TL;DR · Data Center Structural Test Solutions Architect

Data Center Structural Test Solutions Architect The Data Center Structural Test Solutions Architect leads the development and implementation of structural test methodologies for Instinct Accelerator solutions. This role involves managing test planning, pattern conversion, characterization, and data analysis to identify SMT, PCB, and component issues during engineering validation stages. The architect collaborates with cross-functional teams, including design, platform engineering, and external vendors, to optimize test plans and provide feedback on early design phases. Key responsibilities include developing automated diagnostic infrastructure, defining ICT capabilities, and coordinating fixture automation. Required technical skills include proficiency in Python, C++, Java, or C#, along with experience in Unix/Linux environments and scripting languages like Perl or Ruby. The role requires expertise in IEEE standards such as 1500 and 1149.1, as well as knowledge of IPMI, PCIe, BMC, and thermal solutions to solve complex hardware and software issues.

What you'll do

  • Develop and implement structural test methodologies starting from EVT builds to identify SMT, PCB, and component issues.
  • Drive structural test coverage simulation and analysis across AOI, AXI, and ICT stages.
  • Create test strategies for new product features including the specification and qualification of fixtures, equipment, and diagnostic software.
  • Provide technical feedback on DFT during early design stages to improve future hardware designs.
  • Debug complex hardware and software issues during various build phases.
  • Develop automated diagnostic generation and validation infrastructure using Python or other scripting languages.
  • Define ICT capabilities, hardware design requirements, and board debug capabilities from design review through mass production.
  • Coordinate with vendors, contract manufacturers, and internal teams to manage test fixture and platform automation.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering (Master's preferred).
  • Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Ruby, or shell script.
  • Proficiency in Unix/Linux environments and experience with revision control systems like GIT or SVN.
  • Knowledge of hardware protocols including IPMI, PCIE, BMC, and Thermal Solutions.
  • Expertise in DFT (Design for Test) methodologies, including structural test coverage, pattern conversion, and fault simulation.
  • Familiarity with IEEE standards such as 1500, 1149.1, 1687, and 1838.
  • Experience in hardware/software debugging across device and manufacturing domains.
  • Proficiency in programming languages including C++, Java, C, or C#.
