TL;DR · GPU Boards Failure Analysis Engineer

The GPU boards Failure Analysis Engineer joins the Quality Returns Debug Team to perform board-level PCBA failure analysis on customer and factory failures of GPU Accelerators. This role involves reproducing reported failures, isolating root causes, and collaborating with cross-functional teams including design, firmware, and manufacturing to drive corrective actions. The engineer will develop and execute designs of experiments, create automation tools for test analysis, and document findings in a failure analysis database. Key technical requirements include expertise in GPU architecture, hardware validation using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers, and proficiency in Python and shell scripting across Windows and Linux environments. Candidates must be skilled in PCBA diagnostics, soldering, reading schematics, and understanding high-speed digital design, memory interfaces like HBM and GDDR, and PCIe. The role addresses critical product quality and reliability issues within the High Performance Computing domain.

What you'll do

  • Perform board-level failure analysis on GPU PCBA products to identify and isolate root causes of hardware failures.
  • Develop and execute Designs of Experiment (DOE) to reproduce and isolate hard-to-find technical issues.
  • Create automation tools and scripts to run tests and analyze system logs.
  • Coordinate with cross-functional teams and contract manufacturers to drive corrective actions for product quality.
  • Document all findings in the failure analysis database and create reports for customer consumption.
  • Present technical findings and root cause analyses to senior management and key stakeholders.
  • Improve failure analysis processes and develop standard operating procedures for testing techniques.
  • Oversee the setup of new products and test stations for failure analysis operations.

What we're looking for

  • Experience in GPU PCBA debug and failure analysis is required.
  • Ability to perform board level (PCBA) failure analysis to isolate causes and drive root cause actions.
  • Proficiency in developing and executing Designs of Experiments (DOE) to reproduce hard-to-find failures.
  • Ability to develop automation tools for test execution and log analysis.
  • Bachelor’s or master's degree in electrical or computer engineering (preferred).
  • Deep expertise in GPU architecture, including debug, validation, and stress/functional test development (preferred).
  • Skill in using lab equipment like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers for hardware validation (preferred).
  • Proficiency in Python, shell scripting, and working across Windows and Linux environments (preferred).
