Senior Systems Design Engineer
Mythic · Austin, TX · 1 mo ago
HybridEngineeringFull-time
What You’ll Own
- Own design and development of reference boards and hardware platforms
- Translate silicon capabilities into practical, high-quality system designs
- Drive schematic design and guide PCB layout (internally or with external partners)
- Own key hardware subsystems including power delivery, high-speed interfaces, and clocking
- Ensure signal integrity, power integrity, and overall system robustness
- Define and incorporate package-level constraints into board design
- Partner with OSATs and manufacturing vendors to ensure smooth package-to-board integration
- Support board bring-up and collaborate on debugging system-level issues
- Drive design for manufacturability (DFM) and readiness for prototype and production builds
- Work closely with integration, product, test, and packaging teams to ensure successful system deployment
What We’re Looking For
- Significant experience in hardware or board-level design
- Strong background in high-speed digital design and power delivery
- Experience designing and bringing up complex PCBs
- Familiarity with PCB design tools (Altium, Cadence, or similar)
- Understanding of package-to-board interactions and system-level constraints
- Strong engineering judgment and attention to detail
- Experience working with external vendors (PCB, OSAT)
- Builder mindset: you do not wait for perfect requirements — you create working systems
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with AI/ML hardware or high-performance compute platforms
- Exposure to multi-die or chiplet-based systems
- Familiarity with thermal and mechanical considerations in hardware design
What Success Looks Like
- Reference boards are robust, reliable, and require minimal re-spins
- Hardware platforms are easy to use, stable, and ready for integration
- Designs account for real-world constraints early, reducing downstream issues
- Strong collaboration with integration, product, and manufacturing teams
- Smooth transition from prototype builds to manufacturable designs
