TL;DR · AI Scale-up Switch System Design Engineer

The AI Scale-up Switch System Design Engineer joins the team to lead the bring-up and validation of state-of-the-art switches for high-density GPU compute racks. This role involves driving switch platforms from initial power-on through full system qualification, focusing on high-speed Ethernet and server management. Key responsibilities include performing high-speed SerDes and link bring-up, tuning TX equalization, and characterizing signal integrity across 200G, 400G, and 800G interfaces. The engineer will execute link qualification testing using PRBS, Snake Traffic, and FEC analysis while utilizing LinkCAT and Broadcom SDK tools. Necessary skills include Python for test automation, experience with BMC/IPMI and Redfish APIs, and the ability to debug complex hardware, firmware, and software failures to solve signal integrity and management plane anomalies.

What you'll do

  • Lead the system bring-up and validation of AI scale-up switches from initial power-on to full qualification.
  • Perform high-speed SerDes and link bring-up, including TX equalization tuning and signal integrity characterization for 200G/400G/800G interfaces.
  • Execute link qualification testing using PRBS, Snake Traffic loopback testing, and FEC analysis to validate BER performance.
  • Use LinkCAT and Broadcom SDK tools to characterize port performance and diagnose link failures across large port counts.
  • Integrate and validate server management infrastructure including BMC/IPMI, Redfish API, and out-of-band management workflows.
  • Develop and maintain Python scripts to automate bring-up and validation coverage across various chassis configurations.
  • Debug complex system-level failures across hardware, firmware, and software to identify root causes for signal integrity or firmware crashes.
  • Maintain detailed bring-up documentation, test reports, and issue tracking throughout the product development lifecycle.

What we're looking for

  • Lead system bring-up and validation of AI scale-up switches from initial power-on through full system qualification.
  • Perform high-speed SerDes and link bring-up, including TX equalization tuning and signal integrity characterization for 200G/400G/800G interfaces.
  • Execute link qualification testing using PRBS, Snake Traffic loopback testing, and FEC analysis to validate BER performance.
  • Utilize LinkCAT and Broadcom SDK tools to characterize port performance and diagnose link failures.
  • Integrate and validate server management infrastructure including BMC/IPMI, Redfish API, and out-of-band management workflows.
  • Develop and maintain bring-up scripts and test automation using Python.
  • Debug complex system-level failures across hardware, firmware, and software to identify root causes.
  • Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field (preferred).
