Hardware Design Engineer

Arbitech, LLC is seeking a Hardware Design Engineer to help advance next-generation server architecture and infrastructure solutions. This onsite role in Henderson, NV offers a clear end-to-end ownership path, from early hardware design decisions through prototyping, thermal work, and validation testing, with collaboration across firmware, BIOS, and OS.

Compensation: USD 150,000 - 160,000 per year. Job type: Full-time.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate and select critical high-performance hardware, including processors (CPUs/GPUs), memory modules, storage controllers, and high-speed PCIe interfaces.
• Build, modify, and validate physical prototypes using laboratory equipment to assess signal integrity and system stability.
• Analyze and optimize server systems to improve power efficiency, thermal dissipation, signal integrity, and structural compliance with industry standards.
• Partner with the imaging team (Firmware, BIOS, and OS) to troubleshoot low-level system interactions, conduct root-cause debugging, and support hardware-software integration.
• Write detailed functional and manufacturing specifications, coordinate with production partners, and review quality-control metrics to transition prototypes into mass production.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a highly related technical discipline preferred but not required.
• 3+ years of experience in computer hardware development, focused on high-performance server systems, complex motherboard designs, or rackmount infrastructure.
• Deep understanding of high-speed bus architectures, PCIe slot allocations, signal routing, and power distribution networks.
• Familiarity with hardware-level debugging, including CPU/firmware volume stress testing and the use of lab test instruments.
• Understanding of server operating systems (Linux, Windows Server), virtualization environments (VMware, Hyper-V), and low-level firmware architectures.
• Strong analytical problem-solving skills, solid technical documentation habits, and a highly collaborative team mindset.
• Preferred experience designing system architectures optimized for Edge AI, computer vision workloads, or high-density video surveillance processing.
• Preferred experience with 1U/2U rackmount form factors and Power over Ethernet (PoE) hardware systems.
• Preferred background in thermal engineering, chassis design, or fanless industrial computer systems.
