Hardware Developer 3

Department Description

The Oracle hardware development team in Burlington is responsible for the architecture, design, validation, and release of industry leading enterprise class, X86 and ARM based server products used in Oracle Engineered Systems and Cloud infrastructure.

Job Responsibilities

This position is for an experienced hardware engineer to provide engineering support for Oracle server platforms and electrical testing of next generation server products to be used in Oracle’s Cloud and Exadata product lines. Job responsibilities include measurement and analysis of electrical signaling providing signal/ circuit enhancement recommendations to design engineers, performing signal and power integrity circuit simulations, timing analysis and end-to-end empirical testing of high-speed interfaces using a variety of measurement and analysis tools. Other responsibilities include providing layout, routing, and PCB stack-up feedback to design engineers, investigating evolving high speed interface technologies and developing comprehensive validation testing strategies and procedures. Support of deployed systems is also an important responsibility, and this includes troubleshooting and root cause analysis of complex board and system level functional and or performance issues and developing and executing alternate component qualification test plans. This candidate will also provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers.
