The Failure Analysis & System Validation Engineer joins the Product Quality Organization to perform critical failure analysis across cutting-edge semiconductor products. This role involves bringing up server platforms, developing and executing designs of experiments to isolate failures, and performing root cause analysis for silicon, system, and rack-level issues. The engineer will develop automation tools to analyze logs, collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve hardware and firmware problems, and oversee the setup of test stations for new product introductions. Key technical requirements include expertise in CPU/GPU architecture, Power Management, PCIe, Memory Validation, and UPI. Candidates should possess strong programming skills in Python or shell scripting across Windows and Linux environments. The role addresses complex hardware and firmware failures within high-performance computing and data center infrastructure to ensure product reliability and quality.
