX reviews, plan production capacity and equipment, qualify functional test systems, and support high-volume product launches. The role requires expertise in high-speed signal integrity, advanced PCBA manufacturing, liquid cooling, statistical quality tools, automated testing, and sustaining engineering. Collaborate with design, engineering, contract manufacturers, suppliers, and production teams to achieve high yield, quality, and reliable mass production.

Own PCB component engineering across design, layout, fabrication, supplier qualification, and manufacturing readiness. Lead PCB supplier assessments, audits, commodity strategy, failure analysis, corrective actions, and complex technical issue resolution. Drive HDI architecture, DFM, DFA, DFT, signal and power integrity, component footprint standards, vendor capability alignment, and engineering question resolution. Mentor layout teams and collaborate with design, supply chain, manufacturing, NPI, and external fabrication and assembly partners.

Lead reliability testing and qualification of optical transceivers from prototype through mass production. Develop qualification plans, oversee vendor testing, define environmental and life-testing standards, analyze reliability data, investigate failures using microscopy and other failure-analysis tools, and drive corrective actions with cross-functional engineering teams. Partner with customers on reliability requirements and debugging, and travel to Asia-based contract manufacturing facilities as needed.

Support design and sourcing of electromechanical components for data-center networking products. Research and qualify components, manage lifecycle and change orders, assess risks, ensure compliance (RoHS/REACH/EMC), collaborate with suppliers, perform thermal and mechanical analysis, and produce CAD deliverables using Creo.

The Lead Optics Test Engineer will lead optical design verification testing for advanced optical transceivers, develop specifications, conduct testing, and serve as a subject matter expert on optics.

As a Senior Hardware Systems Engineer, you will lead AI rack and cluster infrastructure designs, manage deployments, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize data center solutions.

The role involves developing diagnostic software for hardware validation in high-speed digital designs, working closely with engineering teams and participating in project management activities.

The Power Supply Development Engineer designs and qualifies OEM power supplies, collaborates with vendors, and ensures compliance with regulatory standards while providing innovative solutions in power systems.

Lead the design and validation of advanced optical interconnect products, collaborating with multiple teams to ensure performance and manufacturability.

Design, simulate, and characterize interconnects for high-speed Ethernet and optical systems, focusing on Signal Integrity and Power Integrity in hardware engineering.

Own a named list of 15-20 enterprise accounts in the San Francisco area, exceed sales targets, present to C-levels, align Arista technical resources to customer outcomes, design solutions with systems engineers, manage channel relationships, run demand-generation events, and stay current on competing and partner technologies.

Define optical interconnect use cases and deployment tools, develop Python test automation, run hands-on optical/electrical lab tests (DWDM, coherent/IMDD), analyze test data, produce documentation and demos, and collaborate with sales, PLM, firmware, and hardware teams to support product validation and conference demonstrations.
