Your Impact

Do you want to architect high-performance hardware platforms that power the next generation of AI infrastructure? Are you energized by taking full engineering ownership of complex board designs from initial concept all the way through to mass production? In this role, you will spearhead innovative silicon board designs, serving as the technical decision-maker for flagship hardware programs while collaborating closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams in mechanics, thermal design, PCB layout, and software/RTL.

You will define product specifications, develop electrical schematics, lead critical component selection, and drive layout, SI/PI, thermal, and packaging co-design throughout the product lifecycle. Working directly in our lab environment, you will lead PCB bring-up, power rail characterization, and systematic hardware debugging to deliver first-pass working hardware. Enjoy the speed and creative ownership of a startup with the scale and benefits of a global tech giant—join our growing Silicon One team right next to the Caesarea train station!

Must Requirements
