About Xsight Labs
Xsight Labs is building the open, programmable silicon that powers cloud and AI infrastructure. Our X-Series Ethernet switches deliver 12.8 Tbps at sub-700ns latency on an open ISA. Our E1 DPU runs 800 Gbps with 64 Arm cores in the data path. Both are in production today, with deployments at operators building modern infrastructure. We're a fabless team in Kiryat Gat, Boston, Raleigh-Durham, and the Bay Area.
Description
This position will report to the Director of Customer Engineering within the Commercial team. As a Hardware Applications Engineer, you will play a hands-on role in enabling Xsight customers to successfully design hardware around our X2 switch and E1 DPU silicon.
You’ll work directly with customer hardware teams on schematic reviews, PCB layout reviews, and high-speed signal integrity analysis — helping bring new data center networking and DPU platforms to market.
This is a dynamic role, where day-to-day activities are shaped by the diversity of customer board designs and the breadth of Xsight’s silicon portfolio. Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
- Conduct schematic reviews of customer boards integrating X2 switch or E1 DPU silicon, validating power delivery, reset/boot sequencing, and interface connections against Xsight design guidelines.
- Conduct PCB layout reviews focused on high-speed SerDes routing (up to 224G PAM4), differential pair matching, impedance control, and breakout strategy for high pin-count BGA packages.
- Support power integrity and power delivery network (PDN) design reviews for high-density silicon operating within tight power and thermal envelopes. • Define detailed hardware test plans and proof-of-concept plans in support of customer evaluations.
- Collaborate with internal engineering teams (silicon, package, SI/PI, firmware) to resolve customer design issues.
- Communicate cross-functionally with Marketing, Sales, and R&D.
- Create and maintain hardware design-in documentation and reference design collateral.
- Conduct technical training sessions and workshops on hardware design-in practices. • Provide ongoing post-sales technical support.
